Phil, Sorry you disgree. I guess I'll need to ask Ian to pay him a visit? Damn he owns an MB too :) If the car he chose to evaluate was so poor why did they use it for the article? While I agree that the MB ur-qs are more desireable than the WX/WR's, the latter are still very rewarding cars. I just hope that the tea leaves in the UK read articles like this.... Regards, Mike
