I was actually interrested in buying an practical and economical second car. My other car is a 1969 VW 1300,
not so keen on driving this in winter a thought that a Mercedes Benz with a Diesel engine would be a great car to fill this
spot. So what i set out to buy was a /8 Mercedes or a W114/W115 car. The reson for this is that I wanted a as new as possible
Merc that was still more than 30 years old. In Norway there is a Veteran age of 30 years on cars. When a car reaches this
age the owner will no longer have to pay the annual road tax and the insurance will be alot cheaper.
I didn't find a /8 to buy but I did find a 1962 190D for sale......
Called the owner and went to see it. Not one of the smartest thing I have ever said but...I did say the words "I'll take
it".
And so the story begins.....
About this blog
Here I'll describe why I started this blog and describe the topics I'm primarily interested in covering in it.

Not very nice but it has a strange feature...color coded dash!! |
This could be a picture of me, my town, or a recent trip I took.
