You are right. I tried searching around and only found examples with a conventional handbrake instead of Mercedes' quirky extra pedal.

Wait... wouldn't some Mercedes 190 2.3-16 have four pedals rather than three? If they were manual only and had the foot-operated parking brake, that is. (I've had four-pedal W202 and W203 but never a W201. I assume that at least some were made with a conventional handbrake...)

It's still not big enough; still too economical and too easy to park. I need a Zetros:

A lap of the M25 - the orbital motorway around London. Heavy congestion for about 16 hours per day, so you'll need to do it at night. And, err, don't break any laws.

No lease; I don't like borrowing money to buy cars, or paying in instalments.

Yeah, fuck those huddled masses yearning to breathe free. They should be shot or, preferably, detained without trial and tortured for a few years. That's what "enemy combatant" means, right?

I love American cars. And as soon as Ford (or GM or whoever the third one is) figure out how to make something better than my S-class, I'll probably buy one.

50% of the BBC - especially the high-profile political stuff - is fraught with hand-wringing guilt about "What if somebody thinks we're biased? We have to produce something that really skewers that viewpoint".

No Unimog?

Even a dip at the front of the door is hardly an F-150 innovation - shapes like that are extremely common among heavy trucks.

If I lived in Morecambe, I'd try to get out of there as quickly as possible, too. He has my sympathies.

Its a two-lane road. The surface has been relaid in three strips, so I can understand how somebody on the internet might assume three lanes, but suicide lanes are increasingly rare in the UK and Lancashire council certainly isn't building new ones on rural A-roads. Here's the 1:03 part on Google Streetview:

Which bit has 3 lanes?

Not a convertible; a pickup. Huayramino. I knew it.

That's it. Every time some 1980s European car appears on NPoCP for $2000 or $3000 or $4000, all you North Americans salivate over it and say "Nice price! These are so rare and quirky!". Meanwhile, in Europe, they're ubiquitous and super-cheap.

What did farriers, grooms, and carters do, when we replaced horse-drawn transport with something much more efficient? We simply don't have farriers and carters any more; people have been freed up to do other more useful jobs.

The luddite fallacy is alive and well, I see.

No. Pretty car; terrible price.

Big trucks usually maintain steady speeds for long periods. This is the sweet spot for a simple engine with a big tank of diesel. Using the diesel engine to drive an electric motor in series, under steady load, is going to reduce efficiency rather than increase it.
