Mostly due to running costs (road tax and fuel cost are getting crazy overhere in The Netherlands) and the fact the wife is mostly using our car as a daily driver on her own, I've decided to end my 'hobby'.

Besides that, the car had $$$ of upcoming work like annual safety & emissions test, the exhaust getting rotten, new belts and tensioner, brakes, tyres, one new smartkey needed, A/C not working (lines and dryer leaking), etc.
And then the rust was also making me VERY tired. I still find it ridiculous a car like this can suffer from rust so badly. It's a love-hate thing really!

Anyway I will check back here from time to time as my inlaws are keeping their W210 and need my advice at times!

Thanks everyone for a great time helping out eachother, it's been one of the best forums I've been on!!!

This is what we got; a 2011 VW Polo TDI bluemotion.
At least it's German and in the same color...

So long, Käskop! I enjoyed your posts. Give us an update on your "Po-loch"after you've driven it for awhile. I've got a company Golf to drive for a few weeks, and it's convenient and frugal, but the auto trans shifts like an old lady in a '65 Beetle.

Good luck, Lancelot. I've definitely enjoyed sharing information with you!
