[@sLim88CPC]

Loads of high quality work put here and congrats on the effect. At first you got my attention, as the video went by, you also got my interest. Being a perfectionist won't allow you to show anything below a certain standard (which you mention a lot, as it means the world to you) and as long you won't go too deep to the rabbit hole, it will all be glorious to watch and explicitly fulfilling to you to make it happen. I was here when there was just a tad over 2000 subs, watch this space fellas. Keep up the work, as it's inspiring. Good luck and take care. :)

[@clubquay]

If theres one thing I hope to do with my videos, I hope to inspire people. Balancing perfection and reality can be tricky. The W124 is my daily driver so lets see how it goes. Thanks for watching!

[@CarlEsquire7]

Literally thought I was watching a channel that had been around for at least 8/10 years. How the hell is your 1st video that well shot and edited? More content on this level, less car guy rachet that has been flooding KZbin for too damn long. Kudos my man, great video! No Diddy.

[@FlyingStuff]

Dude! I’ve always owned VAG products, (and still do own a broken b5 s4 and a broken mk7 VW, both of which are heavily modified). By chance, last summer a w124 300e, particularly, a 2 owner, clean CA title, 93k mile white ‘91 example, found it’s way into my life. A buddy of mine had parked next to it for 6 years at his apartment, to which the car never moved an inch during that entire time. It was covered in moss, the single stage white had taken on a completely matte finish from the years of CA sun exposure. After years of attempts, none other than his fiancé finally convinced the owner to let the car go to her, for $300- yes, $300..! He changed the oil, battery, new tires, and drove it for about a week until one morning it decided not to start and he didn’t have the energy to care, so he asked me if I wanted it for $1100- exactly the amount he had into it. I was on the phone to reserve a tow immediately and 1 hour later it was sitting in my driveway. Turns out the car just needed a new MAS module, which I opted for a refurb unit- $250, and about 50 hours worth of painstaking paint restoration and extensive cleaning- I had myself a quite literally MINT 93K mile w124 300e - all in for less than $1400. I am not lying when I say that every single button, switch, or function in general on that car worked like new. One year and about 11,000 GLORIOUS miles later, the only thing to fail me has been the starter motor. I initially bought the car as a quick and tidy flip, but it’s warmed it’s way into my heart so deeply, I can’t bring myself to let it go. Perhaps I will, perhaps it will stay, but the w124 is a car that you will continue to discover more and more amazing thought and engineering behind its design every time you get behind the wheel. It’s truly one of the best and most surprisingly awesome cars I’ve ever had the immense pleasure to spend time with. Side note- one of my clients borrowed the car for a week and fell so madly in love himself, he recently purchased a c124 300ce 3.4 AMG BRABUS wide body that had been listed on MB Market in the UK last year- I’ll share the link to the exact car he bought and imported this most recent March. That car now resides safely just outside or the SF BayArea and is in good hands, in fact, it is going under the knife next month to receive an engine transplant- a certain AMG M275- the V12 BiTurbo from an R230 SL65. I don’t typically write a novel in response to a YT video, but your enthusiasm for the car echoes mine in many ways and I thought I’d share the awesome 124 stories I’ve been a part of over the last year. Look forward to seeing the progress of your project!

[@clubquay]

Thats an amazing story! Let me ask you a question, being a VAG guy for years, when you hop into the W124, does it give you the same buzz now? Its almost like a slow burn, you start to obsess over it more and more. Thats how I feel about it, not sure I would have felt the same way If i got one in my early 20’s.
