Hopefully, in a couple of years, we are left with the insects that don't fly into cars.

To start an early diesel Merc you had to: - put the key into the ignition in position II - pull this knob to pre glow the engine - pull this knob further after preglowing to engage the starter motor Once the engine had started you let go of this knob. In this picture the knob is in the driving position (engine on). By turning the knob you could control the engine idle speed (for cold engines). The Mercedes-Benz W123 was the last Mercedes to have a knob for starting.

This Merc runs on LPG, hence the different oil colour.

The blurry boy moved in when I took the picture, so it was unintentional. He wasn't blurry in real life. The rims (of the W123) appear to be from an old S-class.
