I drive a Merc cos I'm a posh cunt :P
(1989 W124)

It's slow as a snail but it's fucking lovely, my pride and joy. Stylish motoring and it only cost me £1100. It's an absolute masterclass in engineering, I love working on it. One of the last well built Benzes.

The parts are an arm and a leg even from a breaker though :(

(just spent £90 on a s/h duo valve for the heating matrix. MB wanted £210 for it new!!)

Is that on your Marina badger?

Edit: on the subject of cars, we had a twat of a rep turn up in an Awful Romeo (Brera S) last week, looks absolutely stunning but I said to someone while we were having a fag I'd never have one because they're built by Italians, and therefore shit.

An hour later when he left it wouldn't start at all. Nothing even lighting up on the dash. Tried and failed to jump it. The RAC couldn't even figure it out, he had to get taken to an Alfa dealer on a lorry. It was less than six months old!

I did laugh quite a lot, cos he was a posey bastard.
