Found a twin in Holland!
I spent a week taking in the sights in the Neatherands, where every taxi seems to be a W212. There were very few 213s to be seen. The very first one I did see was while strolling through downtown Hoorn. An E300 with the same matte paint, panorama roof and AMG 20 rims as my 43! The guy has stoped at a bakery so I thanked him for bringing my car all the way from the US, we had a good laugh. Holland has changed a lot in 30 years, mostly for the better, wonderful trip. However, one thing to watch for, some of the nicest people in the world become some of the biggest a-holes when riding a bicycle, particularly in Amsterdam, watch your step!

I was just in the UK last week and was shocked at how many W212 and W213s were around. Many W212s and quite a few W213s.
What I didn't see was a single "Luxury" as we call it in the US, or "Exclusive" trim as I believe it's called in the UK. I also don't recall seeing any W212/W213 with Distronic over there either. Not even one in central London, which surprised me -- I'd want Distronic if I was stuck driving in London traffic myself.
I also laughed when I read your comment on the cyclists -- it seems they're no different in the US than over there.
