New Playmate

My 250SL has a new playmate on the way.

The first MB car I bought was a 1956 190SL back in Oct. 1977.  Not an easy car to restore back then.

Already an member of the 190 forum. I cannot image trying to restore a car a complex as a  W121 without the internet and these hugely valuable forums.
Dr Benz, that must have been a real challenge.
I restored a '30 Austin Seven, and a 23 Chev Tourer back in the pre-internet days but have little recollection of how I did it. Small clubs of local enthusiasts where the only resource bad then.

We are blessed with so many wonderful resources now days.

On last count, I am a member 13 forums.

I am sure other are involved in many more. Would make in interesting thread.

I was 22 when I bought that car and it took me over 4 years to get it back on the road. I had few mechanical car skills, no one to ask questions, and a very rough and rusty car. If it were not for the help I received from Joe A. that car would never have seen the road and I'm sure I wouldn't be here right now.

 Funny how small interconnecting decisions put you in places that you would never expect.

I'm with Naj! I read only two, including this one (the other is for my Land Rover) and together they're a pair of time thieves. I couldn't imagine having to read more. (Although I'd love the excuse so to do).
