[W126 Coupe] MBCOUPES Digest, Vol 86, Issue 15

[Michael Clare]

Was 'Cascade' in town?


"I didn't talk to the owners of the SECs too much.  They actually were a bit
stand-offish so other than some initial conversation I didn't engage them in
depth about the cars.  The AMG sticker on the black car put me off a bit
too, because I really didn't see anything "AMG-ish" on or about the car!!

I think these parking sensor systems are available on the aftermarket so if
the install is desired, it's entirely possible on an SEC.  Personally though
given the drilling of the bumper that would be required, I wouldn't make
this mod. I'm sure it's a "nice to have" type of deal but in real life I
probably only parallel park maybe 5% of all parking that I do, so as a
proximity sensor it wouldn't be that handy.  Most slots here in my area of
Houston are pull-in slots where there is generally ample room in front and
back of the cars (most folks here drive SUVs also, so the parking places
tend to be larger than other locales).

Cheers,
Gerry"
