Today i went to pick up my new acquisition, a 300D from Kent coast. The 60 miles journey back wasnt bad for a diesel. A pure spur of the moment purchase under a monkey! A few shots before the carwash ![]()

A W124 with the bombproof, trusty 3.0 non turbo, 12valve diesel fitted. No powerhouse, but very satisfying to drive and that engine has a delightful, surpressed diesel thrum. It's so distinctive a noise, that I can tell one is nearby without seeing it. Sad but true.Plus it's an engine fit for serious mileage. We're talking truck mileage here, i.e 600k and beyond. I have been in one with just that mileage.

you cant beat a 3litre diesel 124, mines done 400,000 , it has all sorts of extra 'things' bolted to its sides, and gets treated like this :-![]() And it never misses a beat

My lovely 300D was stolen last night, caught on CCTV at 19.55 came with a LDV and hooked it on my towbar and drove off into the night with it What f**king bunch of split a*se thieving C*nts. Must be heading out to europe or africa if not broken for spare. Funny thing is i just bought a steering lock for it to get it running again. |

Will I scanned my CCTV but seeing as the camera moves every so often, i could only see the guys taking it away, they knew what they were after. The neighbouring unit to me had the 2 rear wheels stolen of their transit van which they park outside, this happened last week. Plus the unit opposite us had 3 sprinter Cat converters stolen 2 weeks before. My 300d has sat outside for 5 months and not a soul has bothered it, not a popped window or a torched motor as has happened before to one of our old non runner vans left outside the unit. I know the chances of finding it is very slim. Edited by PARI, Mon Oct 17, 2011 11:26 am.

Thanks Neil and everyone for the thoughts. I had a car stolen back in 2003 /2004 cant remember i was jacked at a busy petrol station, I was dragged along the A12 holding the door handle in one hand and trying to punch the window with the other but couldnt hold on much at at the high speed he drove off at . Insurance didnt pay out because car went with the keys. BUT a year later around christmas got a phone call from police saying they have detained the car after the driver jumped a red light. Got the car back with a few thousand miles added and a tatty interior with changed number plates. Thats what I call lucky, after a year to hear of your car being found. Id be the luckiest man alive if this happened to me for a second time. Edited by PARI, Tue Oct 18, 2011 8:30 pm.

So sorry to hear this mate, thieving scum. My mate has a car stolen off his drive a couple of weeks ago. Drove up with a truck, hooked it up and drove off. He was only working on it for a mate and next morning it was gone. His elderly mum watched it from the upstairs window, hadnt a clue that he wasnt down there organising it !! The police told him its getting more common and probably already in a container in parts on its way abroad. |
