Re: [MBZ] Maui being an island and all...
SWMBO and I have done the Road to Hana (TRTH) several times. I am guessing that the saddle road refers to the road going west from Kahului and approaching Hana from the west. That route is faster but more difficult than TRTH. Did TRTH most recently a few months back, and they have improved it considerably over the years. Our first trip there a few years ago we flew into a possible tsunami. Our pilot told us we might have to RTB if the tsunami materialized. We made it to Kahului ok, but all the rental cars had been moved to high ground and the only vehicle available was a full-sized P/U. That was quite a challenge to thread through the tight turns onto one-lane bridges (there are 59 bridges on this route!). But the trip is well worth the challenging drive.

Re: [MBZ] Maui being an island and all...
Firs week da bess, Bra! We have just come back from a couple of weeks in Hawaii. We spent the first week on Hawaii at Kailua-Kona and the second on Oahu in Honolulu. We did not get a chance to get out of Honolulu but I can tell you that the road from Kailua-Kona on the west side about midway down the island to Hilo on the east side and then from Hilo north on the big island is an interesting drive. Back accross the north and down the west side is not quite as good. Randy On Oahu: Too bad you didn't get across the pali. Agnes Bake shop is worth the trip, even if you have to pay a taxi. Much cheaper just to ride da Bus on the 56 or 57 route to downtown Kailua. Circle Island bus route is interesting too. Not many tourists go to Waimanalo, but the 55 route will take you there. Honolulu, and Waikiki in particular, is NOT Hawaii. Get out of Honolulu to see Hawaii. I don't mind working in Honolulu, but I never wanted to live there. On Hawaii: The part of the drive from Kailua through Kealakekua and Honaunau to the south is the twisty part I was referring to. South of Honaunau. It was always a fun drive to Kailua and home, except in the dark with pouring rain. And, yes the drive north from Hilo up the windward coast is nice too. Those are my favorites. One of the bridges there is supported by two trusses of the old iron railroad bridge at Hilo that was washed out in the tidal wave of 1946. My uncle was the county engineer who designed that and made it happen. There is a park down under the bridge, and you can look up at the spans and see the old railroad bridge. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] OT: Chimney
Respectfully suggest a skim coat of drywall over paneling is not viable. Wood paneling absorbs moisture and skim coat will release from the wood in a very nasty way. 1/2 inch drywall sheets with moisture barrier paper back screwed to the wall over the paneling will work, but I would much rather [if it were my place] remove the paneling and go to studs/drywall. While the wall is open, pay attention to insulation leaks and any wiring issues that need attention. Do it right, do it once.. Grant...

A quicker and less expensive alternative is to paint the panelling. Good idea to sand it lightly first. It actually can look pretty good.

Re: [MBZ] 10 Cars You Can Bet Will Be Classics (NOW HAS BENZ CONTENT)
Well, I made a mess of it. The replacment I gave my indy is for the later model. Should have gotten the 043 instead. I have a dead injector. #6 is not performing, though it is getting good signal.
