First my father-in-law committed suicide the week of Christmas 2004. My wife was named Executrix of the estate and it has been pure hell dealing with groveling siblings the last 8 months. Then our son got married in July and once again Mama was stressed to the max. And finally, we were told last month that my wifes 48 year old brother has 3 to 4 months to live. So Needless to say she and I are kinda worn out. We have decided to skip one year for the RustyQ, so we can settle down and gain some control in our lives. I am very sorry since this would have been our 8th cookout. I can promise that next year will be a GREAT one. If anyone wants to step up and have a gathering in lieu of this one please come forward.

Re: [MBZ] Question
You have a few of your facts wrong. I cant comment on the vets list deal as I do not know a thing about that. mbz.org was started when Richard, Gary, myself, and some other folks got kicked off the Hitler (Ritter/Easley) list. I cant say when Rusty got involved with mbz.org but I know it was not at the beginning but was pretty early on. Rusty did sponsor that list. As far as this list goes, myself and my company Okiebenz are the only sponsors here. All operating costs come out of my pocket. Just to clarify Rusty is not a sponsor at this time but is a VERY valued parts supplier and a good personal friend. Other than that you are correct. Do appreciate your appreciation of me(if that makes any sense). Kaleb Loren Faeth wrote: Actually, the list started as Mercedes-Veterans list and was started by Alex Gabard of Switzerland. Richard agreed to administer the list for Alex, then commandeered it. Richard started mbz.org, and owns that domain name. That has been the source of all the problems. I realize it takes some time to administer a list, but not an inordinate amount. Besides, Richard only administered the list for a short time. He splintered it into various lists and then got an UNPAID volunteer to administer each list. Kaleb has graciously agreed to provide us a means to continue the list. Rusty has graciously provided funding to keep the MBZ.org list alive for several years (at exorbitant (extortion) rates) and continues to support this list financially. Personally, I think it is unfair to say anything unkind about Rusty or Kaleb on this list, given the time and money they donate for the rest of us.

The mbz.org lists were started when Richard, along with several other people, got themselves 'banned' from the Ritter/Easley list. The two are completely independent of each other. The first mbz.org list was actually what came to be known as the Banned list. Yes, you are correct. Richard agreed to administer the list for Alex, then commandeered it. Disinformation. Richard did not 'comandeer' lists, nor is it technologically possible to do so. If a list owner was not keeping it up a list, or had lost interest in continuing to do so (a very common occurrence, as mailing list admin requires both time and patience, and never ends), Richard would take it over with their approval, and bring it under mbz.org. I guess in that case I 'comandeered' mbz.org Sure, Richard used volunteers as list admins. I have a rough idea what the Bimby sponsorship amounted to, wise, and if you want to suggest that Richard could have made money off it, while also paying list admins, then please teach my accountant your math before my next tax return. There seems to be some suggestion in these exchanges, that Richard only had interest in lists that he could dig money out of Bimby to subsidize. Maybe someone would care to explain, therefore, why Richard also hosted lists for Rover cars and tropical fish, among other things, as well, though last time I checked Bimbyparts has no interest in either. Rusty has graciously provided funding to keep the MBZ.org list alive for several years (at exorbitant (extortion) rates) and continues to support this list financially. Disinformation. Rusty does NOT support Kaleb's lists in any way, shape or form, unless such an agreement for support has taken place in the last few days (and I imagine we would have heard about it). Correct again. We love having Rusty here as a valuable resourse but he does not sponsor these lists at this time. That would be up to Rusty and Gary to decide. Rusty's presence on lists is for business advantage. That is fine. He contributes parts expertise from time to time, and is kind enough to host parties for list participants. No one, including me, has any objection to that (and such participation is refused on many, if not most, car lists by the way). Bimby sponsored the mbz.org lists. True. However, Bimby did not 'own' them, in any way shape or form. To the best of my knowledge, it isn't even legally possible. Rusty's main agreement with Richard was for the original portal to buymbparts.com, linked off mbz.org, AND (probably most importantly) to use Richard's expertise in keeping Bimby appearing in the Google top ten of search results for mercedes parts. Fooling with coding to 'optimize' Google's results is specialized knowledge, and it does not come cheap. Whatever Rusty and Richard agreed to, for fees, was between them. Surely if Richard's fees were extravagant, as a competent businessman Rusty would have sought out the same service, elsewhere, for cheaper? And in any case, the buymbparts pages moved from Richard's server at least a year ago, did it not? Anyone who has spent more than five minutes in the world of business knows that there are two sides (maybe more) to every story like this. So my point is, this was and continues to be a disagreement or dispute between Rusty and one of his suppliers. To discuss it here, especially without the 'other side' being provided the opportunity to rebut, is just plain ignorant.

Assuming you have a shop doing it, a really competent painter should be able to look at the paint and match his mix to how your car looks now. If you are doing it yourself, then call around and find a paint supplier who has a portable 'scanner' for paint. They were ultra-high-end last time I had my car done (2000) but I think they are more common now. The scanner will 'read' your car's color and spit out the nearest code(s) it can find. For example, we had a similar conundrum with my w116 SD, which was somewhere between nautical and china blue -- yet was coded as blue/green. The painter took it to his supplier, who scanned it and discovered someone had repainted it with a Rolls Royce blue. We returned it to original. Hope this helps.

Good points, to add to this.. need a sealer applied, then the base coat, and clear coat for deep of look clear coat is not necessary ... just the slightest roughness on the surface or uneven surface will show enough to make you say, like I did, it is a art to paint a car .. my paint job looks good from 3 meters away, but closer you can see the @*#$ suggest you do a small area at a time and get the experience, then you'll paint it all over again .

Real cool part is they know they have a boy/girl friend, but have no idea who it is.

Before that, she was living in her mind in Yakima, where she grew up, when it was a white town.

I'd be willing to let it go for $600 and am even flexible from there. I believe that, at the very least, one could part this car out and get a substantial return on their investment. When I could turn the key on it, it ran very well for me. I am sad to have to see it go, but we have grown our separate ways... c'est la vie.

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Digest, Vol 4, Issue 77
Hi Bill, Like I said before, or rather like I ment before but may not have articulated very well, if you compare them most cameras in the consumer-prosumer space will have very similar image quality. Good quality lenses are not terribly expensive now and all cameras from one manufactuerer will use one tape mechanism or very close to the same mechanism. So the differences are limited to the specifics of the glass and the size and number of chip(s) used to create the picture. More and larger chips give a more crisp picture and better low light, but in daylight or with good studio lights setup they're really all about the same. When evaluating what camera to get think about where you're going to be shooting, is it mostly outside in the sun or inside at events? At night Sony's Nightshot is pretty amazing. It looks decidedly odd but it can see in cases where even alot of people can't. The quality suffers but its the difference between getting the shot and not getting the shot. Many news organizations now use highend prosumer cameras to reduce cost since the cameras are everybit as good for what they do as the much more expensive units they've used in the past. -Curt Date: Thu, 08 Sep 2005 20:41:20 -0400 From: Bill Gallagher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT-video camera To: Mercedes mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Color bars and the like are shown beside each camera for the reader to compare . it is not a word comparison but bar, graphic, and the like technical in nature with examples and explains/shows clearly DAYLIGHT SHOT compared .. if the light is changed i.e. sun set the clear winner is $3,000 camera which is well designed for a RANGE of Light conditions The two camera have very close overlapping quality within a small range, in this case, Daylight ..

As much as I am a Question Authority sort of individual, I must side with the Navy on this one.

Happens all the time, but you must let those responsible for assigning airframes know where you are and what you are doing.

Re: [MBZ] hard to start cold
Hey Mike, Yes there is a thermostat controlled flap. I have yet to attach the chimney to the exhaust heater though so it's getting ambiant air from both. Are you thinking that the flap may be acting as an extra choke? I'll check the vacuum as soon as I can find a replacement idle stop solenoid. The wire broke right at the solenoid :( Anybody know what other cars uses a solenoid similar to a 72 250 m130 w/ Zenith 32/40 INAT carbs? Anyone? Thx. George -- Original message -- George, I don't remember if there was a thermostat-controlled flap in the air snorkel on your car or not. If so, it may not be open. I agree with Peter that it sounds like a new air filter, but you might be able to verify by reading vacuum from a port above the throttle plates, with air cleaner on and off.

Re: [MBZ] WTB the control box that makes V12 run like a 6cyl.
If it's anything like the BMW V12, there are two separate computer boards, one for each cylinder bank. The BMW uses the same engine management parts as their 6-cyl engines use, just in tandem. The bank controllers don't talk to each other and are removable, held into circuit board carriers with securing tabs. Anyone who's ever worked on a mini or mainframe (or an Apple Lisa) would recognise this setup. This is PURE speculation, but you might want to see if a computer from an E300 would do it (if you have easy access to a later E300 or S300). You may also want to see if swapping boards between banks moves the problem around. Then you can try to source just the requisite board from Bosch instead of the whole computer from MB. D.

At least I think I remember seeing that on the Hornet a friend had. That was the eagle. Two engine options, 258 2bbl or a 2.5L four (depending on year, it was either the pontiac 151 or the AMC 150). In addition to the wagons (have two with sticks and a parts wagon), they made four door sedans, two door hatchbacks (called an SX4, had one with a five speed), and two door sedans (sometimes called a kammback, think 4wd gremlin). Absolutely unstoppable in the snow, and actually a fairly decent car to drive. My 84 with a dead fifth gear would still get 22-24 mpg on the freeway. It was my daily driver before the crown vic, which preceeded the flock of diesels. K

Yellow with a V8 and 4 speed. Remember the Hornet? Very uncommon engine and trans option for the gremlin (even hornet), usually the v8 was an automatic, or that failing, a three speed, since the four speed was virtually non-existent with the demise of the javelin. Vividly remember the hornet, have two wagons (sportabouts), both with v8/automatics. The tan one needs a transmission now, but before that was quite the little sleeper. The green one I don't drive much it's one of the limited edition gucci interior ones. Anyone interested in reliving an acid trip they were on in the early seventies, check out: http://www.punk.net/~kevin/gucci1.jpg http://www.punk.net/~kevin/gucci4.jpg But seriously, can't we be talking about wacky paint schemes on W109s or something? It's pretty sad when a Mercedes list is getting off on how weird AMC/Rambler/Vega/Pinto/etc were... K

Re: [MBZ] Please chime in
Back in the 60´s I had a 250GTE coupe for a few years and the tune up consisted of changed the four sets of points, dual distributors dual points, plus 12 new plugs, so I am curious about a Italian tune up by a Italian stalion like Marshall?
