am I getting old?

BUT is all the extra stuff REALLY doing any good?

I think the little we save the planet by running a car with all the emission gizmos is a drop in the ocean compared to what some countries pollute the atmosphere. If they really believe our planet is under threat by pollution, the clean-up needs to be worldwide.

Another positive thing about modern car technology & maybe helped by oil quality. When I was an apprentice in late 60s early 70s we used to get cars in for engine overhauls with 60k miles on them, they were worn out. A modern car is just run in at 60k.

thats a bit of a cop out, it has to start with each and everyone of us in all our daily actions particularly our spending

And if you go back to the 50's a ford side valve would only go 22k miles, no motorways then and no one traveled that far really

it would be nice if there was such a thing as a Mercedes old folk's home












But thinking about it maybe not a good idea if forums are anything to go by

The walls would be damp and running with rust and you would have to use STAR to get assistance.
The receptionist would be cute though but the fees would cripple us :lol::lol:

Malcolm. We could always monitor who lives there with us, any undesirables would not be allowed in.

I would be paranoid about rust from owning 210 MBs, I would be spraying waxoil on my Zimmer frame & painting it with Por15 to stop the rust.

Malcolm, could have a mobility 4 wheel electric scooter “With everything“ It would have to have a 7G transmission, distronic, heated massage memory seat, lane assist, command, HG sound system,ect,ect.

We could sit at nights with our ovaltines complaining about how unreliable our Zimmer & scooters are .
Sounds a good idea.
