I did the weekly shop in Tesco yesterday - didn't see another W140 - I did see a couple in a new Merc that clearly had Merc Envy - You know the type? The type that wishes they had the balls for a fire breathing 2 door but took the usual 4 door diesel route instead...

Difficult to get a decent noise out of these without doing full header/exhaust swap. Here's mine with no cats and resonator removed. (pre-warmed) - (but then again it is a 210 with M113 engine) Blimey on a bike!!!!! The Sound of Win. :-)

mundane silver ten a penny budesliga merc! whats different or retro about that! NOTHING there's tons of em in tesco's car park. Great news! Your computery-mouse thingy allows you to click in different places. You can use this feature to choose which bits of the internet you'd like to see. Handily, the threads here on Retro-Rides have titles which make clicking (and not clicking) on threads you like (or don't like) a simple proposition. For instance, you might see a thread that says '1980 Cortina' and, if you like 1980 Cortinas, you can click on it and enjoy the content. On the other hand you see a thread entitled '1998 Mercedes', you can not click on it if you don't like that sort of thing. Incredible. Please feel free to enjoy parts of Retro-Rides, and ignore (not comment on) other bits.

Right peeps, I have a week off work so naturally the thing to do on the 1st day off is to pop over to Black Swan in Wrecclesham and see if they will perform the old Rear Box Delete procedure without A) Screaming about H&S and B) Not trying to talk me out of it!
In other news, Wife is in court this afternoon to state her case against the lying toe rags from Portsmouth Demolition that drove into her stationary car late last year!
Hope to update later..

Good luck to your lady in court Good luck Dan but from what I have heard, you will feel a million dollars in a few weeks. Wasted day in court - The insurance companies settled without informing us! On a more positive note - gonna pick my car up shortly with it's new V8 rumble being rather more audible!

It now sounds AWESOME! Rearmost Resonator box removed and replaced with 2 straight mild steel pipes! I have posted a video on YouTube but having never done so before, I now cannot find it? Does it take like 24hrs or something? Once I find it, I will put up a link - You'll love it
