Re: SPOTTED TODAY Cont'd thread 4

This was from about a month or two ago. Mercedes 280SLC Coupe (C107). You don't see these everyday. In fact you don't see them at all. They're so rare and one of the cars from Mercedes' everyone has forgotten about in favor of the R107 SL. I love these things. I think they look pimp.

Notice how the owner obviously doesn't give a shit and treats it like a b*tch (parking against the wall).

Re: SPOTTED TODAY Cont'd thread 4

I saw a ML 63 AMG today, but I see this car nearly everyday - I will take some photos soon.
Then I saw an absolutely dream car...not comparable to the Maybach 62 I saw some month ago!! This time I was STUNNED - I couldn't even take a photo. I saw an Alpina B3 Biturbo Coupé in Alpina green - and it looked exactly like the one, that was shown on the IAA!!!
I would prefer this car over M3, C 63 AMG and RS4 - I was absolutely beautiful, stunning, just looked perfect...

Re: SPOTTED TODAY Cont'd thread 4

Did the wipers get damaged from the brush? Did you destroy that red Fiat with Ferrari badges on it?

Re: SPOTTED TODAY Cont'd thread 4

Hi Christian!! I have a little question!
For what is the "blue" adjuster between the ventilation vents in the middle?! Our E-Class doesn't have such an adjuster. Is it a special option of the Thermotronic or is it unnecessary so that they didn't sheet it on the newer E-Classes?

We never had problems with the brushes of those carwashs.

I didn't operate the wipers when the brushes were cleaning the window. I let them fly across the windshield prior to that to get them cleaned up a bit.

The "blue" adjuster between the vents disappeared from the 04 model year, it isn't a special option for the Thermotronic. MB also changed the vent pattern above the middle vents.

Hi,

I have no clue to be honest, I never touch it. It's possible that it has something to do with the Klimaautomatik but what exactly I have no idea.
