Good entertainment.....
A legend I'm only learning of now.
I have a mk7 gti but i want one of these so bad 😂
Erm, Ive got a PP 7.5 and for me its not a hot hatch, at least not in the true sense of the word, yes its a hatchback, and it goes, but its to heavy, and not lively enough to be a hot hatch. True hot hatch is XR2, Xr3i, Citroen Saxo VTs, Clio 182, Civic Ep3 etc. Hot hatch should be light, twitchy. small and over powered, twitchy, with lift off oversteer, kart like. Golf gti is a great car dont get me wrong, but its no hot hatch.
The Golf was always heavier and less lively than its contemporaries, they were more solid and arguably better built. By that logic then, there never was a hot hatch golf.
@@427Motorsports Golf Mk 1 and Mk2 16v could be considered hot hatches, it's not just about the weight its how the car handles, the feel of the car. I've got a 7.5 PP and it's a stunning car, makes the daily commute fun, it whisks you along but for me it doesn't feel like a true hothatch.
Awesome cars 😀👌 My brother bought a new silver Golf 2 GTI 16V in the late 80's. I wish he kept it but he always only kept a car 2 or 3 years. I have a silver '03 Golf 4 GTI 1.8T and love it.
I lust after one of those
I drive a 1984 300SD daily and have been doing it since 1990. It has over 640,000 miles. Still going strong. My Toyota Camry, Kia optima, all went kaput
Best car in the world. Fact
What about the 98 300E , how’s these cars as a daily driver
They’re good but biodegradable wiring looms mean they’re ripe for problems
lol, son has Heart set on one , seems like a good summer car for him
Outstanding reportage!
i had between 2016 untill 2018 a 190D 2.5 non turbo. 90hp but Previous owner did something to the fuel pump i think because it was quicker then a W124 300D. It had many issues like dashboard lights that are broken, also with new lamps and new cluster, nothing. a mechanic shop replaced all 10 suspensions arms in the rear axle, 1000 dollar job. After that i got rid of it. Some guy wanted to export it to africa. Be my guest.
The test drive unlimited music is 👌
I just bought a 1985 last Monday. Technically it's an 86 but it was built in 85 so I like to call it that 😂 Nevada Beige 1.6 CL with a grey interior. It's a piece of shit but I love it.
Nevada beige is honestly one of the nicest colours they ever came in. Enjoy!!
haha excellent
Shoot ........missed this one as was out partying on a Saturday night ....ach well. In other news vacuum central locking was got working again during the week so smug factor 10 .
There was also a 1.8T with 240ps / 320Nm
Have a 93 190E 2.6 drives well handles well

Is it transparent sticker paper or just normal white? If its normal white is it see trough enough for leds to shine trough it?
Normal white - because there’s no ink where the white is, it’s translucent enough :)
Carole’s Merc was such a heap At least the guys had bought it cheap 800 miles, from Armagh did they ride When they got there ,,Dad had cried The rust was bad , the smell was rank £170 ???? really not worth a …tank ….. Good effort fellas , and good vidya But probs best we forget this car.
Sorry gents , snoozed off at 3:42 ish .
We don't blame you! Thanks for joining in! 😁
The background music is good
Welcome to k-jet. Awesome vid Tommo, Conor and crew. Great effort
What's the name of the song used for the first 20 seconds of the video? Thanks.
Vangelis' theme from the Bounty!
Rest in peace dear Ewy. Once again you are together with Ursula and hopefullly driving Benzes. What an inspirational life you had, and thank you for making the Mercedes brand what it use to stand for, a forefront of automobile engineering. ❤❤❤
Could you tell me where you got new decal from please? Great vid and I’m just in the process of buying one. Thanks guys. Michael. :-)
Hey Michael! It was done by our local sign writer, they’re bespoke. Cheers!
Why would you bother with a pile of scrap like that it's obvious the Mercedes engine will run but the metal work is unrepairable especially comming from Scotland a good engine but the rest is scrap 😮
Funny
Really enjoyed your little adventure. I also bought a W123e laid up for 10 years and had similar issues with running. Before throwing parts at it make sure fuel return is clear, it’s a smaller pipe than the feed and in my car was blocked solid with evaporated fuel varnish. Good luck!
Is there a part 2 coming out?
I live in the states so I get the better 123s and 124s 😂. I got my hands on a 123 Sedan with the 300d and a 124 sedan with the inline-6 turbo diesel. The speed difference is out of this world. And I agree the 124 is underrated.
Don’t work on cars when you don’t have any notion how to work on them technically .. Stupid stupid stupid . Sorry to say but the end was very disappointing .
Watch any of our videos and you’ll see you’re very, very wrong. But cheers to helping our algorithm!
a descent one for 1500 pounds? Not in here in Holland for sure. More like €7 - 9k.
The passion! Do you still own it?
Thanks for the video.
Guy in orange looks like a pilot for the rebel alliance.
Very good video , Thank You
I think the MK 7 GTI is a great enthusiast car too (even though its called the Golf TSI GT) Ive managed to get 68 mpg (between 45-55 mpg in sport mode
Not over here it isn’t!
I drove my 62 300SE with 6 cyl from high school in 74 until early 90’s. Kept maintenance up, oil changed regularly and had to replace rear air bags.
Excellent video and superbly documented, loved it thanks :)
Loving the enthusiasm . When I was getting into motors (80s) these were just "cars" ....not classic cars. So happy to see there is still such a following for old VDubs that were designed for a 10 year n100k life. Couldn't tell you how many Beetles I scrapped in the 1980s. Dailying a W123 currently as ...the only sensors in the car are my four paws and the checks of my arse , the "brain" is in my head and ........I can still fix them without a computer or a parts cannon . Love your work guys.
Hugely useful cargo area. Among other things it could fit a single bed mattress, and a 14.5 cu ft chest freezer (had to take the door off). Completely flat cargo floor.
Great vid , had never heard of her , thank you .
YES it was behind the wheel off a Mercedes just like this ? except that Ewys car was a 220 Injection and left hand drive !
I bet you’re really fun at parties
Whell no because i dont go to partys anymore ! i am to busy with restoring my Mercedes 300 se w108 .. number 6 in the line you amateurs 🤣 If you can handle the truth then dont reply simpel 😉
It’s as simpel as bca
@@rudiknapen4867 She raced both 220's and 300's.
Habla demasiado en los vídeos me gusta cuando hacen los trabajos sin hablar mucho.
Then turn the volume off.
I brought in the first S cargo into Harwich back in 1987.. Bringing it from the importer depot to London was a nightmare.. It had an annoying tinky bell speed warning which was pre set for 60mph.... It was repainted and leased out to a bakery in East London...
Thank you for a wonderfully informative video. Best wishes to you and the team always.
Nice video. Why you didn't change the oil?
The oil in it looked golden with food viscosity
The legend must live.😊
