Ah, I'm the smartass who asked about our in infamous audi nut.. and if I knew it was you I wouldn't have asked where he went. At least you respect the car? 69 280 SEL 120,000 Miles 72 350SL 108,000 Miles 2004 VW Passat 4 Motion 1999 Mazda Miata -----Original Message----- From: Russ Maki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: ned kleinhenz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Mercedes mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sun, 02 Oct 2005 21:49:01 -0500 Subject: Re: [MBZ] old list nostalgia/audi nut
Catching up a little on the name-calling thread -- I first subscribed to the mercedes-veterans list in '97 or so, looking for help in making my '71 /8 run right. I quickly stumbled into the largess of Frank Mallory, who gave me a rare W114 passenger side-view mirror and wouldn't even accept a dime for postage. Then Bill Wachsmuth swapped me a Becker Europa radio in exchange for an old BMW unit he probably had absolutely no use for. I went on to meet Todd Knutson through MBCA, as well as Dan Gordon, Randy Durrance, Jan Guthrie and a bunch of other great folks. The Internet and these lists were the conduit. I'm pretty low-key as a participant myself these days, but to all those who have helped me keep my cars on the highway -- Kaleb, Marshall, Andrew Strasvogel, to name a few more and neglect dozens of others -- I'm sincerely grateful. The years I've been subscribed are much less a badge of honor than they are an IOU. I've received far more than I've given. As for the smarta$$ who was wondering where the quattro nut went -- well, that wasn't me, but I do own an Audi. Here it is on frozen Lake Sinissippi, Wis., during a winter autocross: http://www.audifans.com/registry/view.php?action=viewImage&imagefile=192.251.4000%20pic.jpg Take my word for it -- no sedan beats an old-school Audi with locking differentials when you're driving home on a country road in a foot of snow.
