What do you drive besides your W140?

My daily driver: 2005 Acura RL 3.5 AWD



My 2002 Collectors Edition Trans Am WS6 Convertible:



My 1993 Cadillac Sixty Special Ultra:



My 1992 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham



My 1982 Buick Park Avenue



My 1975 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 Limousine



My 1970 Buick Electra 225 Convertible with 455-4




I just ordered a 2006 Z06 2LZ Lemans Blue, it should arrive mid-December.. so I will be giving the Acura to my oldest son who just started his residency.

Thanks for looking and I look forward to seeing what my fellow w140 enthusiasts take interest in.

The one on the right. It is a lot more fun to drive than the W140 but doesn't even come close to the grand feeling of the W140.

Hi leloz
My W140 has been my daily driver for a long time , because I just love to be in the car.
As my Baby is " under construction" for the last months I use my other cars.
I use a SEAT Altea as a daily driver now , and I also have an 1996 Audi A8 3.7 Quattro.
Beside them I got a Toyota HIACE Van 2.4 Diesel and an OPEL/ Vauxhall Astra Van which are used for transporting workers.
I travel a lot in Europe , because with some of my friends we import used cars from Western Europe, and I'm driving at least 2000 miles every week in different cars .
I drove almost every car that can be bought in Europe(Except the Exotics e.g : Ferraris, Bentleys ... )
BUT! W140 Rules!!
Post Pics soon.
Dennis

Leloz!
I love your classic American Cars!!
I always loved the car scenes on " The Streets of San Francisco".
They are very hard to find here.

W140 was, and still is, a daily driver. However, also had an Acura TL Type S, Grand Cherokee Limited, Nissan 240SX, old Miata as other means of transportation. Funny though, I actually enjoy driving the 240SX the most.

My 97 S-320 is my daily driver, here are my other drivers for nice days.

1970 GS 455 Convertible, 1970 GSX Stage 1 4 speed. and 1969 GS 400 Convertible. Nothing like the power of a big block!

Beautiful Buicks and a immaculate S320!! That is quite a collection you have there. I think I have seen you on v8buicks.com

I am hoping to have my '70 Electra 225 Convertible with the 455 ready for show this coming spring

Thanks. They are the Bright Silver finish AMG 220 5 spoke wheels found on the w220 S55 up to 2002. The front are 18X8.5 and the rears are 18X9.5, ~2 inch lip on the rear wheels. I bought mine from my MB dealership, they were brand new factory take-offs, I paid around $2500 with tires

I guess that is what mine are called, but I have no idea, I just like them. they are also 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5. I bought the rims used ( from this board or another Mercedes board, I can't remember) and then bought new tires. I think the rims were around $500 and the tires about $900 - $1000, so about $1,500 total. But Leloz's are nicer, as his were new!
