Transported about 3 tonnes of garden waste to the tip today. Thing is cavernous.

I usually have 3 tonnes of crap that lives permanently in my car

Took the mini to the head of the local mini club. They have about 5 or 6 minis between them. Got the castor, camber and tracking set as it was all miles out. It’s all fully adjustable so after about 4 hours we got it where it needed to be. A step closer to being on the road

How much?

@neddy £720, nothing wild on the mot check, coulple of months left on it, apparently no obvious rust and 110k ish miles. Didn’t go look at it but thought it was worth a risk for that price. Will be using it as a sneaky camper and mover of long things. I also fancy taking a box to the lidl carpark in these nice summer evenings so that will be easy now.

We should sort out a camping trip this summer

Looks good to me! I’ve always liked that shape.

oh for sure

Looks like one of the gator clips rusted off and let in loads of water resulting in the corrosion of the merc driveshaft.


Double checked the replacement and it’s all good , fitted and running .

What a beast

Local guy who used to work at Hemmels (UK’s best Mercedes restoration garage) has set up his own Merc garage called 187 Automotive and is building this absolute MONSTER of a demo car. There is so much that has gone into this it’s ridiculous. Worth a follow if you like Mercs, even if you’re not into modified ones.

When I win the lottery I’ll see him about the wagon upgrade

I’d part money for that. The more i realise just how incredible this era of mercs are the more I’m keeping hold of my w124. They literally don’t make them them that good anymore.
