Techno Classica Essen?

I'll admit that when I saw her immediate reaction of gratitude I welled up a bit myself. The cop has such an "aww shucks ma'am" look in response. A nice change of pace compared to the more recent cop stories we've all been reading. Good luck to both of these folks in the future.

Good to see you again Fintail! The difference between a 220S and a 220SE is the carb (220S) vs mechanical fuel injection (220SE) right? Later cars like you and I have are informally 220SEb with the "b" there to differentiate between these Ponton models and our Fintails tho I never really see the small "b" used…

A Series II was my second car growing up in the 80's (I traded my first car, a '57 Cadillac for it) and some of you may recall my own memories of this beast: http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/the-worst-car-…

I definitely support what you're saying, even tho I myself do not have the same will power. If we all lived like this, using what we *need* then we could so easily cure many of life's challenges like starvation, overgrazing, obesity... good for you and your lady!

Others have already said that this was actually done in coordination with Paul Bracq (the designed of the 600, the W111 coupe, the 635csi, etc.) but I'd like to throw in that it surely isn't "stealing needed parts away from a genuine vintage restoration" since this was built and I believe is still owned Karl…

Courteous reply to someone I also generally tend to admire on here but who maybe went a bit off this time. You can't legitimately find fault with someone who is as compassionate about you and saved a life, good on you my friend. I wish you and your little buddy a lifetime of fun and memories. Give him a pat on the…

Not much to add aside from the fact that Jay certainly raised awareness for me about the Sultan's home country issues and, as someone who really enjoyed dining at the Beverly Hills Hotel regularly when I lived in LA and on each of my return visits, I can say that I not only stopped going there myself but a good number…

People may think the Subaru Forester is the official car of Portland, OR but in reality it has to be the Mercedes of the 1960's-80's with plenty of W123s of course. We have the oldest MB dealership in the country as well as several long-time indie repair shops to keep all the cars bought over those decades running, my…

You're hitting all my sweet spots. First the Horch, then this Facel Vega, add in an Iso Grifo and you nailed my Top Three!

Well that was stupid, you should be locked up, how dare you endanger others' lives?

"Mitzvah tank"? (Where are my Manhattanites?)

Well now that you have issued that disclaimer, let's hear 'em! :)

There's actually a bit more to it but as I was writing I realized, "hmmm, this would make one hell of an Oppo post." Look for that soon! "My Life as a High School Student in a Vice Presidential Motorcade"

Oh yeah, things are great here in the "Cancer Mom PR Department" but we do have an opening coming up in the "Self-loathing Dick Commenter Department" for our social media accounts if you're available.
