So, I told some of you forum members I would upload this for you all to see. I finally found time and ripped the scenes from each episode and uploaded it to YouTube for all of your viewing pleasures. lol

A little info...

"Mercedes got the bends"



Vicki Butler-Henderson (From Fifth Gear) puts an old cliché to an extreme test. Are old Mercedes really the best cars ever built? Using a baseball bat, an accident, a four foot deep flood and a monster truck, she dishes out some serious punishment to a poor old Merc. Will it still work when she's finished with it? You may be surprised!

Here are the ripped videos I uploaded to YouTube. There are four parts, but watch them in order obviously!

Part One:

Let me know if everything works fine. Enjoy. Post here about the videos and what not.

I've always said...They built this car in 1986?!! The w124 was always ahead of it's time and mine still runs like a champ. The other day i was next to a 1998 honda accord and the valves where clicking and my 20 year old engine was still smooth..

She said sorry a bunch of times because she feels the w124 love!!

Great Post Chris!..

CDP

Makes you appreciate the W124 and what you drive so much more!

No wonder my car still runs with a blown head gasket. LOL jk

YNVDIZW124

NorCal124

Haha. Finally, someone who agrees with me! I guess they just don't make MBs like they use to.

Awesome videos,
I am a youtube member, and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, link are giving me some trouble. "This is a private video. If you have been sent this video, please make sure you accept the sender's friend request." any suggestions? I just watched the video yesterday but not today.

tinyboytim

but incredibly painful to watch. vicky makes up for it - a little, however.

neanderthal

VBH certainly makes it a lot more bearable.
