Re: Mercedes-Benz W124 500E aka Porsche typ 2758
Made it back home after +5000km through Switzerland, Italy and Sardinia. The car hasn't missed a beat which I think is quite impressive for a 25yr old highly complex car. It was actually a real joy to travel with, relaxing but a degree of fun difficult to find in modern day cars. OK you can't rush it too much or hustle it around the twisties, but if treated with respect for its age and size you're able to drive it at decent pace.
About a week ago we took the crossing to Sardinia with the intention of staying for a week, yet we ended up returning to mainland Italy after 3 days. Way to busy and too many resorts, etc... I didn't find the food at all comparable to the quality you find in Italy either...
Apologies on behalf of RT for the rotation of the pictures.
