Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

The Panzerwagen is back from Automerc after being given a thorough going over to catch up with 5 years of inadequate maintenance. It may have just cost me the best part of 2 grand, but fuck me, it drives like its brand new now. I absolutely love it. No rattles, squeaks, creaks or other noises, sure footed handling, quiet engine, snappy gearchanges, tremendously eager performance, and no more leaks :-) it's bloody brilliant. :-)

And it's still cheaper than running something new and shite on finance.

W124s are ace, period.
I once nearly sold one of mine to Mr Nick Froome.
Bar the SLS, parts are quite cheap and much DIY is easy.
Front lower balls joints are a right sod. Did those on my W202...never again.
