Okay, problem fixed. This is for Mozilla Firefox users:

1. Download the Ad-Block Plus Application
2. Open the R129 Photo Thread
3. While the page is open, go to the Ad-Block Plus tab in the top right corner and select Preferences.
4. Click on the add filter tab.
5. Select anything that says web.mac.com, then save changes.

And those annoying boxes are now gone!

Where did you get that steering wheel with the trim only under the top of the grip?

And did you have to paint it black yourself or did it come like that?

Cool

I am new in this thread and the R129 pictures look great.. It shows that the owners are really proud of their R129 toys, w/some really exotic modification.. I am hesitant to post the picture of my 91' 300 SL I bought couple of months ago with 69K on the clock.. It's the original condition except for the added spoiler and center caps replaced.. ..

My wife and son drives my 99' SLK 230 Compressor..
