Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

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.
Working for Mercedes at one of their service centers? I'm a bit of a nerd for models before year 2000 =P
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:
these are not W210 lol, they're W201
Goddamn it, I mixed them up. Thanks for pointing that out vroom vroom
