Too big/heavy. Would upset the chassis balance. You can get them with  
chipped VW TDIs (140+ hp), Turbo Focus engines (200+ hp) and Subie  
WRX engines (250+ hp) in them, however, as well as Subie 4's. There  
are specialty shops for each kind of conversion, and parts vendors  
likewize.  Westy owners are if anything more fanatical than MB owners.

I have one with a VW TD, one with a VW I-4 gasser. I like 'em both.

Dan, I think Jim was talking about the 207D Westfalia/James Cook vans. 
I don't think the weight difference between a OM615/OM616/whatever
and a OM602/OM603 are significant compared to the overall weight
of a mbz van.

I TOTALLY agree, the teardrop is to my mind a MUCH cooler trailer.

Another consideration with the teardrop is that nobody can invite themselves 
along with you...

My mother and stepfather tow a pop up camper with their 2000 Chrysler
 Town and Country minivan.  My mother drives
and they just love the 3.8L V6.

I would consider it pure hell on earth to cruise around in a minivan
 towing a pop-up trailer to go see the sights
through the western half of the country.  But, they are retired and
 they love it.  They once spent six weeks on one
of these trips.

Re: [MBZ] BMW LSD on Portland CL

2008-04-26 Thread jfreezn
Interesting!? I just happen to have a 93 E 3.2 differential in my spare parts.? 
The input flange on mine is 3 bolt pattern but maybe the spline pattern would 
permit swapping these.? the rear cover on mine is 8 bolt, and MB uses different 
covers to adapt the diff to different models.? The BMW unit looks close but no 
way to reach a conclusion from the pictures.? The rear mounting bracket appears 
to be held to the back cover with four of the cover bolts.? 
the ouput flanges look very similar in 6 bolt pattern and size.? The distance 
between the flanges also looks close.

I have photos if anyone wants to pursue this further. My diff is a open 2.65:1 
ratio, large case design.? very nice condition with dual abs sensors.? 

It is also for sale:? Complete as listed for $200, plus shipping (it weighs 82 
pounds).? According to the EPC, it fits 29 US models directly.

I heard several stories about hitting a moose at Forestry Canada  
while I was doing my post-doc there.  One fellow drove his MG midget  
UNDER one, only thing that happened was he got moose fur in the top  
clamps since the top was down.  Very lucky, it'd have been squashed  
flat if the moose had fallen other.

The other story involved our resident squeamish I couldn't kill a  
fly type having to use a fire ax to kill a moose after our resident  
lunatic Frenchman hit it -- Frenchie got sick to his somach and they  
didn't have a rifle with them, hence the fire ax.  Brad was green for  
two weeks after than, but they couldn't leave it, both front legs  
were broken.  The right corner of the truck cab as all bashed in, too.

Back when I was going to Maine on a regular basis (1st wife's home), we
lost quite a few French Canadians each year when they drove their
DUI-piloted vehicles into moose. They (not the moose) would come south to
the States to party, would party too much, and do a head-on with a moose.
Everyone seemed to lose.

Have you tried to interview Keith Richards?  I think he is a ghost.

On Fri, Apr 25, 2008 at 8:01 AM, Dan Weeks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 I think the paranormal is quite real. I've never experienced any of
 it myself, but I've heard enough from credible people--including my
 father, a Phd. physicist and sceptic who experienced one such event
 which he cheerfully admits that he can not explain rationally--to
 believe that they can occur. Certainly there is much that we don't
 know, and that our rational/scientific culture can not explain or
 even provide language or a frame of reference for, although other
 cultures--generally nonwestern--can and do.

 The problem is, in this culture anyway, paranormal stuff often
 interests people who have a deep emotional need to believe, along
 with folks who are more than happy to take advantage of them. In
 fact, there's a whole tear-jerking, feel-good TV show--I think it's
 called Ghost Whisperer, or something similar, that does exactly
 this. So a lot of dross gets mixed in with the gold, and at least
 some paranormal stuff bandied about is probably wishful thinking or
 outright fakery. But I am convinced it does exist. I'm a magazine
 article and nonfiction book writer, and for some time my career goal
 has been to interview a ghost. So far, no luck, but I remain open and
 inclined toward the possibility.

The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available 
for sale.

Buy It Now was $5500 IIRC.

[MBZ] off topic -- those stupid dogs just ruin my mood today

2008-04-26 Thread Gary Hurst
the ex wife got a little chihuaha/dachs mix, say maybe 12lbs of little dog.
sweet girl.  very mellow.  dances nicely on her hind legs.  seems to like
everyone.

the kid brings the dog over to my house today, so i suggest it would be a
good idea to have my two dogs meet the little dog.  the kid thinks it's a
bad idea.  i say this is nonsense and she whould jsut sit down on the couch
with the little dog, i'll let my 2 dogs in, everyone will sniff everyone and
all will be happy.

i open the back door and my dogs fly through the air growling, fly over the
couch and pounce on the little dog.  i don't know what the hell to do at
this point so i just dive into the pile myself to protect the little dog.  i
manage to cover the little dog like a fumbled football and push the big dogs
away.  i hand hte little dog to the kid and literally chase my dogs out of
the house in great fury.  i don't even think they knew why i was angry at
them.

the little dog was terrified, but didn't have a single scratch on her (and i
looked that dog over carefully from head to toe as i expected to find some
damage), so it doesn't seem as if the big dogs wanted to hurt her.  i wasn't
hurt in anyway beyond just a little bruising from the dogs jumping on me in
their frenzy to get at the little dog.

so, in a nutshell, wtf went on here?

Strange interloper on home turf. Would have been better to make
introductions on neutral territory, like a dog park, with the two big ones
on leash and maybe you holding the little one. I'm not sure it would be
wise to try that any time soon, though, the little one is probably very
freaked out.

You need that dog whisperer guy. 
That would have been sweet if they were there filming and they would have
caught you flying through the air to save the wee dog.
