    @rickb3288منذ 3 سنوات Awesome video of what is needed . the refub of a great vehicle, looking great, and ready to add another 100K miles to the odometer. It's not "vintage" id="hidden19" class="buttons"> per se, but you are still keeping it out of the landfill and a premature death.
    I know you might still be waiting on parts, but look forward to a CL65 update soon. We love watching you perform magic with these things.

    Regarding the E55 - my dad had a 280CDI from 2005, one of the best looking modern Mercs imho. Don't like the new ones all that much, but the W211 with those curves - love it! Glad to see an AMG saved for the future and for it to actualy be driven!
