While tooling around McLean playing house, I parked next to a four-door white 20-year-old G230 Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen. I immediately fell in love.
I am already planning a trip to Berlin to visit Mark and to pick up an 80s G-Wagon. We plan to tool around Europe and then I will ship the sucker back and figure out what to do then.
Man, she was even a cooler beast than my Disco.

keep in mind you may have to spend some money on them before a trip.

I would love to have a 240GD — I assume that the D means diesel! I would convert it to grease and oil — and run it on soy bean oil or whatever would work. That would be cool.

Seems as if you guys know lots about g-wagens. Please advise, for about the same price, which should I consider:
1994 290GD Auto LWB – 275000 on the clock: 463 model or
1999 290GD Auto LWB – 124500 on the clock: 461 model
Your comments will be highly appreciated.
