- 1987 W124 300D 280k miles
Last day at work til september so time for the annual trip home to blighty tomorrow. This time decided the 1k miles direct through france was a bit too tame so instead we're going Barcelona, montpellier, Cinqueterra (la spezia), lake como, stelvio pass, austria, prague, berlin, brugge and finally London...
2.3k miles and as usual i'm entrusting this task to my tatty old w124 (complete with uneven idle, jerky 4th to 3rd gearchange, sometimes creaky suspension and no viscous coupling at all) loaded with camping gear...
Just checked everything and tyres are all pumped, not a mm of fluid has leaked and the bulbs all work so fingers crossed it will make it (and pass the MOT i'm getting done at dover upon re-entry)...
Will post photos and an update once the trip is completed, and wishing everyone a very happy holiday season however you are spending it!
