Re: [MBZ] And you thought we where all normal over here
Hendrik -- Speaking of AMG ... I live in a small rural Iowa town in the midst of the agricultural region ( http://www.jeffersoniowa.com/). There is a law firm across the street from my office and we occasionally see an M-Class Benz or a Lexus SUV parked there, driven in from the big city by an attorney. We do have a late model E320 and a G-class here in town but both are owned by an old fart retired farmer and his wife. I have a 240D and our auditor drives a 10 year old (?) C-class gasser. That is it for our local Benz community. Last Thursday afternoon, I looked out our office window and saw what I think was a late 70s or early 80s S-Class (might have been an E-Class, couldn't swear in a court of law). A very nice bronze-brown in color. Had this wee tit of a spoiler on the back of the trunk. Custom wheels (but very nice, discrete sort of custom wheels) on what seemed to be factory size tires. I did not notice any sort of spoiler in the front but I didn't have a good look at the front from my angle. I wandered across the road to see what manner of beast this might be. The trunk emblem was not much help, for it said only AMG. The more I looked at the car the more it looked to deserve a speeding ticket just sitting there parked. It was either a W124 or a W126 -- I don't have enough experience to tell between the two unless I have a tape measure. I was in absolute lust. I asked our administrative assistant to watch to see who was driving it and what building he left. As luck would have it, the car disappeared while she took a run to the loo. I went to the law office to ask who might own the car and they gave me blank stares -- no one had been in and out all morning. The only other shop there is a barber. Perhaps someone popped in from out of town for a haircut? D.
