new 190 2.3 cossie owner here....

Will probably be in lots asking more than my share of daft questions from here on....

just purchased a 190 off pistonheads, admit I bought it blind over the blower because it was dirty cheap...some of you may have seen the ad on pistonheads...

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1082939.htm

I actually live in Amsterdam so didn't have a chance t go look at it but am a bit of a car hoarder and unable to resist buying cheap old cars.... currently have a 95 bmw 740i, a 95 bmw 518touring, two skylines (r34 gtt, R33 GTR - wrecked) and just recently had a rather pretty red e46 m3 stolen from me here after 2 weeks of ownership....very distressing.....

the 740 is currently my daily driver, bought it at christmas for 800 quid, in six months it's only cost me a sert of brake pads and has covered over 7k miles now...wouldnt be so practical in the UK but here where everywhere is flat it's quite reasonable to drive!

anyway...the merc.....according to the ad it's been sat in a garage since 06, and needs a bit of love... depending on the state it's in under the bodykit, it will either be restored back to mint, or if it turns out to be a bit of a dog it's going to get stripped, caged and taken to the ring for some fun (only two hours for me by car so my regualr fun place)
