Play the sympathy card, or the "All the cool kids have these now" card. One of those will work LOL

Congrats mark too.    Your doing something you want to which is great. 

I wanted to become a mechanic whilst at school.  My folks talked me out of it saying the way computers are (late eighties), there'll be no need for mechanics in the future.

Congrats Mark!

And good luck getting your car, I'm sure you will get a W116 one way or another

well done in getting in mark to the skool.
the pic of a similar condition merc to your uncles looks clean compared to mine.
its been standing in a garage for 3 years and is covered in dust.
which proves one thing, we have more dust in africa than ion any part of the world.except maybe oz, who also have loads of flies, more than us, but then again, the middle of africa has trillions of these blighters landing on your lips and eyes.
good luck with your new edukashun.
aim for one thing
have the best merc workshop out giving the best service and you will lead a good life
