...but it's bigger brother - only with less doors. Though I registered anyway, as the 190 community seems to be keener to apply modifications to enhance performance and handling. The 124 community is less - "open" to that. If I may put it this way... And since both chassis share a good deal of components - well hello! Car's nothing special, a '88 300CE I converted to Turbodiesel. And I'm looking into some brake upgrades, just because I detest sliding calipers. Not that the car needs bigger/better brakes. Cheers, Turbo-DieselWeasel |

Hi and welcome, I have a C124 also, they are lovely cars. Post some pictures up as Im sure I wont be the only one interested in seeing them! With regards to 124 forums, I found them to be a bit stuffy also, the one time I went on lookng for answers to an issue i was having, I decided never to go back as a result of the smart replies recieved. None of the nonsense here! |

Thanks! The interior was 50% of the reason tu buy it The paint's colour the other 50% Then I drove it for about a year and then decided I wanted a Turbodiesel in my life - without selling this car. And that was that. It's car n°2 on the "will stay forever" list. And I had a fair share of cars in the last 10 years... Edited by DieselWeasel, Thu Nov 14, 2013 5:08 pm.

RR, yes. There's the whole story of the car so far... Hope it's OK if I put up a link? http://retrorides.proboards.com/thread/135435 Could listen to this engine idling the whole day. And night. And it's the perfect engine to just cruise around...

Read your retro rides thread for the first time ever today, very impressed! You have to buy a 190 and drop a 3.0 diesel in..... so I can then copy! Keep up the good work! Also, just a quick note, my dad actually owns a 300CD W123 imported from California where they only ever supplied 8007 of that particular model. Very cool car to have and coincidentally its the same gold colour as yours! Eugene |

The paint's colour the other 50%
