My work reallocated me and subsequently my daily commute has increased from 30km to 80km. Finally some highway driving. I imagine it’ll be more economical to drive on the highway than constant urban driving!
I noticed in Chris Handsomes latest show, he has no real issue making fun of the predators to their face or making jokes at their expense.
Are there any compilations of this? I don’t want to watch the ones from the NBC era where he had to be more subtle.
Infact I don’t even want these compilations anymore. I just wanna get to the beach
It genuienly makes for some great lighting, too bad that every server I join is always at midnight. :(
Let's see your sunrise photos!
Hi all.
I bought a new gauge cluster for my car today because I want an economy gauge in it.
It’s a 200E M111.940 from 1993. Mopf 1.5.
From my understanding, the economy gauge was only on prefacelifts. My car has an SRS light, whereas my new cluster has an RS light. Is this going to cause any issues for me?
I also know that the gear change indicators on the speedometer are gonna be differently positioned. The redline and max speed indicator are the same as my car however.
Also, is there anything I should keep note of and be careful of when I go to install it?
I’m also going to keep my old cluster for obvious reasons. Incase this doesn’t work out the way I want it to.
Meddl Loide.
My W124s odometer and trip meter stopped functioning today. Yesterday, i had noticed the trip meter got stuck between kms and i reset it and it moved perfectly fine afterwards.
Today, I drove the car and noticed it didn’t move again. So I pressed it again, but this time the trip meter ceased moving altogether.
I googled a little and apparently there’s a small green cog that loses alignment and disabled the trip and odometer. How often is this the case?
And what else could be causing this?
If you have any further questions to help me diagnose, id be happy to answer. :)
Beides Porsche! Wenn Mann nicht genau hinguckt…
Probably my best and favourite purchase in the game. I wish I hadn't missed the Halloween event, I would've loved the Belvedere version of this.
Valve won’t close even with me pushing against it. Then it closes when i lightly touch it ontop.
The car has a tendency to idle high randomly. This is a video i filmed after i finally got it to do this outside of traffic. What gives?!
Das muss man bewusst machen.
With the passing of my father in law, he left this house out in Johnson Valley to my wife. My wife is unsure if we want to keep this place, it is well maintained and a relatively good vacation spot, but we don't come by here often enough to warrant the upkeep.
I've spent the last few days sorting out all the stuff on the property, I still have some cars to get rid of and some old furniture and scrap that need cleaning out. Overall, we're quite conflicted on what to do with the place.
My FIL had a clunkers-for-cash business back in the day, and he kept quite a few cars that he never did anything with. Getting rid of these has been a nightmare. Especially because a large portion of these cars were just parted out and left to sit. Frustrating.
Before I go to Mercedes directly and spend my entire life savings on three pieces of plastic, is there any other reputable manufacturer who makes this type of spoiler? I wanna put one on my 200E.
I live in Germany.
I originally wanted a Lorinser style one, but I can't get find any that TÜV will certify, and also I don't wanna drill holes in my bootlid. Is there any manufacturer who makes the 3pc style one with TÜV-approved documentation?
Thanks in advance. :)
Hello!
I wanna install a spoiler on to my 200E. I don’t like the oem “hammer” style ducktail and want something more like the spoiler Hella made back in the 1990s.
I live in Germany and subsequently the spoiler also needs to be acceptable by TUV standards. My car hasn’t got historical plates.
The spoilers ive looked at do not come with any form of EG or ECC(?) certificate.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I’d love some feedback and suggestions on what to do and where to look.
Nur meinen Konservativen-Wurst-Blinker wollte er nicht abnehmen. Das fand ich nicht so schön.
Greetings from our dear friend in Poland, who owns one of the former Firwood Interceptor Bluebucks!
The car was recently repaired after some age related breakdowns, seen above at a local car show. The car might be sold soon, though we all hope it doesn't come to that. :)
I wanna upgrade it but to do that I gotta race it. When I race it, it just doesn’t accelerate. It crawls along at 1mph. Doing a burnout makes it accelerate but it decelerates immediately.
I can’t tune the gearing on it either. What do I do?
Ich würd einiges tun für einen Manta B1/2. Alles außer arbeiten.
Es is Sonntag, falls einer denkt das ich jemanden den Parkplatz entnehme.
Hello.
I am selling my 1972 Corris Rivett SLX with the rare and desirable performance spec.
This car was professionally restored in my driveway in January of 1999 by me, and has been garagekept at some point in its life, probably maybe.
The car was bought as a bare shell for 500MK and was restored with original Corris parts. It has subsequently also been getting serviced at a Corris dealership between 1999 and now. I have the service history documented in the booklet that originally came with the car. The car was built in Rheine, Germany. Making it a very well-built example.
It features the high performance NE spec 2L 4cyl engine, exhaust, aswell as the numbers matching stiffened standard suspension with 14in SLX rims. The power brakes work extremely well and have been the reason why this car has kissed so many trees before.
Paint was done by Fleetaris Repair Shop originally back in 1999, however the car has also been resprayed in 2004, 2013 and 2022 after several mishaps with some liquor and some paint cans. I have receipts for all of these. I also have the liquor bottles that caused the incidents.
The numbers all match on the car and it has subsequently gotten its historical plates on, though I do also have the original non-historic plates from when the car was still unfinished and being driven around as a regular daily driver back in the '90s.
No visible rust on the car, vinyl roof is all original and shows no sign of wear or tear. No, I will not drive to a garage for you to put it on a lift and check underneath. This car has NEVER had any welding work done to it!
Mileage is not relevant, you are buying an old car. The odometer doesn't work anyways, so don't bother checking.
I recently changed the water pump and also rewired parts of the interior. Some further wiring work is required. Nothing too difficult for a skilled mechanic or hobbyist.
The car runs and drives, albeit it has problems idling and backfires violently. It stalls frequently when driving off aswell. Gearbox is original and has never been off the car after it was restored.
This car is an honest classic that can serve as a great project car or garagepiece for a dedicated Corris enthusiast. I daily drove this car from 1999 up until 2024, all year round in all weather conditions. I will not sell it to banger racers or tuners.
Price is 19,500€ firm. Will not trade and will not be lowballed. Lowballers get blocked. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
For those that may remember;
I made a post a while ago about the cooling system for this car because i was going to the Netherlands.
The fan clutch was dead. The car made it to the Netherlands and back with no proper cooling system. It survived.
New fan clutch was installed today due to an impending heatwave. I flew too close to the sun last week with the broken fan clutch.
