Re: [MBZ] Local 1970 220 doing well on BAT

My W115 diesel (manual transmission) was eminently drivable! _No_ complaints about acceleration, etc. And, a reliable 30+ MPG. Never took a highway trip, so I don't know if it could have beat that. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list

yeah, don't rent a car at a kollyfonia airport.   They add on $150 a week in extra charges, (taxes and environmental payments, and medical and social services for illegal aliens charges )   Rent from the local toada stealer.  you'll save ~$30 a day or ~150 a week.   The toada stealer sent

I think there’s something special about these plain janes cars. Simple, nothing to do but enjoy the suspension, interior quality, feeling of the gearshift, sound of the engine... and enjoy the idea of a simple, slow, low option car built with exceptional quality that can continue running for 50

Hard to say. You can’t get much more basic and “blah” than a W114 with nothing on it. Only thing that would have detracted more would be if it had been a diesel. I wouldn’t mind a diesel, but I believe a lot of people think they’re real slugs and unsafe on modern roads - like a 240D! Not a lot
