Cadillac limo for a wedding couple. The chauffeur told me they stopped because the newly weds wanted to "smoke". Germans...no hope...[8)] You'll even see the bride...not a bad looking girl...on the outside. Inside, it's a different story... [:P] So what Caddy is this? 4.1-l V8 with 115-hp and FWD?






Accident W211 E-Class....


Getting the 5-speed automatic transmission checked / fixed...






Next to ^this^ E-Class, a fully loaded S55 AMG that was getting new brakes because the owner abused them so much on the Autobahn. Mr. Schultz also told me that the owner of this S55 AMG had the 155 mph speed limiter removed! [:o]







Two Chrysler Voyagers from different era. The diesel engine pictured is from the Voyager on the ground...



Abandoned Opel Corsa


Civilian Viano on the left, commercial Viano (called "Vito") on the right....


Manual transmission E270 CDI T-Modell... finding 1st, 2nd and R was a pain.

Check out this Trabant: some Mercedes employee converted it into a "jeep" something. [:bigsmile:]




23" rims on this Cayenne Turbo! [:o]



This Porsche must have been driving so fast, his rear lights and bumper flew off! JD Powers won't be pleased.... [:P]




Was this a Pontiac Bonneville?


Classic trim level E220 CDI estate TAXI...in the last picture, you can see that Classic has NO EXTERIOR CHROME.




Lastly, what kind of Mercedes is this? It was in the Benz showroom in Bad Reichenhall. [:bigsmile:]



Hope you liked them. [:)]

Very nice pictures :)  Was the LR3 the same one that you posted in other threads, that belongs to a restaraunt owner or something?

[Raghavan]

For some reason today the CLS looks really hot and sexy.

[Champ]

[cawimmer430]

God damn piece of shit keyboard. I can't wait until this POS 10 year old machine is replaced. The damn CTRL + C keys work like sh*t which explains why some of the pics are posted double.

Anyway, corrections.

Good memory Dave.

Yea, once I see stuff, I dont usually forget them, if I make a mental note of them.  I have a very good memory, I remember stuff from when I was extremely young.  Its kind of scary.  

[cawimmer430]

I love the CLS too. My favorite CLS shot.

It's kinda the same story here. But I love my friends stuff about long ago and they're like "Oh my God, you still remember that!?"  :P

BTW, what do you know about that BMW 2002ti? I could used some facts only a BMW-fan would know about that car for www.automobear.com.

Sure, no problem :)

It had an inline water cooled 4 cylinder.  It made 120 hp at about 5500 rpm. it had either a 3 speed auto or 4 speed manual. 16,448 units were made 1968-1971.  It could reach a top speed of 150 mph.

[BMWDave]

The 2002ti was the early high performance variation of 2002. The ti designation stood for "touring international" and the most important variation from the standard car was the replacement of the single barrel Solex carb with a pair of Solex twin barrel side draughts. This same engine found it's way into the 2000CS coupe and the 2000ti sedan.

For those that care the only obvious way to tell that the above is a ti rather than the standard '02 is the grill badge barely visible behind the driver's side driving light.

[cawimmer430]

Wow, I'm impressed. Thanks for the info. Now, what can you tell me about that Mercedes 220S Heckflosse?    :P

Oh, you just reminded me.  Check your S Class coupe testdrive thread, I spotted a really rare mercedes (I didnt get a picture but I found pictures of what I think it is that I saw.)  Can you check over there? B)

"The 4 door Heckflosse models were produced from 1959 until 1968, these are also called W110, W111 and W112 by Mercedes-Benz. They were known to the public as 190, 190D, 220, 220S, 220SE, 300 SE and 300SE LWB (Long Wheel Base), after 1965 they were replaced by the 200, 200D, 230 and 230S. The 220 SE was replaced by the 250SE (W108), the 300 SE and SE LWB by the new W108 and W109 300 models.  

The 2 door models were produced from 1961 until 1971, these are also called W111 and W112 by Mercedes-Benz. They were known to the public as 220SE, 250SE, 300 SE, 280SE and 280SE 3,5 Coupי and Convertible. Mercedes didn't really had a suitable successor for the 2 door models, you might mention the SLC models as successor of the 2 door models..


Why the name Heckflosse ?
You might have heard that some cars are known under a nickname. Well, the name Heckflosse, or Fintail in English speaking countries, is just a nickname given to this type of Mercedes. Because these cars show American influences, in this case the little 'fins' on their back (though in comparison with the ones found on the Americans these fins are barely noticeable), people started calling them Heckflossen. It must be said that the name is not officialy given by Mercedes-Benz. The word Heckflosse is simply the German translation of the word Fintail, 'Heck' means 'tail' and 'flosse' means 'fin'

The 2 door models can't really deserve the nickname Heckflosse because the Coupיs and Convertibles lack the prominent 'fins' on the rear but they do share some mechanical elements with their 4 door sedan brothers and sisters so that's why they are welcome here on The Heckflosse Homepage.

The name Heckflosse is mostly used in Germany but also in my own country: the Netherlands.  

Other nicknames include variations on the Fintail name like : the 'Finny generation' or 'Finbacks'. In my own country, the name 'staartvin' is sometimes used to describe these cars. Again here, the name 'staartvin' is just a translation of the name Heckflosse.

I was only kidding about the 220S, but thanks for the info nonetheless.

No problemo  

[280Z Turbo]

The only time I've seen a TR7, was in a junkyard, rotting away.

I asked a friend about that car and he told me it was another unreliable, british POS. He said the letters stood for "Try #7".

After "Try #8" they just gave up.

[Colonel Cadillac]

Ooo that CLS 55 is soo sexy.  

[MaxPower]

i think that Pontiac you spied was sold as a Eagle in the US.  It's a previous body style Dodge Intrepid rebadge.  I'm not sure of the exact model name though.

[Tom]

Very nice shots as always!  The Caddy looks to be an extended Fleetwood Brougham.  Depending on the year it is either a 5.0 or Corvete-derived 5.7, both with RWD.  Most likely a 5.7.

Vision I believe.

[280Z Turbo]

Eagle Vision is right.

Here's a pic of the Pontiac Bonneville you were thinking of:

^British Humor I assume.^ :P

I was having a seizure just looking at it. The CLS is just so stunning in real life. Everytime I got to drive one, I enjoyed every second of it.  B)

Yep, the folks on C&D tell me it was sold as "Eagle Vision" in the US, and "Chrysler Vision" in Europe. Looked like a Bonneville to me though...I was pretty far away and took the shot with maximum zoom.

Thanks. Sadly, the Caddy wasn't "Classy Pearlescent White". I wanted PMC to be happy.    

[cawimmer430]

Eagle Vision is right.

Thanks for clearing that up. The Chrysler Vision looked also similar to GM4Life's (C&D member) Bonneville...at least in pictures.
