My pair of 600s (pictures)
The W100 600 is one of my favourite cars. The black one is by IXO and the green one comes from the Atlas Mercedes-Benz collection, the former which I bought from a car show and is separated from the latter by over a decade of random collecting. The two make for nice comparison between the differences at price ranges even if they're basically the same model.
I've never really liked the way the rear end seems to sit so close to the ground, which doesn't look too good with the very thin tires, but otherwise these are pretty good ones. Also I tried to do a little modification of the black model to look more like the American export version, but ideally I'd just like to get appropriate replacement bezels - without having to buy a super-expensive donor car. Eh, I'll live.

I always liked this Mercedes, awesome craftmanship was used in building these...

So what part of it do you like best? Driving one, or riding in the back seat? Or the guy at the bank who really has the title. Or maybe the banker who really owns it. Or maybe the MB dealer who sold it. Follow the money.

Blowing the foghorn in the middle of the city and then laughing haughtily.

Ah, Idi Amin's favorite car. A favorite with dictators everywhere!
