BrianBrians SL Diesel, test drive!

[robparker]

So, anyone who has heard of the famous 'SL250d' that brian has will know he has completed the project. He kindly today let us have a drive in it, and what an impressive feat he has managed! He has a 2 key system to turn it on, so that you can turn off the diesel injection pump seperately from the rest of the cars electrics. To drive it, it all works perfectly! Its not slow either, its nippy off the line, cruises along nicely, it does make you double take it when you hear it coming down the road and then see this shiney 129 SL with the diesel taxi engine sound!! He has a unique one-of-a-kind car now, and those who dont understand why he has done it... if you want a standard 129 there are many out there, his wont suit everyone, but the time and effort that gone into making it work, you have to take your hat off to him! I hope you all get to see it at a club meet soon! its truly unique.
