    Before this German guy from HQ came to the workshop, everyone said that I should be careful, follow the procedure and just not annoy him generally because he’s very serious and has scolded people before

    But now that I’ve met him, he seems alright, let me try out tools that I’ve never had the chance to use before, gave me tips and shortcuts I can take when repairing.

    I think he’s just serious with the staff and I’m an apprentice, technically I’m learning so I can get away with a lot of things.

    Cool guy, a huge old Mercedes nerd too.

      Sounds like the old guard that’s very serious about being professional 🤔

        I guess he’s also one of the few remaining Body and Paint specialist in the world, he was surprised to learn I’m the first Malaysian batch for the role.

        Just an apprenticeship but a huge fan of the W126 would love to own a C126 someday.

          Good choice, assuming there’s a road tax exemption for them. The 500SE is a boat.

          Here’s some W210 W201 porn:
