Wimmer's Testdrives: The Complete List

Finally got all the links together. Most of them were posted on the Car and Driver Forums since I was a regular member there.

Some folks wanted me to compile the list of all my testdrives. Here they are. Enjoy.

First things first, here's the link to my trip to the new MB Museum. This trip solidified my passion for MB bigtime.

On your knees, Tycoon. Respect the Great Cawimmer.

j/k

I got to run now and do some grocery shopping for my mom. Will be back later.

A much apperciated list which took you time to make, and i know about making long lists

Great!!!

Wow, I could sit here all day and read these old reviews!!

I wish it were BMw reviews instead, then I would take time to read all the reviews

That's a mighty MIGHTY list you got there! I can only dream of driving all those Merc's like you, but I have years to come. By the way thanks for reviewing my car, the C180 (W202). That sure was fun and interesting to read.

There's quite a few W202 C180's there eh?

Even sampled a manual RHD one.

People are importing those from Germany like there's no tomorrow. Petrol W202's are being imported even more than diesels, maybe because younger people like them here. Including me, I bought it from Hamburg.

Maybe a Junior Pimp once owned it.

Joking aside, I've come to like the looks of the W202 C-Class. Incidentally, I also drove a W202 C220 CDI 5-speed manual, but that was while working for the MB dealer and I had to drive a customer somewhere so I couldn't stop and take pictures and had no opportunity to take pics of the car.

It was a Classic trim level model and was smoke silver and had one of those early CDI diesel engines. Coupled with the manual, it was quite agile.
