What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

[SJMaxwell]

That must have been some saving to drive to sunny Essex buddy

£100 labour and £105 on the air filters I didn't need (have BMC) but Maidstone insisted I had to have them!

That's a lot of difference worth a quick drive in a nice day !

Do you think I’ve made a mistake painting the inner part of my tail pipe tips. This is part of the car I’ve neglected, due to the fact I can’t kneel down because of bad knees. So I made a painful effort to clean them up as they let the car down. I’m not sure I’ve done the right thing...

They look ok to me

Quad exhausts on an SL55 never look tacky

Today I had a delightful and sometimes spirited drive down to Bude in Cornwall. The weather was perfect. Could not have the roof down because we has two cases, the dogs bits and pieces his crate, his bedding, his toys, and food, my wife’s need for extra towels and her handbag, (which tested the suspension) food for the weekend, a crate of beers abirtday cake that my wife’s daughter bought her and a helium ballon...however the view is worth it...

Failed suspension ?

Wow! I wish I could have been there, those cars look fantastic...

It was a real treat Les. They drew up outside hotel reception and I grabbed some photos then went up to my room. Minutes later I looked out as they were marshalled into space beside my car. Couldn't resist, I had to go back down and get a picture of mine in their line. The duty manager was very impressed by the 190 and declared it, 'The nicest car we've ever had here.' They stayed one night, then set off for Newquay. They're Germans touring the west country. One of them had a 1957 Jaguar, 2 seater convertible. All in lovely condition.

I’m always impressed when I see classic cars, a group of them and I’m like a kid in a sweet shop. Saying “I had one of those or I wish I had one of those...I’ve had some lovely cars in the past, but never thought they would become classics. If only I had a barn...

Only thing is they’ll be black within a month ( ask me how I know ?), meantime look fabulous ! I have bad knees too so last time I took them off to do ( Tip from Daveenty didn’t know they were just held on with a torx!)
Exhaust tips not knees before Blobcat says it
