My Ronin DVD must have been from 1999 or 2000. It has an elaborate anti-piracy PSA involving stealing a CRT TV and a W116 280SE.
1. I want to watch an old film I've noticed on a streaming site before.
2. I go to said streaming site to watch said film.
3. Film is no longer there.
4. The only sites I can find film on are rentals or purchases.
5. I find film on t*rr*nts or
6. Check ebay and buy a used DVD*.
7. Rinse and repeat.

W116: Driving the Mercedes S-class that defined the luxury car | Hagerty UK
There had been Sonderklasse saloons before, but fifty years ago the W116 Mercedes S-class set the standard for all that would follow.

Tempting though a vinyl roofed Silver Shadow might be, the W116 450 SEL really is the only choice here…

Factoid: An amazing car, the W116 450 SEL 6.9, arguably one of the most impressive cars Mercedes has ever made & a strong contender for one of the best luxury cars of all time…(1)

Many luxury makes selling large-engined models took a hit from the 1973/4 fuel crisis, but the difficult times didn't deter Mercedes-Benz from pressing ahead with a flagship for its established W116 S-class saloon. Known as the 450SEL 6.9, it was, however, only made in small numbers. #carbluesky

If we're talking cars that aren't mine... Someone in my neighborhood has a delightful green W116 with green cloth interior and a manual.

Took a walk at Shilshole Marina for the first time in ages and, as in the past, the car spotting did not disappoint. A🧵:
First up, a Mitsubishi Diamante, a Merc W116, an Isuzu Trooper and an '08 Mitsubishi Eclipse.
