Title: my new toy W124 500E
Post by: johnnyw116 on 22 November 2008, 07:19 PM
since a week my new toy is an 1991 W124 500E with no emission controls and the car is amazing for a 1991 mercedes !   
its an wolf in sheeps clothing , here in holland the W124 was verry much used as an taxi and still they drive as a taxi with it overhere so in the daily traffic the 500E doesnt atract attention unless a mercedes enthousiast they see directly its an special W124 but most people dont see this and thats what i love about the car , yesterday some guy in a brand new alfa wanted to race me this was funny i faked that he was just a litllebit faster as i am so we keeped next to each other and than i really accelerated and the alfa vanished in the rearview mirror double fun for me becouse i hate alfa  ;D ]

the 500e is one of the top 10 benzes of all time...excellent pickup jonny - did you steal it? ;)
those flared wheel arches look awesome...if only they made them with the steering wheel on the correct side

Excellent purchase.  Why do you hate Alfa Romeo's though?  I might be a bit biased since a own quite a few of each marque.  ;)

NIce to hid the power of your car, but weren't all the Taxis a Beige / Cream colour?

Black would certainly suggest that this was NO taxi!

in holland the taxis have nice metalic colors and also in black but the 500E never was used as an taxi we use only diesels for taxi only the W124 models remind people as an taxi here in holland
