And yes, LCB is correct about the 190E/W201 being the predecesor to the C-Class/W202. The W201 was built from 1982 to 1993, also with coming with different variations of options and engine sizes.
BTW, the car in my signature is my W124/1993 300E-2.8ltr. I just jumped forums to see some of the rides that W201 owners have. I noticed that there wasnt a pic thread and decided to try and make one and hopefully make it "Sticky" if any of the moderators noticed.
I think to be a sticky it needs to be for alll W201's not just modified but who minds. Sad that everything else has a sticky and this -one of the most collected and cherished of all the classes does not. Maybe worth a PM to the administrator.
