I like steel bikes and I cannot lie..

Oxford
As a teenager I had a paper round and if the owner was a lad short we would end up doing two routes and the second would be the big houses around Penn driving from house to house in a 500sl! And I got paid double!
Paid for the auto express magazine!!

Nice - although I hate to think what sort of fuel economy that returned!
 
And so did she:


One also features in her excellent song 'My Church' (got to listen to the couplets in it!!)

I still fancy one of the ‘W123’ estates
The 80’s models with the lovely thin chrome roof-rails, & colour-matched hubcaps

Or, a UniMog….


Daughter has an A-Class ‘AMG Line’(?), that has absolutely no appeal for me

There's actually a red one, not too far from me, but I think if the doors were opened, it'd sag................
One of these please, as a diesel/manual

The owner of the company, I worked for in Leeds, between '86 & '97, had 2 M-B's (amongst his other cars), a 560 coupe, & 500SL 'drop-top'
Later, he also had (from memory) an A-M 'Virage', DB7, Ferrari F355 (I think that was the one??? - the 'Goldeneye' car)

Daughter is p/x-ing it, for a new car, possibly arriving at the end of the month
Curiously, when she wanted it/got it, it was a 'sliced bread' car for her

On the back of looking at a website, at a 'CSK', I saw this
It's rather nice, but...... it's wrong colour for me, and not a diesel/manual
(still the only modern M-B, barring a UniMog, that I'd want)
