Default Vintage MBs in Bangkok

Last night my wife and I had dinner at The Oriental hotel here in Bangkok. Two really nice vintage MBs were in the driveway.

Thank you for sharing pictures with us, The Black/Red MB looks terrific, wish my SLK will turn out to be a classic someday.

Unfortunately I doubt any of the new cars will last as long as the older ones, too many gadgets!! I am supposed to be selling my 89 but am thinking it will be around much longer than my SLK...

I, sadly, agree. My 1992 500SL had a compact tape player. When it died it could no longer be replaced.

Six+ months ago I gave away 1968 Mercedes 280 Coupe. The guy will be able to restore the car to full capacity. Forty years from now a 2008 Mercedes will be.....well, hardware with no software.

Think of all the things around the house that can no longer be used (VCR, old computers, old cell phones, etc.) and then make a list of all the electronic goodies that are packed into a new Mercedes.
