    My US-based friend's partial collection of MBs

    ... and the rest (R107, W116 450 and the C107 500SLC). Simply inspirational - these cars are all time-warp perfect, unmolested and the stuff of dreamz (I took the photos less than a year ago, &/or my friend did as some are on the East Coast, some on the West Coast):

    Cranky about non-original chrome wheel arch trims!!!

    Hi All - I have surprised myself at how annoyed I am regarding the scourge of non-original chrome wheel arch trims fitted to seemingly the majority of 107s and 116s (and 126s, 140s too) out there in Carland. (Apologies to those Members and guests who have and/or like them. No offence...

    6.9 fuel consumption

    I'd be very interested in fuel consumption data amongst the 6.9 community... My AUS-delivered model delivers 20-21 litres/100km (about 13.5mpg) when driven sparingly in the Sydney metro area (not much peak hour or bumper-to-bumper). I am a bit discouraged by this even though it is a...

    Hirschmann 6000U aerial fix

    The w116's with Becker radios usually came with the 6000U retracting antenna. Mine was not working very well due to a bent mast and who knows what else! I bit the bullet and removed it. Upon opening up the box I found corrosion and evidence of bugs that had found a home there. See the photo...

    Air conditioning that works too well!

    An interesting experience that I would like to share: My 6.9's air conditioning was refrigerating air so well that condensation was forming on the outside of the condensor box behind the dash. Once the condensation reached a certain thickness it dripped down and wet the carpet in the...
