W210 Fans...You and Bill Murray got something in common
A 2000 is a W210 right??
Article #1
Last Wednesday, a mere two weeks before Groundhog Day, actor Bill Murray stopped in Roanoke, seeking minor repairs to his black 2000 Mercedes E55. Befriended by the folks at the Mercedes-Benz dealership, they went out for drinks at Four Nineteen West in Roanoke County....

Bill Murray Entertains During Va. Pit Stop
Associated Press
ROANOKE, Va. - Bill Murray posed with a bawling baby, yucked it up with a gravedigger and sipped bourbon with locals after the actor stopped to repair his Mercedes-Benz.
Murray declined, however, to reveal the contents of his mysterious whisper to Scarlett Johansson at the end of the movie "Lost in Translation." Besides, he said, the speculation over what he said was likely more interesting.
Murray found himself in this southwestern Virginia city on Wednesday after he tossed an apple core out the window of his black 2000 Mercedes and ran into a curb, witnesses told The Roanoke Times.
Murray drove to the Roanoke Mercedes-Benz and Volvo dealership to have his alignment fixed and for other repairs.
He waited 20 minutes before he walked up to startled manager Jeff Webb.
"Bill Murray," Webb said, trying not to appear star-struck. "What in the world are you doing here?"
Technician Jay Jones fixed Murray's Mercedes and took up his offer of a drink. His wife didn't buy that.
"Yeah right," she said. "Just be home for dinner."
Gravedigger Caleb Rossi ask
ed Murray to sign a bootleg copy of "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" that he'd bought for $4 during a trip to New York.
"If you do this, this is in it for you," said Rossi, 25, displaying a 2000-01 Botetourt Chamber of Commerce plaque he'd snagged from the trash. Rossi got his autograph.
No one seems to know for sure where Murray was headed. He told the locals he finds driving to be a stress reliever and that he prefers to travel at night and sleep during the day.

Ran into him in Paris many years ago ('85??) near Le Musée National du Moyen Âge (Cluny) trying to blend in. I said "Hi Mr. Murray" and he laughed.
