Kaleb, It's about 3 1/2 hours-175 miles from Goddard Park to Portland ME. Depends on how far downeast or up north you are in Mane as Portland is really southern Maine. But the picnic site is only 10/15 miles off I 95 so if you were going through, it would be an easy stop..

This year's ChowdaQ blew all expectations, 10 MB's (2 of "other" marques) with 15 people. We even had 3 previous unknowns from the PeachParts gang. We had our wides variety of chow yet, Dwight started us off with A1 Chowda, Fred brought the greens and I cooked up a variety of meats including terriaki beef skewers, chicken kabobs, burgers, hot dogs and spicy moose sausage (no joke!) Tom rounded out the day with fresh espresso to settle our stomachs. Awards we given for jalopys, not so jalopys, story telling expertise and cooking expertise (that might be a stretch) complete with impressive trophys Burt provided. Door prizes included a polo shirt donated by Rusty, a copy of "The Star and the Laurel" from Dwight and a new in box MB hood star from Fred.

Fellow Stargazers, Mark Sept 8 2012 in your calendar for the Fifth Annual New England MB ChowdahQ. Once again it will be held at Goddard Park in Warwick RI. Again we will have prizes from our sponsor Rusty Cullens of BuyMBparts Inc., Curt's famous grill offerings, RI clamcakes, and several other surprises that are in the planning stages. As always it will be a day of great food, good fun, hood raising, and telling stories about our beloved Benzes. Our long distance offer still stands-if you fly into Providence airport, we will meet you at the airport with your own Benz to drive for the day. Stay tuned for more details later this summer.

Dimitri, The 'official' start time is around 10 AM when we roll out the Dunkin Donuts and coffee. We eat about 1PM. If you needed to leave sooner the Chowdah will be ready early as I make it the night before. We usually end about 4PM. We are not far off I 95-between Exits 5 & 6 in RI. I think I would do 6 but see what Google maps and GPS say. Here is the address. 1095 Ives Road, East Greenwich, RI 02818-4625 Hope you can make it.

[MBZ] A request
Could these OT political topics please have an OT subject line? I am interested in 300SD's not Ted Kennedy.

It's sorta like was there a shooter on the grassy knoll in Dallas. It's easy to make a story with the "facts" as you want them to be. Did Officer Look really run Kennedy's car off the road causing the accident? How did officer Look see into the back seat of a car backing up with both backup lights and taillights on shining into his face? And it goes on and on. I like the TV series Castle, but I don't think those writers could come up with good of a story. Why Mary feels the need to protect a Kennedy after so many years is a puzzle in itself. Maybe she knows more than the story tells. How could Mary Jo stay asleep in the back seat after it ran off the road per Officer Look and being bounced around...unless she was already dead and the attempted coverup was afoot. Women at these types of parties sometimes die from various causes, and leaving her in the water so long could help to "wash away" evidence. I don't buy this story any more than I bought Ted's at the time. But it does make for interesting reading. And Joan was really supportive of Ted in his presidential run. Remember she came back to him with the possibility of being the First Lady and as soon as Ted was out of the running, Joan was gone. I think Joan knew Ted better than we do.

[MBZ] fuel filter washer leaks
Yes-that 78 240D seems to need a new washer every time-we had trouble with that since my brother bought it. That said, in the last two weeks I have had friends who had leaks on top of filters for OM617's -usually can't torque it away. I carry spares in glove box. Yesterday my friend found some copper washers at a FLAPS. I usually order a few from Rusty. Question Rusty-why don't they include the washers with the filters?

On the fuel leak don't discount the metal washer under the bolt that holds the filter. My '78 240D was leaking there recently, the washer looked just fine but swapping in the disreputable looking one from my '83 parts car solved the issue. I'm sure Rusty can supply such a thing. -Curt Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2011 22:53:51 -0400 ___ 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] Current Mobil-1 ATF, is it appropriate for older trans
Allan, Like you I have used Mobil 1 ATF in older MB automatics. I don't know specs -seems like a lost cause thread anyway-but I went last week to get some Mobile 1 ATF for my new 300 CD and noticed they now had two versions-the old fully synthetic ATF and the newer Mobil 1 synthetic for Dexron- bottle said 2007 and newer so I am putting the regular Mobil 1 synthetic in my 300CD. My 79 240D had Mobil 1 ATF in for about 80K miles and it worked great-esp. with all the torque from that engine. Also just changed the fluid in my 90 300D and replaced the Mobil 1 that was put in 70K miles ago. I notice shift differences esp. smother cold first shifts in winter. My CD needs some tranny healing so I trying the magic elixir as the fluid in there has been in for long time and the car sat before I got it. I am a believer.

I've used Mobil-1 ATF in the past in my W123 300D, with no issues, but wondering if anything's changed recently.
