Hoovie's propensity to inflict financial pain on himself is unsurpassed hitherto. He makes all the obscure and strange purchases I dream about and he has to deal with all the problems while I vicariously experience the fun of geeking out on all these great cars. Hoovie you're the man.
seeing him lose his shit on the bentley was the top moment for me :D i've always laughed at those cars and their owners, and here is hoovie buying a 1st model year one from fucking russia of course........... top kek

Hey Tyler, thanks dude for inspiring me to buy a Mercedes e320cdi. Bought it for $1200 with 308,000. Now has 316k. It has been an absolute joy to work on and drive. I can get 40 mpgs and drive almost 900 miles on a tank, all while having the power to pass anyone I want. Only v8 sports car can keep up. Thanks again for all your work!
Жак Морозов nice dude. I’m going to get a used kleeman stage 1 for mine. I hear it really opens it up. As far an w210 e55 goes I don’t want one. But a w211 e55, I ABSOLUTELY plan on getting one at some point. it’ll be my joyride car not daily driver.
Abarrotz Axpe wich e320? The w210 is a rock solid car in all but one thing, rust. We used to drive those things as taxi and really beat them to death. They just kept chugging along.
Abarrotz Axpe as far a economy and power. It has to be Mercedes best.. w210 diesels might be less maintenance when it comes to the little things but this w211 straight 6 turbo paired with the 722.6 is great combo.
Disemboweled, cremated... or buried alive! These are just some of the horrible fates to befall innocent automobiles that stray unsuspectingly into... Dr Tyler's Garage of Terror!
Fucking conversion is about 50k. At that point the conversion could cost more than the fucking car. I got an idea. Send me hoovies asian doll and I’ll cut the check after she lets me hit it
THANK YOU for putting those amg monoblocks on this baby! I LOVE those wheels. I cannot wait to get my hands on a w140 diesel as a summer car. It is my ultimate dream!
"My car is totally mechanically sorted..." Fast forward two weeks to a video of flames engulfing an SL600, or said SL600 on the back of a deck truck. 😜 Glad you finally caught a break, Tyler. Just remember, even a blind squirrel eventually finds a nut. 😉
One of the older guys that's a regular at the bar I work at has a small collection of cars, I only started noticing cause he randomly comes in driving a different one. One of them is a white SL600, I believe 95. Beautiful car, his is in immaculate condition, I've only seen it once. Always loved the boxy look of these.
Harry, from Harry's garage loves his V12 Too, in a vid a few years ago he showed you can balance a coin on the running motor as it is SO smooth, considering this engine is the base for what sits in multi million $$$ Pagani's , an SL600 is an extremely good Buy.
This SL600 is a keeper, particularly in the shape it's in now. Only addition needed is the hardtop. I had an SL300 24 with the hardtop and on an approximately 900mi round trip drive the time with the hard top on was by far the best long distance trip in the car.
January in Kansas. Ground is frozen harder than a rock and covered in 2 feet of snow. Probably not then. Also didn't they bury it at the wizard's old garage? He's got a new huge garage, don't know if he still owns that piece of land, if new owner would be okay with him going back there with a back hoe, or what the deal is.
Hi, I own this exact same car. My interior is gray and charcoal though, yours is black and gray. So my suspension screwed me over because the linkage for the sensors were out and I had to get towed. I'm lucky I didnt die since the whole front suspension dropped on the highway. Anyhow, I replaced the front and back linkage. Got the body work done on my beat up fenders and then I proceeded to adjust the ride height since the linkage I replaced is adjustable. Dude, anyone that owns one of these vehicles should replace the linkage and then adjust the height to your heart's desire. I dropped the front just a tad and the new stance looks great.
A little trivia for you sir, as you were merely a kid when this car was designed by Bruno S. The car's front bumper is 2 inches longer than the SL500 to account for the longer V12 engine. As with all Mercedes, safety first with extra crumple zone starting at the bumper. This was a good way to spot a badge engineered SL500 - when the owner decided to up the number of cylinders by exchanging the 5 for a 6. It happened a lot back in the day. Just some trivia from an old man. Cheers
Now this is what I think of when I hear “luxury car” great build quality, top notch material etc... not like today where it’s like a d!ck measuring contest to see who can cram the biggest tablet into the dash. Good on you Hoovie that’s a kick ass ride.
Hoovie " you the Man ,the Man that got it actually right saying that all new Merc's look like a Camry . Absolutely correct , have you seen the disaster of 2021 W223 S class . Beautiful SL600 you tested there ,mine is 600SEL with same engine .
Hoovie…….. Great vid. You been watchin too much Wheeler Dealer's Sir lol. I love all the older more expensive stuff that now are peanuts, Please get an XJR6 Jag. Had a couple and loved them buddy.
Those stock series looking wheels look SSSSOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER then the chrome trash wheels that were on it when you bought it back.Yea,its a year later but GREAT design and styling never get old.Not a fan of the hydraulic ball suspension when koni shocks would do as good or better a job though.AND NEVER FAIL.
you deserve 2mil Subs. All of your posts are fun, and involve bringing back some relics to life, the best part for me. Yeah you could review 1.5 -4 million dollar exotics, but isn't that mostly for euro-trash:)
The earth is obviously not flat,i can see a mountain out of my window,i have walked up it,and when you trip up you role down it,and hurt your ankle,it hurts,a lot.
Top Hydraulics is a good place for rebuilt hydraulic actuators. $550 for a full set on the R129. I swapped out my (leaking, of course..) front actuator on my R230 last year for a mere $65. Sure, it took a bit of fiddling because the hydraulic lines runs all the way to the trunk. But a good deal better than $2000. :)
From the previous owner of an 85 380sl also all black, the car looks great. To any younger folks out there, there is nothing quite like the shear presence of a Benz convertible. These cars are timeless. Congrats.
Yeah I hear ya on taking losses and having a crowded stable but also my last one was a major win and you should do like me and KEEP IT!!! # keep it hoovie
Balls on the suspension, fluids spraying all over your body and good amounts of lube about the convertible roof, the awkward moans, amongst some other things I forgot. Well this video would be a hilarious edited soundbite to someone that wants to take the time to make you look like a weird perv. 🤣 But anyhow, great work Hoovie and great video. I enjoy your channel. One of the few on TH-cam worth watching. Keep it up.
damn...were they Kuhmos? At least go Hanook ......I know they aren't the best either but Kuhmo ride quality is fairly bad while Hancook is pretty decent
and he somehow ended up paying $800 for those tires with mounting and balance i am legit impressed that he was able to find one of the cheapest tires out there and managed to spend $200 per tire. i used to work at a tire shop and had i known that there was this kind of money in cheap tires i could have been rich by now
You got yourself a great appreciating classic. Take my advice and make a few videos on it, wait for it to double in value which they are and pawn it off for a great bitta profit
I envy you big time for owning one of these! I would definitely keep it especially since it's sorted out! Well at least that's the advice from a Mercedes guy.
If there is one car to keep it's this one, where else will you achieve timeless looks, 12 cylinder smoothness, Mercedes quality from back when that meant something and such an all around stunning, clean vehicle for such a low investment, keep this and move some of your other junk, this car is goooood
*Boi you need some advice* 1)Buys a deathtrap Bentley 2)Trades a pristine NSX for a Ferrari F355 Spider 3)Blows the 911's engine.... Again 4)Buys this thing
Keep it. R107, R129, W202 and maybe now think about W124 E500? ;) You are growing a nice collection there. AMG wheels are great, the car looks way better now.

Gotta love Mercedes! Between it, BMW, Jaguar, etc - Far less for maintenance and repairs. And equal or better quality for most parts.
Couldn't agree more!
It's so cool how the head rests look like they're floating.
Hoovie needs to buy an Aston Martin Vanquish with a manual conversion. Just make sure your home owners is up to date.
Vinwiki for the win!
Stymie Snerdly Thank You!! I'm glad someone caught that.
It was a firework from a local celebration it was not the Aston martin.Love from England.

my comment was a direct comparison with Kuhmo (with price in mind)....easy, obviously there are way better tires than Hans.
