Tom, Yes, we really appreciated your demonstration on hwo to shut down a 115 300 diesel. Grille loops are really good. You make me lust after a a 115 when I read your post. Good luck with your new Bayerishe Motor Werken machine. Dwight

That's about 100 miles from me, but I'm keeping an eye on it. It may be about the same distance from you, btw. However, tomorrow I am getting another.... ummm... German car of a different make..... :) so I am in no position to buy. I'm in enough trouble already, trust me. That injection pump issue may scare some buyers away, though, so it may go cheap.... but the auction still has 5 days to go. The W115's are great simple cars, Curt, if you want one, you should grab it. The 300D's are all automatics, of course. Did you see that he has it listed as a 6 cylinder? So I am not sure how much attention he's paid to it, especially since that's a green Roller parked next to it. It probably hasn't gotten his undivided attention. You might get a steal. ..... and then I'd lose out on the cheapest jalopy award at next year's ChowdahQ!! Thanks again, btw, Curt and Angie, for a great job on the event, and Kudos also to Dwight, in particular, and Fred and the others who contributed the food and camaraderie that went into making it a successful event. Great cars, nice people and ... well, New England weather. Sigh. Well, two outta three aint bad! Did I mention the food? Great food too. Thanks for sharing the pics also.... although I was a little disappointed that you didn't mention the name of your dog. For all the viewers, you may have noticed that there were two of us out there that afternoon in yellow foul weather gear. Curt and Angie's dog was the one in the custom-tailored, flannel-lined Foul Weather gear. (Which looked.... Fabulous, btw.) I was the other one, in the cheap, ill-fitting, unlined rain slicker. Oh, and I am the one NOT wearing a leash, largely because my wife was unable to attend. And I was also pleased to have the opportunity to demonstrate the proper method for shutting down an old Mercedes diesel..... after one has blown one's injection pump shut-off valve. It's a vanishing art, but I am doing my part to keep it from becoming a lost one. :) Tom Schuch 1975 W115 300D and a bunch of feral BMWs SE Connecticut P.S.
