Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Today, I have been mostly drooling over this, by the way. Used to be one near us in mossy green with the spare wheel up the back. Awesome :notworthy:

Can you imagine the picture? A rainy day at the cemetary, and the Caddi creeps alon the narow paved track, the engine growling on a doomy bass, boiling the water of the pavement, blowing steam, fog rising from the hood..
Rawr.. That's an Idea I had in a german lesson back at school..
Btw: Thanks, Zeno&Sinnie. I actually allready knew that! ;D

A few years ago I was offered one.. A wreck for 2000DM..
Despite an extended and carefull search on the seller's head, I couldn't find bulletholes.

Probably a bit of an odd thing to say, but American cars, nay make that Caddies, are the only way to head to your grave :notworthy: (unless you can go for a Roller obviously, but the chances you get to see that outside of the UK are rather slim)

Not that that's the sort of thing I'm spending my day on thinking about :lol:

Considering their roadholding, you are probably right.

What's 2000DM like in Euros, about 1000? I've seen they're not too expensive in the UK, remind me to get one if ever I move that way :D

They're built like a DS with bolt-on panels, making most rust superficial, which surely must be a good thing!

And anyway, I plan on being cremated. :von:

It still can't beat This,this or this.

And, Marco: This one with Hijackers and Chrome sidepipes and a nicely beefed up 427er engine is what you ask for, not a shabby Mercedes plastic crap. ;D

All those childhood dreams.. And I can't even afford This.. :|
your favourite is really nice , but i think we should rent for a day my fav. mercedes.....i like it grey

Bah! Naa! No VW. Maybe an original Beetle or a Polo II (The late 80s version that is.)
Maybe a Passat. But only if there is a really cheap offer (Which usually isn't available) and the engine hasn't been f*cked up too badly.
Sweedish ones for me, rear wheel driven, and old please. Or one of those nice rovers.
Kraut cars are way way overated.

:D Yes! A luverly odd vehicle, that.
This one probably still has the two stroke three cylinder engine..
Volvo Amazon, Saab 900 (Nice despite beeng front wheel driven!) the Volvo 164, 244, 262C 7&900 series, And, ugly but not least the 340/360s.. Cheap to get and utterly reliable.
