RE: '94 Q45 / '89 200q comparison...

I tend to disagree about MB diesels. Half of taxi cabs in Poland are MB
diesels, many of them are 15 or more years old, yet they're driven every
day. A fellow mechanic of mine drives an '80 or '81 300D and says it's
absolutely bulletproof.

91 mountain bike (just in case both cars broke at the same time :-)
