Nemo Any shrink you can recommend??
B17 Flying Fortress 1/72
Too hot to spray the Maserati so might play with 40-year-old 1/72 stuff, such as the B17 Flying Fortress by Matchbox

BMW E9 3.0 Sharknose service.
The Sharknose had its propeller shaft universal joint renewed along with mid-bearing and balanced not too long ago. The substandard bearing developed play and fairly horrible noise in just under 400 km. The bearing gets changed and hopefully silent ride continues more than half a ton this time.

Nemo the brand may be German but the part is made in India, Taiwan, China etc.

Hans Baumaster I once saw the car in metal in the 70's I guess it was blue or green. Anyway he nose job reminds me of a 70's Mazda Cosmo, not sure if that's an improvement over the original.

Mercedes W111 W112 Coupe Concepts
Mercedes w111 / w112 coupe was not guaranteed to be the elegant design we know today. This early concept sports American style panoramic screen, landau let roof and stubby sedan style bumper.

Heckflosse Taillights mixing seda/coupe style. the bumper is not sedan but unique to this concept. notice the lack of bumprettes ! -
Andreas Sedan dash with the thermometer speedo and judging by how the bonnet curves it also sports the w113 grill
-
Nemo Has anyone ever driven a landaulet?
-
JagMan Bet wind would be buffeting like hell. -
Hans Baumaster or STW where you can lover the rear screen?

Adam The most outrageous part of the venture led by Jonathan Netanyahu -brother to Benjamin Netanyahu- was to use a 220D disguised as one of Idi Amins Mercedes 600 Limos.
-
Adam To everyones surprise the plan was a huge success they managed to save all but one hostage, with Jonathan Netanyahu as only casualty of the commandos
-
Winterbottom Well, what can one say, truth is stranger than fiction! -
JoyRide Mental! You cannot make this shite up : =)

German Car Fan Very shady paint job over the 220 emblem ; )
American junkyard in the 60's

Mercedes 280SE 5.0 W108
280SE 5.0 -a little story how (not?) to swap a 5.0 m117 light alloy engine followed by a four speed slush box into a vintage Mercedes, 280SE w108. To make things more ticklish the whole procedure will be carried outdoor during the winter months. OK, admitted under a roof -Oh boy aren't spoiled?
