Today’s episode of #canadiancosworth ...The original owner of this car bought it in Canada in 1986. In 1988, she came to Los Angeles in pursuit of her career (I’ll share more about this in future episodes, follow the hashtag to stay in touch). Though she probably didn’t drive much of the historic #route66, the idea of chasing the sun certainly resonates with so many who come to the #bestcoast. And you know what? Even a “failed” career is a successful life, if lived on the shores of #malibu. I can relate to this. The city of #losangeles has been so good to me. I’m in constant gratitude for the life I live. #190ecosworth #190e2316 #w201 #luckyimmigrant #californiadreaming #mercedesbenzclubofamericaThe car belonged to an old white lady who used to take it to the country club (found golf tees everywhere). It’s also the car referenced in rap videos (Wanna be ballers, shot callers, brawlersWho be dippin' in the Benz with the spoilers). It was the brainchild of Mercedes engineers’ who begrudgingly agreed to make a mass market entry level Benz and race engine builder Cosworth (before AMG and Mercedes were a thing). I’m gonna quote automotive journalist @jasoncammisa who drives all the coolest cars, and owns many of them, yet calls this his personal favorite...”engineers snuck it past the board as a “sport model,” secretly developing it specially for the then-new DTM series. Its success caused BMW to create the M3 (three years later), which ignited the horsepower war that we’re still fighting today. Like your M3? C63 AMG? ATS-V? Giulia Quadrifoglio? IS-F? RS4? Then you can thank the 190E 2.3-16.” #justificationforhighereducation #190e2316 #190ecosworth #lorinser #dunlop #mercedesbenz #mbca #pch thank you to @speeedshop and @mradams for giving this barnfind cpr, and preserving the golf tees too. .Edit: the story of this car is quite compelling, so I started #CanadianCosworth to chronicle to document its story as I start to uncover and tell it. Follow the hashtag to stay in touch.Smoking! #e30touring #e30wagon #hookah #almazankitchenI don’t know how I got myself into this mess. I never intended to own either of these cars but they just happened. Slipped, fell and landed on a stick. But they’re both lovely and I’m enjoying the heck out of them. #e30touring #e30wagon #190e2316 #1902316 #190ecosworth #5speed #doglegshifter @big_euro here I come! #socalbigeuro #euroclassic #montereycarweek2019Started the morning at the @petersenmuseum with @bringatrailer and @jaylenosgarage. Took the #68impala out but all my attention was on the classic euros. Next weekend is #bigsocaleuro in San Diego and I can’t wait. @speeedshop is finishing up the #190ecosworth, and the #bmw2002 will be unveiled with a new motor. My neighbor is bringing his pre-Audi #autounion and I might even be able to take this #barnfind #w114 my other neighbor want me to help him move. Oh, and last, but not least, I’ll find out if I won the auction on the #e30touring on #bat #euroclassic in full effect. So yeah... about the impala.It’s that time of year again! For those who know me, hit me up for an invite. #zamirbbqDate nights are always fun with @tatianazamir. Thx @christian.j.m.delfino and @roland_us for connecting us with @cinespia. And thx @nateshines and @everything.almas for the fig jam cheese spread.I’m not gonna keep this thing for long, but it’s quite the attention getter. Especially from those who really get it. All my Persian friends keep saying “oh yeah, my mom used to have that car!” To which I have to keep responding, “your mom may have had a 190e, but it wasn’t a 2.3-16 with the Cosworth engine and it certainly wasn’t the euro spec version! There is like 1000 of these left in the world!” I can’t wait to take it to some car shows. The true car guys really get excited to see this car in the flesh. #190e2316 #190ecosworth #cosworth #eurospec #unicornsighting #w201cosworth #w201Picked up a new toy. 1986 190e 2.3-16 euro spec Cosworth engine. Now to find a velour adidas track suit to match. #190ecosworth #mercedes190e #190e2316v #cosworth #dtm #w201 #coolfactor #adidas #eurospecNot impressed by my follower count? Thanks for sharing that.
