    Shreyas Somanna actually, most people have a normal way speaking when they’re comfortable, which is their actual accent, and another fake accent which they present to the public because of insecurities about their actual accent or ability to speak in English, and the accents are usually pretty bad and anyone who speaks English well can recognise the difference.

But on the way back home, I spotted a W124 lying among other normie cars and out of those 3 cars I spotted the Merc is what's occupied my brain the most. And I've been itching to go again and look properly. I wish I could buy it and restore but gah I'm 17 and with no dough :p. Still keeping an eye out though. Love these mid 90s to mid 2000 cars. great video

    Excellent camera work, all throughout. Few hints: 2:40 The plastic side trims were added in the first facelift in year 1989. The bonnet changed in 1993. 3:06 Missed to include a demonstration of the thud when the last door closes with all glasses up, so that people can realize how pathetic it is in their modern cars! 3:52 The mirrors are almost flat (or is it really flat?!), unlike concave mirrors on most cars, rendering a smaller field of vision. But the difference is that you get the correct perception of distance of the approaching vehicles from your car. 4:25 Missed to mention that the heavy bonnet remains up in opened position by itself, without any manual support rod or a visible hydraulic strut. A cleverly engineered hinge mechanism. Miss my 200E!

    the W124 was the first car I got to drive by myself, at it was the most liberating 20 minutes of my life. Since then, it's literally been my dream car, more than the Mustangs, Jaguars and other animals. It's possible, and attainable. I've been worried I might not be able to legally drive one around, considering that I'm 25 atm and it'll take a bit until I can afford one. The fact that I stumble upon this video a day after it's published is a sign that I shan't let this one go just yet.

    This is the car that every 90s kid grew up drawing in the back of their notebooks. I loved this design so much! This is the epitome of mechanical engineering. Having all the basics right! If there's any enterprising entrepreneur willing to begin manufacturing a car that has all the basics right, I would invest in such crowdfunding endeavor. I'm sure many like me are willing to experience what true German engineering feels like. Make the design and manufacturing process opensource. Have OEMs contribute in design phase. This would turn out to be an excellent vehicle. If software can be built open-source. Why not hardware and cars! 1. Solid Build (like the W124) 2. Reliable and powerful engine 3. Good driving dynamics 4. Every detail thought through 5. Manual Transmission with all wheel drive
