    Another curious thing...

    While Lady Augusta (W124) is in the car spa having a body rub and facial, Lady Genevieve is out and about. A curious thing has happened, the odometer has stopped turning even though the speedometer is fine. I had the cluster out and eveything seemed to be in order. The gearwheels have all...

    Just for fun!

    Today has been a lovely sunny warm winter's day so I decided to take Lady Genevieve for a spin. I've got a new short term contract in the next town, about 6 miles away, so I thought it would be a good opportunity for her to have a spin. I just can't say it enough but, the w116 is such a...

    W140 S700 AMG Coupe

    L.G as a role model! Well, I'm sure she'll be pleased to know that. Beware though, under that fine exterior there are some devilish traits, and when she wishes she can be just that....Devilshly divine!

    W140 S700 AMG Coupe

    Yes, it was for sale but it's a dealership. At the time they were asking between R$200,000 - R$300,000 :eek: for a 1992(?) car. Rarity value!

    W140 S700 AMG Coupe

    When I turned on the engine the ground shook...literally! A fabulous thing with an amazing sound system with a multi-function vertical joystick kind of affair.

    Starting problems

    For the last couple of days my W124 300E has been a bit difficult to start after the initial morning warm-up on the way to work. Once it's running everything is just fine and dandy. When the motor's stone cold it starts easily but after that it takes a few turns of the key to get it going. :(...

    Dressing up?

    What do you guys think about dressing up the interior of a classic car? For example, when I bought my w116 there was no driver seat armrest. I scouted round until I got an exact year/colour match. I know it's not 'original' but it is period. I also upgraded the vinyl console to wood from a...

    Tyre advice!

    Does anyone have any experience with Bridgestone tyres? I'm looking to fit either them or Goodyears to my W124 300E. The final price is almost the same but, what about durability and performance? I use GYs on my W116 without any problems. However, BS are really promoting their products and...
