[W124] W124list Digest, Vol 27, Issue 1

[Robert Archigian]

Apples to apples not apples to starships
The 300 124s are a most reliable machine and reasonable to maintain.
Not too much glitter there.
And as far as comparing it to a 320euro, been there done that and it doesn't 
cut the muster unless really tuned.
I must admit sheepshly that I have had mine on I87 to 138mpf for a good run, 
but you can't hardlyfind a stretch in NY to do that any longer.

Robin,
The euro E320 will blow the doors off of a  US Sportline.

The drive train has minor mods and most of it is trim and suspension.

Take a look at what a 500E is and you will know what steroids can do to a E 
class.

And I disagree, Nothing is better than a 500E going down I-80 in Wyoming 
when there was no speed limit.  The 500E could surpass 155 MPH! maybe your 
wife would like a ride? |:-{)= <---  ducking and running

Wish I was in the USA

I'd like to see how my 1993 E320 pillarless coupe would match up to
your beast on the freeway!

The early 90's in my opinion were the last truly golden years for MB
cars

Keep on rollin'!

Robin in rainy London UK

ps last time I drove in the good ole US of A I went coast to coast in a
Mercury Cougar with a 351 Cleveland engine

Nothing beats roaring across death valley on an old V8 with my girl in
the passenger seat!
