[SIZE=7] Greetings one and all. I've just bought myself a pristine White 190 Auto circa 1989 with a mere 69K miles on the clock and a full service history. This is my second Merc the first being a 1955 180B that I bought when serving in Germany in 1966. I've always found Forums full of like minded folk with all the answers to help this poor Luddite with any technical queries. bow.gif . So hopefully I'll be an active member and I'll be picking your brains from time to time. Cheers for now

Hi, and welcome to the site. I see that you were in Germany in 1966. So was I. Where were you ? I was in Osnabruck and I was in the Royal Fusiliers. Mike. |

Sorry but the 180B finally passed away in the mid 70's The build quality wasn't up to scratch in those days and rust got the better of it in the end. Lovely car to drive and if I managed to get it above 100 kph I'd celebrate Certainly not a car to rush anywhere in.....well mine wasn't. Cheers :mercedes: |

Shuggie,I too had a great time in Germany. It was a few very happy years. We used to fly in and out of Gutesloh. We used to do guard duty on Rudolph Hess in Spandau castle .Got to know him a bit. We also did guard duty at Senelager. Great days and lots of great memories too ! Welcome . Mike. |
