W115, W123, S203 in Sweden
Hello!
My name is Mattias Johansson (one letter too long for this forum, hence the misspelling on my username
), I am 29 years old and live in Kalix northern Sweden (on the east coast, only a few kilometers from the finnish border, and also only a few kilometers from the arctic circle.... 
).
I've had a love for Mercedes cars since I was very much too young to drive one myself, and even if I've had some other cars in my life, I have a very hard time to see a driveway without the three pointed star ever in my future....
This is my current vehicles
To the left - 1985 230E W123, has been in the family since it was almost new, daily driven by me from 2009-2014, got some engine related troubles and was temporary replaced by a Volvo 740 as a daily last year. I got it fixed and sold the Volvo this winter, but very soon I got a good deal the 2001 C180 S203 on the right.
Since the weather can be quite harsh on the cars here in the wintertime, I thought it made more sense to use the C180 as a daily instead, so I'm going to do some restoration work on the 230E and keep it as something more like an enthusiast vehicle
I've also got this:
1973 220D W115. Going to the scrapyard as soon as I get the time to pick all the useable parts from it.....
