2006 Mercedes-Benz S 350| W221.056

Leave a reply

INTRODUCTION

Allow me to present my new acquisition; it’s an S-Klasse W221-056 of 2006. She came to my life by chance; as often happens with car aficionados, we do browse auction and “4-Sale” sites just to check the market trends, or to pass a pleasant evening. It was a similar situation when I stumbled upon an ad in http://www.car.gr I made a call to the sellers www.collection-cars.gr on a Wednesday afternoon and then I went to visit, checking out the car and taking it for a short test drive.

In negotiations I offered to partially exchange my other MERCEDES-BENZ C200CA | W123.060. The the next morning the car was sent to my new specialist Mercedes-Benz mechanic Mr. Nikos Karlos of TEOKAR LTD. She passed the inspection with flying colors. By next week the car was in my whilst the W123.060 was transferred to theirs plus some cash.

Cars & Diseases: μια προσωπική ιστορία

Leave a reply

Ο τίτλος του άρθρου μπορεί να φαντάζει σαν παράξενος, πρωτότυπος ή οποιαδήποτε άλλη σκέψη που ενδέχεται να προκαλεί στους αναγνώστες. Όμως για μένα λέει πολλά. Γιατί; Διότι μετά από τις πρόσφατες περιπέτειες της υγείας μου, βρήκα καταφύγιο, παρηγοριά και ανανεωμένη όρεξη για τη ζωή μου. Όλα ξεκίνησαν από την προηγούμενη μου ανάρτηση με τίτλο: https://byronriginos.com/2022/01/15/my-vows-for-2022/…

Fast forward στο σήμερα μας εμφανίστηκε ο κ.Parkinson με την disease του, 🦠 παρέα με τον κ. Alzheimer…

Εκτός λοιπόν από την συνεχιζόμενη ταλαιπωρία μου … και κατρακύλα με την άτιμη αυτοάνοση αρρώστια της Parkinson’s Disease, πρόσφατα μέσα μέσα από ένα πρόγραμμα προληπτικών εξετάσεων που είχε προδιαγράψει ο Διευθυντής του Νευρολογικού Τμήματος του Mediterraneo Hospital, Δρ. Στάθης Παντελής συμπεριελάμβανε και καρδιολογικό έλεγχο. Λόγω της φιλικής μας σχέσης με την οικογένεια Σιώνη [ο πατέρας Δημήτρης και ο υιός Γιώργος–αμφότεροι καταξιωμένοι επεμβατικοί καρδιοχειρουργοί]👌, αρχικά αφέθηκα στα ικανά χέρια του νεαρού Γιώργου. Μετά από ένα 24ώρο Holter η εικόνα έδειξε ότι η καρδούλα έπασχε από αρρυθμίες… Έγραψε ότι «Ο ασθενής Ρηγινός Βύρων προσήλθε την 17/1/2022 στο ιδιωτικό μου ιατρείο με αναφερόμενα προσυγκοπτικά επεισόδια από ημερών, ζάλη και εύκολη κόπωση. Από την κλινική εξέταση και το ΗΚΓ στο ιατρείο μου, διαπιστώθηκε εκτακτοσυστολική αρρυθμία, ενώ από την υπερηχοκαρδιογραφική μελέτη δεν διαπιστώθηκαν ιδιαίτερα παθολογικά ευρήματα. Τοποθετήθηκε Holter ρυθμού 24ώρου, που ανέδειξε εξαιρετικά συχνές έκτακτες κοιλιακές συστολές (μονήρεις, επεισόδια τριδυμίας καθώς και ριπές μη εμμένουσας κοιλιακής ταχυκαρδίας), για τις οποίες έγινε έναρξη β-αναστολέα και συνεστήθη έλεγχος στεφανιαίας νόσου με αξονική στεφανιογραφία. Η αξονική στεφανιογραφία ανέδειξε έντονη αθηρωμάτωση και ασβέστωση των στεφανιαίων αγγείων με διάσπαρτες έως μετρίου βαθμού στενώσεις καθώς και υπόνοια υφολικής στένωσης/ απόφραξης της δεξιάς στεφανιαίας αρτηρίας. Ο ασθενής συνεστήθη να προχωρήσει σε διενέργεια στεφανιογραφικού ελέγχου και πιθανώς διαδερμικής παρέμβασης στην ένοχη βλάβη ». Έτσι πήγαμε σε κανονική Στεφανιογραφία που έγινε την Τρίτη22/2/22 στο www.IASO.gr. Λόγω της Parkinson’s δεν έπρεπε να υποστώ σε αναισθησία. Έτσι η όλη διαδικασία [1 ώρα προετοιμασίας + 3 ωρες στεφανιογραφίας] διεξήχθη άνευ, παρά μόνο με τοπικά αναισθητικά τυπου οδοντιατρικής. Γεγονός που με άγχωσε κομμάτι παραπάνω συν με αρκετούς πόνους. Τέλος καλό – όλα καλά 👌👍. Έφυγα με τρία Stents λόγω μπλοκαρισμένων αρτηριών κατά 95%/85%/80%. Κοινώς το έμφραγμα ήταν ante portas. Ευγνώμων και προς τους δύο ιατρούς μου, παραθέτω αποστροφή του εμαιλ που ελαβα την επόμενη της επέμβάσης από τον Πατέρα Δημήτριο:

Βύρωνα καλημέρα. Περαστικά και να τα ξαναπούμε μόνο με ενα ποτήρι κρασί. Ολα καλά. Λιγη προσοχή σήμερα και αυριο στην κινητοποίηση σου γιατί μπορεί να αισθανθείς λιγη ζαλάδα. Πολλά υγρά τις επόμενες δύο ημέρες και ηρεμία χωρίς πολλά πολλά τις επόμενες δύο εβδομάδες. (Οχι ξάπλα αλλα προσεκτική κινητοποίηση). Καλή συνέχεια. Είσαι σε καλά χέρια του Γιώργου. Φιλιά. Δημήτρης Σιώνης.

I wake up every morning

believing today is going to be

better than yesterday.

Will Smith

Επειδή γαρ ανήσυχο το πνεύμα αλλά ενθυμούμενος και το σοφό ρητό ότι «…για τους άνδρες, όσο αφορά τα παιχνίδια τους, αυτά διαφέρουν σε σύγκριση με τα παιδικά τους, μόνο σε δύο παράγοντες: ότι είναι μεγαλύτερου μεγέθους και σαφώς πιο ακριβά σε τιμή». Όπως ολοι οι car aficionados, μαζί κι’ εγώ, συχνά παιρνάμε ευχάριστες στιγμές του στυλ Dreaming is Free, ψάχνοντας στο διαδίκτυο τις αγγελίες μεταχειρισμένων. Επειδή είμαι λάτρης της φίρμας του Αστεριού [a.k.a. Mercedes-Benz] λατρεύω να ψάχνω εντός και εκτός Ελλάδος σχετικες αγγελίες με προτίμηση τελευταία όπως π.χ. εδώ: S Classe W221 , ή 2005 Mercedes-Benz E 350 T 4MATIC ή και εδώ: η τύχη με έφερε ενώπιον σέ ένα αξιόλογο με λίγα χιλιόμετρα [μόλις 90.500] #S350 του 2006 🤩 που διατίθεται από την www.collectioncars.gr

Part III. Since I became the next keeper of this lovely 1960 Mercedes-Benz R121.020 |190SL [a.k.a. Suzy Love ❤️], during November of 2018, I have gradually embarked on a multi step restoration process. For my Car Guys & Gals friends 👫 I post here the stories as they unfold in her current timeline. For the introductory post of this historic vehicle click here: https://byronriginos.com/2018/12/06/my-dancing

-with-the-best-or-nothing , plus for the follow up post on the restoration project click here: https://byronriginos.com/2019/06/30/the-restoration-project-of-suzy-love/

The #190SL is ready to depart the workshop of #MercedesBenzClassic of Papapanagiotou Bros.

So from here on, we commence the story of Part III.

The Wolf Intake Whistle, has been acquired from the Hellenic Motor Museum, and wanted to install it in the 1290SL since many months!

After several telephone calls with my chief mechanic Nikos, to ensure that the car would be ready, being already in Kea island at our summer home, I asked my pal Spilios to accompany me in the early ferry to Lavrion and then via taxi to Athens to pick up the R121, on the Thursday of 8th August 2019. We would drive the car back to Lavrion in time to catch the afternoon ferry back to Kea. Well as all good plans get a little sidetracked, upon our early morning arrival [ca. 08:30] at the shop, there were as anticipated a number of details to take care of before declaring the car fit for the road, especially with her planned venture to many islands, I had to be extra careful in my scrutinizing process, among them to ensure the safety of the car and that the new accessory of the vacuum operated Wolf horn was working properly. Time became our enemy that hot Agust morning in Athens, but we managed to push off in the early afternoon. 112

With the top down we had to venture to Kifissia, at our son Dimitris OK Market in view of a longish restocking list issued by my beloved spouse Ivi. The highlight of the photo being the Wow 🤩 expression on the face of the passerby ‼️
