I was impressed with the effort - finding a bale that size, it even looks
like there is no trunk lid, so it could be sitting there.

The car in the original photo had a trunk lid. I just totally
covered it with the hay. And I scaled the hay bale to appear to
my eye to be about

Heh. Sort of like the attached image?

The color's right, but the hay bale isn't - these were the smaller
rectangular bales. He stopped using the 240D when he started getting the hay
baled in the big round ones like in the photo.

Okay, it is pretty horrible. But not bad for 20 minutes editing

It took me longer to hunt up a photo of a hay bale than it did
to GIMP* the image.
Note that the rear suspension looks loaded?

May/June issue of the Star has an article about searching for the
perfect Diesel. It turned out to be a 123 300D That is a hard to
beat model, but I'd still pick an SDL as the best Diesel, with the 87
TD and 87 300D as contenders.

In my book the W123 300TD wagon wins hand down. Fun to drive,
economical, easy to work on, and highly practical.

I started my search with a '70 220D, moved up to the '76 300D, then a '81

bought Snook's '90 300D 2.5T, and quickly decided that it is the ultimate

I would probably pick the 90 to 93 300d.

Oops Didn't intentionally omit the 123 TD. But Andrew, you are a
bit prejudiced huh? (nothing wrong with that!) I always, and still
want a 240D 3.0 turbo or 240D 2.5 turbo with a 5 speed. The 123 and
124 both have strengths and weaknesses. Suspension is nicer in the
124, but the 123 is
I'd love to find a mid '90s 124 coupe and drop a 2.5 or 3.0 diesel in
and Fin-style intercool it

Does the coupe have a lower Cd than the sedan?
I was surprised to learn that the sedan was comparable to a W201 EVO I.

My vote is for the 1980 300SD. Mine has around 415,000 miles and still is
almost 100% original. It was the last year of the 116 body (remember metal
before all the plastic on the 126 and later models). It's easy to work on, lots
of engine compartment room, no EGR, and the only big weakness was
Well, Actually I think the quest was for a really nice 123 300D, but
I only quoted the title.
