Had this two years now, don't really use it, don't really need it but don't want to sell it either!

For the daily and for the weekend. Can't have German efficiency without a bit of British Engineering to balance the garage.

My perfect two car garage.

[Deranged Rover]

My W211 E200 Kompressor estate.



It's supposed to be my 'sensible' option whilst inbetween Range Rovers but, frankly, I'm struggling to love it. It is a very nice place to travel in, handles well and isn't as dismally slow as 1.8L might suggest but the niggly stuff is irritating me.

It likes to tell me I have a bulb gone when I haven't, the parking sensors work when they feel like it, the rear washer has a mind of its own and it likes to occasionally tell me that my ESP/ABS and brake system are on the brink of imminent doom before deciding that, oh wait, no they're not.

Electrical niggles on a Range Rover I can accept - hell, I even expect it, but my old L322 was a damn sight less flaky than this!

My W212 E63 AMG in Magno Paint;




And the £125 R170 SLK230K that I cant bring myself to part with;



If anyone wants to see more, I have hundreds of pictures of both. I take too many!!

This is my first Merc and it's only recent so far I only have pictures from when I collected it. I wanted a change to a jack of all trades car and so far I am happy with the choice/compromise.

Here's my E320 CDI daily driver on a recent camping trip (where I slept in the back with the seats down):




And a photo from the heavy snow in March - unrecognisably lurking in the background is my E38:

I have one of these on my shortlist as a replacement for my 320d lease being returned early. Local one for sale, full FSH, loads of parts added, timing chain just done. Described as immaculate and from pics looks it. Avantgarde spec with 7 seat option which I don’t really need but no sunroof or heated seats which I’d like.
It’s 2004 150,000 looking £1850. E200 1.8 but not rear badges.
No mention in ad of SBC replacement etc, did all prefacelift have it or just bigger engines?
Can more power be extracted? Any help appreciated.

We've bought another Mercedes, a 'sunny day' car to go with the daily CL63 and GL.... one of the final R129 SLs built, an SL 320 Designo Almandine edition

I'd say that must be the thread winner.

I did that with my Subaru a few years ago with exactly the same result. Bloody things must weigh a Kg. At 100 my grill didn't stand a chance. Thing is, I saw it from over half a mile away and changed lanes to avoid it but it went for me.

Birds can do some damage can't they. Many, many years ago I was in my track prepped RX 7 and a pheasant that I reckon must have been flying at over 100 hit my car. It completely wiped out left side light and indicators.
