Greetings everyone, welcome to my blog. Hope you had a great day.
I've got a fascinating find that I want to share with you. Can you guess what it is? Hmmm, okay, let me not stress you further, I'll tell. 😂
During the previous week, I went over to my elder sister's place - a nearby village, to pick up some stuffs she bought for our parents. I had planned on returning the same day, but ended up spending the night with them. Lol. She has a knack for persuading people to spend more time with her. You can't beat her to it. Lol. Well, it was cool as we were able to catch up with each other after some weeks, hehehe.
Now to the main gist, lol.
As I got there, the first thing that caught my sight was this vintage car - my brother-in-law's Mercedes-Benz E320. "Wow, so this car is still here," I said to myself. I was so excited to see it again that I took some snapshots. Here they are:

I also captured it in monomad
This classic ride has been with my brother-in-law for over two decades. I have fond memories of cruising in this car with my sister and brother-in-law when I was living with them back then. I always loved cleaning the car, and would often slide into the driver's seat to do a playful, pretend-driving. I'll be turning the steering wheel as if I was a pro, honking and talking to other non existent drivers to make way. Lol. You get the drift? It's usually a fun moment and I always enjoy the thrill of driving without actually moving the car. 😂
After he bought a new one, a Mercedes E series too, this one was kept off the road, and it's been years now. At one time, I asked about the car and was told that it is still cooling off in the garage.
However, sometime last year, when the house was under renovation, he pulled the car out and took it to the mechanics for. And it's a wonder that after all these years, the car still looks great. Well, it has to because he took very good care of it back then. My brother in law is an intentional driver, who doesn't neglect his car. When once he notices any issue in the car like performance issue, unusual noise or leaks, he's calling the mechanic immediately. He'd often say "I can't be managing a car that has issues, it's risky"
It was nice to see the car running smoothly again. Even I enjoyed a ride in it, and it was just like the good old days, hehehe.
This vintage beauty still maintains its steeze, and can give some of the cars we have now a ride for their wheels, I tell ya! 😅

The Mercedes-Benz 320 is a model of the 123 series, which was produced from 1975 to 1986. The 123 model series belongs to the upper middle class and is considered the epitome of solidity. This car brings back many childhood memories for me. Our night bar drove one of these cars. Today, you see this type of car on the road every now and then as a well-restored classic car or in German TV series such as Bergdoktor.🤗🤣
You're right. The car was for the high and mighty. My brother-law's mom called it "oke ụgbọ meaning big car" 🤣. You need to see how she prided with the car 😅.
!BBH
That Mercedes is really looking Sharp. Nothing like two decades written on it.
Madam driver hope you used your seatbelt and you pressed the horn too 😂😂
I tell you, the car still set.
Yes now, once I get behind the steering wheel, forget it. Fast and furious dey learn work where I dey sef 🤣
!BBH
Bergdoktor
😂😂😂😂
Na so
This is now a vintage ride. I remember this car from way back 2002, it was the ride for the big boys back then, and it's quite contrasting that the compound is a new-age building with such an older car.
You're right, the car was trending at that time and not many family had it.
That's the beauty of it. Old soldier never dies 😂
