OT: my new W201 190E 1.8
Yes! I found a wonderful W201 1.8E in time warp condition. One family onwer and the last keeper as fastidious in regards to preventative maintenance as myself: he kept a record of every EURO he put in the car.
Despite being the entry model, it's got aircon and ABS. I changed the oil, the cooling fluid and the spark plugs today and fitted a newer Becker/Mercedes radio-cassette:
I am very glad to finally own a Mercedes that my wife does not particularly like: Thus she will not take it away from me as she always does!

I had a 190e silver with the amg wheels and little spoiler , I loved that car, to this day I should never have sold it!

i miss my 190 terribly, dont get me wrong, i love my new car, but there was just something trusty about Murray the 190! i had the opposite problem though, the misses is scared of the new one but loved driving Murray (looked quite funny seeing a young girl driving it too) so she had him at every opportunity!
enjoy every mile of it, my mates all said how smooth it was when they got in!

I took tony baskill out in mine once, now here's a man who has had s class and the like all his life, and yet he loved the ride of my 190.
we gave mine to my uncle to sell and he's kept it for himself, he loves driving it!

I have never seen such a well put together piece of kit before: everything seems as if it had left the factory yesterday.
