I've no idea where they're going, Geoff, but they're not going there in my W126.

Wussy maybe, but I wouldn't let the maid near it either :D

Oh no, they look far too hairy for my liking. Probably lovely dogs but they're not getting anywhere near my W126. I don't even let the kids in it and they're almost house trained. Tim, take the dog out in the Yaris.

Just had a stainless steel muffler made and fitted to the old W126. Can't wait to pick it up and have a look.

Looks like the battery on my W210 needs replacing - it's 10 years old and won't take a charge. I might also get a new one for the W126 while I'm at it. Does anyone know a good mobile service that will come out to my home and replace them? The cars don;t get used much so is there a particular...

The 2010 MBCNSW Concours is getting closer. Anyone entering? Any early preparation happening?

Picked-up an S-Class wheel yesterday off ebay which, reportedly, came off a W126 420SEL. Paid the princely sum of $5.50 for it. Probably have absolutely no need for it but was rather surprised I got it that cheap.

To be honest, on most cars I'd say no but it does seem to work on yours. It's a fairly distinctive car and those wheels add to that distinctive look.

Ok, I know it's a W116 community here but while I'm in the mood for showing off, here's a few (bad) pics of my W210. It seems that some MB purists aren't keen on the poor 210 but there's something about them that I find really pleasing to the eye.

Thank you for your compliments, Styria. It was quite hard work but also immensely enjoyable (in the main). Obviously it’s lovely to win, but all of the nice comments I received about the car on the day make it just as worthwhile. I think it’s also fair to say that all of the cars looked...

With various Concours coming up, I thought we could all learn from an expert. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOJqntJjn9I&feature=channel :eek: :eek: :eek:

The old Citroen Deux Cheveux, anyone remember them? I saw one in Sydney yesterday. Used to have one myself back in 1987 and I loved it to bits. Would dearly like to get hold of another one (wife permitting). Can there have ever been a stranger car?

Right, I'm "working" from home today and rather than follow in the footsteps of Des (i.e. take a day off and wreck your car) I've decided to give the engine bay of the 300SE a good seeing to. Pictures to follow.

Right, the headrests are off my W126 and I had a spare hour so thought I'd use and compare a couple of leather care products on them. It's AutoGlym Leather Cleaner and Leather Care Cream versus Duragloss 441 (Leather Shampoo) and 221 (Leather Conditioner). Autoglym: The cleaner was sprayed...

Not for a 116 or a 107 but, err, cough, off a W210. I bought these off ebay for $150. The one shown here is the worst of them. In fact, 2 of them are near perfect. I might try my hand at doing a refurb. http://i607.photobucket.com/albums/tt153/E200K_300SE/FILE0019.jpg (sorry for the naff...
