Re: [MBZ] to sell or CEL

Because their photography provider shoots cars after they are thru recon and 
they should have been smart enough to avoid that shot. On the other hand, their 
recon people should have already taken care of it.

Re: [MBZ] The Search Continues...

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

You know, Don, I wouldn’t be against that,  The thing that is holding me back 
is having a place to do it.  I just don’t have a space where I could have a 
vehicle out of service and carved up.  I will seriously consider taking some 
metalworking classes at the local vo-tech school when retirement time rolls 
around, for sure.  I’m sure i”m capable, I just don’t have the time, space or 
resources to do it at this point in my life.

I can stick weld 1/4” - 1/2" plate with a 400A Miller buzz box all day long.  
Working with sheet metal is not something I’ve done.

 Meh. He doesn't have acreage or an airplane hangar. He has an HOA, that he 
fortunately is the president of, I think. Paint fumes and HOA don't mix. 
Neither does dust and an attached garage where SWMBO car is parked. As for 
skills, I suspect Dan is quite capable of learning them, and being proficient 
in no time.

[MBZ] The Search Continues...

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Not sure if I mentioned this, so if I did please excuse me and delete.

I am now full-bore back into a search for a Ponton, W110/W111/W108.

W110/W111, gas/diesel, auto/manual. If I had the perfect car it would be a 230S 
(67/68) with AC, but second choice would be any model year W110/W111 diesel 
with a stick, ideally a floor shifter.

W108 6 cylinder sedan, manual or auto, AC would make it perfect but I can add 
it later on, so lack of it is not a deal killer.

Late model Ponton, 180, 190, 220, etc.  Six cylinder preferred, not required.

No restoration candidates, that is, if it needs bodywork due to rust, I’m not 
interested. I could deal with a minor bubble here or there, or tired paint that 
needs to be buffed out, but no rusty rockers, fenders or door bottoms. I can do 
anything but bodywork, so that takes potential candidates right out of the 
running if they need paint or rust repair. I can do pretty much anything else, 
so if a candidate has needs in the interior or mechanical areas I would 
consider it. No major repairs, that is, I'm not looking to rebuild an engine 
for example.

I don't want a project car. I am looking for a driver quality or better car. 
I'm not expecting perfection, but I’m willing to spend up in the $10k range, so 
that weeds out a lot of potential cars if they have anything significant in the 
way of needs. I'll travel anywhere in the CONUS as long as I can find someone 
trusted to vet the car prior to purchase.

Thanks to all,

Dan

I thought something similar too but if you think about it, you will note 
that he had the car for 51 years. That works out to about 62,000 miles 
per year.
That is a lot of miles for most people but not totally out of line. It 
also said, I think, that in the early years he was commuting 125 miles 
to work so that would have given him 60,000 miles per year just driving 
to and from work.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Irv Gordon, who drove 3.2M miles in his P1800, has died

I thought something similar too but if you think about it, you will note 
that he had the car for 51 years. That works out to about 62,000 miles 
per year.
That is a lot of miles for most people but not totally out of line. It 
also said, I think, that in the early years he was commuting 125 miles 
to work so that would have given him 60,000 miles per year just driving 
to and from work.

Some blasted the move as "more academic mollycoddling"
of the snowflake generation.

The lecturer said: "We have some excellent students but
it's a constant battle against a system that wants to
treat them like little kids. We are not doing our students
any favours with this kind of nonsense."

That sounds like having “trigger words” that can’t be spoken because it will

Wow is right. Everybody looked like they were going around the curve in 
slow-mo, then this car appears out of nowhere at 180mph going backwards over 
the wall. 
She was going flat-out when the guy in front of her hit the brakes early and 
they touched wheels. 
I hope her spinal injury wasn't career ending.
