I didn't know 727s were out of service. When did this happen? ___ GG St. Louis - Cincinnati 1997 SL500 http://homepage.mac.com/deneals/SL500.htm -Original Message- From: Peter Frederick Sent: Thursday, August 03, 2006 10:27 PM They are out of service for two reasons -- noise (minor) and severe fuel consumption problems. Not really possible to remove the center engine and rebuild the tail so you could put CFM-56's on it, and I suspect the 757/767 classes have better wings, too. Same fuselage on the 757/737 anyway, no change there. I suspect there are airflow problems with large bypass engines stuck on the sides of the rear fuselage, too -- no one has put them there since the 60's, and I don't believe any were high bypass designs, either.

A final successful candidate was chosen to edit and publish THE STAR when the current contract expires. He indicated that Toad Hall Motorbooks had sent a letter to board members stating it would not respond to the request for proposals the club had issued. [Toad Hall Motorbooks, my business, had proposed to MBCA that instead of using the method described in the request for proposals, whereby the club would effectively function as publisher the existing contract be renegotiated and extended.

[MBZ] Jeep Adding Diesel Grand Cherokee
Jeep Adding Diesel Grand Cherokee DaimlerChrysler's new Bluetec diesel engine will make its way into the Jeep Grand Cherokee in the first quarter of 2007, the company announced on Thursday. The engine, which will first be found in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class this fall, is a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 with common-rail fuel injection. While the engines will be supplied from Mercedes plants, the Grand Cherokee diesel will be assembled in Detroit by Chrysler. The Grand Cherokee will join the Liberty in Jeep's diesel lineup; Chrysler estimates it will have fuel economy 30 percent better than the gas-engine versions, with a driving range of 425 miles versus 300 miles for a gas-powered model.

My first one had all the problems of the mid-90s cars, like the bad wires etc. Fortunately, that had been resolved on my SL320. When I needed to replace that car, I searched for another 129. Mine is my daily driver. I can drive to Costco and get a month's worth of crap in the trunk. Its a comfortable driver, and gets 25mpg on the highway. I bought this car on July 10, 2003 and overpaid a little bit, but it was the best car available at the time. I traveled to Chicago to buy it, paid $23,500. I am the second owner and the car always was dealer serviced (Knauz) prior to my purchase. It had 68,945 miles on it when I bought it. Other than routine maintenance, the only large expense was Replace ACC Blower Motor & housing/blower-motor mount Replace Aux Water Pump and Center Vent Assembly In July, 2005. The aux water pump didn't really need replacement, but the dealer threw parts at the car in order to find out why my climate control didn't work. Since the aux pump had been installed, it wasn't worth it to remove. That whole event still rankles me. The whole reason I took the car to the dealer was so the problem could be professionally diagnosed. Boy was I dumb about that That episode also showed me what a fine and honest businessman Rusty is. Now the car has 103,000 miles on it, and I regularly drive between St Louis and Cincinnati with no concerns. -- +-- GG 1997 SL500 (101k) http://homepage.mac.com/deneals/SL500.htm http://homepage.mac.com/deneals +--

The CAS charges that modern keys, often embedded with chips, transistors and multiple functions, have become too costly to replace, with new keys costing hundreds of dollars-or thousands, if electronics in the car must be replaced as well. In a petition to the Federal Trade Commission, Reuters reports, the CAS charged that the auto industry's resistance to releasing computer codes stored in keys to locksmiths is an unfair trade practice. Reuters adds that law enforcement officials say current key technology has been one of the biggest theft deterrents ever made for automobiles, and that manufacturers are looking for ways to reduce key costs while keeping security levels high. -- +-- GG 1997 SL500 (101k) http://homepage.mac.com/deneals/SL500.htm http://homepage.mac.com/deneals +--

Re: [MBZ] Cheney Good, Guns Good
BT Wrong TPWD incident report pins the blame squarely on Cheney. http://online.wsj.com/public/article/washington_wire.html Monday, Feb. 13 The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's incident report on Vice President Dick Cheney's accidental shooting of a hunting partner Saturday pins the blame largely on Cheney. In evaluating "contributing factors," the game warden checked off the box: "Victim covered by shooter who was swinging on game." In its summary, the report says that 78-year-old Harry Whittington "downed a bird and went to retrieve it. While he was out of the hunting line another covey was flushed and Cheney swung on a bird and fired striking Whittington in the face, neck and chest at approximately 30 yards." Lydia Saldaña, spokeswoman for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, said Cheney would also receive a warning citation because he did not have the proper "upland game bird stamp" required to hunt quail, but that he would not be fined. The game warden's report contradicts earlier claims from the White House and Katharine Armstrong, the owner of the Texas ranch where the shooting occurred. Earlier Monday, the White House cited Armstrong's view that Whittington was at fault. "She pointed out that the protocol was not followed by Mr. Whittington when it came to notifying the others that he was there," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan. Some hunting groups chastised the vice president. "It's incumbent upon the shooter to assess the situation and make sure it's a safe shot," Mark Birkhauser, president-elect of the International Hunter Education Association, told the Associated Press. The Corpus Christi Caller-Times, the paper that first broke the story, identified the third hunter in the party as Pamela Willeford, the U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein and a former chairman of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Cheney's office would not confirm the report that Willeford was the third hunter. --Christopher Conkey On 2/14/06 11:33 AM, "Rich Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The shootee walked into the field of fire without announcing his > presence, a dumb maneuver and he should have known better or should have > stayed on the porch.

A steaming POS. We had one, for which my dad sold our '65 Mercury Park Lane. The Merc was an American luxury car, and the first time I rode in the Granada I thought it was broken. Incredibly noisy when compared to the Merc. I think that Merc had a 390 in it. I know it was pretty fast, and got sucky gas mileage. So, in fact, did the Granada. Just about the same mileage but without any of the acceleration.

[MBZ] 2.6 5 speed
So this evening my children and I went to see a 1989 190E 2.6 5-speed. Interesting narrative in the eBay ad. The guy works near my indie, so we met there. My mechanic hates ANY 190, so he wasn¹t very positive. The ad gave me the impression that this was a Euro, but the seller says its an MBUSA car that was special ordered by his dad. http://tinyurl.com/a6ljr The car has a lot of miles, and more than a few door dings. I neither drive it or rode in it. The seller ( An army SSgt who just came back from Git-Mo beating up Arabs to preserve my freedom, for which I thanked him) The car also has dull paint and some spots where the paint is almost worn through. The hood pad is missing. The engine is clean. The car has nice wheels and aftermarket booming stereo. He claims all records since new, including the window sticker. Overall, cosmetically, it was okay. I¹d call it very good when you factor in its 17 years old and has 285,000 miles on it. I told him to get the most he can thru eBay, and if any deal fell through, call me and we¹ll talk. After dinner, I get a phone call. ³The eBay price is now $3050. The wife and I decided if you want it, we¹ll sell it for $3300.² I told him I¹d let him know. Anybody want to run a Carfax for me on it?

Re: [MBZ] Looks like I have a long drive ahead of me.
It is a wise decision to get the car yourself. Having lived in Southwest Florida for several years, and having long Florida ties, I can tell you that there are a lot of scammers in Florida. I'm sure your seller is honest, but I would have less doubts if you were buying it from, say the Midwest. But scammers are everywhere. Check the frappr map for listers along the route: http://www.frappr.com/benzbunch and http://www.frappr.com/bannedmisfits Last winter I sold an extra 129 hardtop on eBay to a guy in Miami. He didn't want to meet me halfway to get the top, so he paid me to deliver it in March. I asked if I could bring it in March so I could take my highschool aged son with me. We made a great trip out of it and it only cost me about $200 out of pocket for a driving trip/bonding session with 15 year old (who had a permit and helped drive) After we dropped off the hardtop we went on to Key West and attended the Barrett-Jackson auction in Palm Beach.

[MBZ] FYI LT Don
DATE: December 30, 2005 AD #: 2006-01-51 Emergency airworthiness directive (AD) 2006-01-51 is sent to all owners and operators of Frakes Aviation (Gulfstream American) Model G-73 (Mallard) series airplanes, and Model G-73 airplanes that have been converted to have turbine engines. These airplanes were originally manufactured by Grumman. Background On December 19, 2005, the right wing of a Frakes Aviation (Gulfstream American) Model G-73 (Mallard) airplane separated from the fuselage on takeoff, which resulted in the airplane impacting the water near Miami Beach, Florida. The wing separated between the fuselage attachment and the engine attachment. This twin-engine airplane was manufactured in 1947. This particular airplane was operated in passenger service and in a salt-water environment. The airplane had accumulated over 31,000 total flight hours and over 39,000 total flight cycles. Although the cause of this accident has not yet been determined by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), preliminary indications from the investigation reveal occurrences of fatigue cracking of a wing spar, skin cracking, and a broken z-stringer. The loss of the lower skin capability, or the spar and stringer capability, will likely lead to wing failure. This condition, if not corrected, could result in structural failure of the wing and loss of control of the airplane. FAA¹s Determination and Requirements of this AD We have evaluated all pertinent information and identified an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on other airplanes of this same type design. Therefore, we are issuing this AD to prevent structural failure of the wing and loss of control of the airplane. This AD requires (1) a detailed visual inspection to detect repairs, cracking, or corrosion of the wings from wing station (WS) 77L to WS 77R, front spar to rear (main) spar; (2) removal of repairs, if found, to allow for inspection of the wing structure underneath the repairs; (3) removal of sealant from the interior of the wet bays to allow for inspection of the skins, stringers, and both spars; and (4) repair of any crack or corrosion. The inspection and repair are required to be done in accordance with a method approved by the FAA. This AD also requires sending the inspection results (both positive and negative) to the FAA. Additional Source of Service Information Operators should note that Frakes Aviation may be contacted as a source of preliminary service information as follows: Frakes Aviation, Cleburne Airport, Route 3, Box 229-B, Cleburne, TX 76031; telephone (817) 556-0700. Interim Action This AD is considered to be interim action. The inspection reports that are required by this AD will enable the FAA to obtainbetter insight into the nature, cause, and extent of the cracking, and eventually to develop final action to address the unsafe condition. Frakes Aviation may be contacted as a source of preliminary service information as follows: Frakes Aviation, Cleburne Airport, Route 3, Box 229-B, Cleburne, TX 76031; telephone (817) 556-0700. Frakes Aviation has advised the FAA that it is developing special detailed (i.e., nondestructive testing) inspection procedures that are expected to be available within 45 days. You may choose to comply with the interim action required by this AD if you must fly before the special detailed inspection becomes available. Otherwise, you may wait for the service information that is being developed by Frakes Aviation. Once that service information is available and approved, we anticipate superseding this AD to require compliance with that information. Examining the Docket You may examine the contents of this AD docket on the Internet at http://dms.dot.gov (on the next business day after we have issued the AD), or in person at the Docket Management Facility, U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street SW., room PL-401, on the plaza level of the Nassif Building, Washington, DC. This docket number is FAA-2005-23440; the directorate identifier for this docket is 2005-NM-256-AD. Authority for this Rulemaking Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA¹s authority to issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the Agency¹s authority. We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ³General requirements.² Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

"It's lucky they weren't in an Iltis," said Scott Taylor, editor of /Esprit de Corps/ military magazine, referring to the open-top jeeps once used by Canada's military in Afghanistan. The soldiers and a British journalist were injured yesterday when a roadside bomb exploded near their G-Wagon -- an enclosed vehicle with armour plating and thick, shock-resistant windows. One soldier suffered a broken leg, another had a broken ankle and foot. Military officials believe the bomb was an improvised explosive device. The blast struck as the Canadians patrolled near the town of Maywand, about 90 kilometres west of Kandahar, where some 250 Canadian soldiers run a provincial reconstruction team.The vehicle's front end was crushed, but the rest, including windows and passenger compartment, remained intact. "They probably would have been killed" had they been patrolling in an Iltis, said Taylor. "There's absolutely no protection on an Iltis whatsoever." An American helicopter evacuated two of the soldiers to a U.S. field hospital at Kandahar. Col. Steve Bowes, commander of the Canadian operation in Kandahar, said the third soldier and the journalist walked away with minor injuries and went back to work. The military was not releasing any names. Next of kin have been notified. The soldiers were members of the 3rd battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, based in Edmonton, said Capt. Brian Hillier. The journalist, Tim Albone of Global Radio News, which has 500 independent journalists working worldwide, said he believes the armour of the Mercedes G-Wagon prevented even worse injuries to himself and the soldiers. "I'm convinced that is what, and in fact that is what the soldiers say, saved our lives," Albone told CBC Newsworld. The Defence Department awarded a $130-million contract to Mercedes-Benz Canada in 2003 for 802 Gelaendewagens, or G-Wagons, and 150 Armour Protection Systems for the vehicles. The military later bought more of the vehicles and armour kits, bringing the total to 1,159 by late last year. The initial order came after two Canadian soldiers died when their Iltis struck a landmine near Kabul. Sgt. Robert Short and Cpl. Robbie Beerenfenger were killed instantly on Oct. 2, 2003 while patrolling a dirt road near Camp Julien, the base camp for Canadians in Afghanistan until it closed two weeks ago. In another incident, Cpl. Jamie Murphy died and three soldiers were seriously injured when a suicide bomber jumped on their Canadian Forces Iltis in January 2004 on a Kabul street. The aging fleet of Bombardier-made Iltis jeeps had long been criticized as offering virtually no protection for Canada's soldiers in world hotspots. While it's not heavily armoured, the G-Wagon was welcomed by the military as a vehicle that could better protect soldiers, even if it didn't lend itself well to Canada's so-called "hearts-and-minds" strategy of winning support of the locals in Afghanistan by being approachable during patrols. The G-Wagon is designed to protect soldiers from small arms fire, hand grenades as well as anti-personnel land mines, and military officials say they are pleased with how the vehicle has performed under fire."We have a great deal of confidence in this vehicle," said Maj. Daryl Morrell. ___ For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net

(about 65 miles west of downtown St. Louis on I-44) About a year or more ago, I met a fellow at the Sullivan airport with a W123. He also informed me of the existance of this club. http://club123d.org There seems to be a lot of words but not much information. Puzzling. It so happens that I have more than a 1/2 dozen W123 diesels - but I _still_ haven't figured out why I would want to belong to a "Exclusive club for W123 chassis cars"!! Silver membership is $25 per car per year. http://club123d.org/page11.html Here's another humorous page - for next years W123 car show! http://club123d.org/events/page23.html Maybe I'm an anti-social, stuckup hillbilly, but I'd rather send my $25 to Rusty and actually _get_ something for my money!! Besides, I don't have time to teach someone else all the stuff I've learned from this list and it's ancestors... Oh, and those two guys I meet who are so eager to promote their club were _very_ eager to have me join. Smells fishy to me. Philip, who likes Kaleb's "club"

I'm willing to bet it wasn't the seller who pulled it. It was pulled right after I sent eBay what I thought about this seller.

I wrote him thru eBay to ask questions. He replied outside of eBay with a form letter which did not address any of my questions. (the letter is copied below) He's been an eBay member for a couple of years, but has no feedback. In his form letter, he mentions an escrow type service thru eBay, but as I understand it eBay does not have its own escrow service. And the pricing he mentions is out of line for that car. Also, in the letter he says he is the original owner, which contradicts what he says in the eBay listing. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 02, 2005 8:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Question for item #4594459549 - Mercedes-Benz : 200-Series Hello, The car is located in Tulsa, OK. It has all the papers(complete) as well as the servicebook. I want this transaction to be smooth enough as I am caught in the middle of some very important events and have very few time at my disposal. The car is in perfect condition, no scratches, no special marks, no need for additional repairs what so ever. I am the first owner of the car and it has no accident or any engine problem. The price is $10,000 including shipping costs anywhere in the continental US. There are no other costs regarding this transaction. Now, in order to be able to buy it please let me know if you have any negative feedback and, if this is the case, for what reason. I apologize for asking for such information but I need to be sure. Please also provide me with the following details necessary to take a decision: -your full name and address for shipping -your ph# Regarding payment I am aware of the buyer's protection and we will use eBay Motors secure payments. I require a deposit for $2.000 with eBay Motors which will hold it until the buyer receives the car. Deposit is refundable if you do not accept the car. To complete payment the you must have cash available. Thank you. ___ Deneal Schilmeister -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 02, 2005 9:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SP NOTICE: eBay Ask Seller a Question or Contact eBay Member Alert Dear deneals ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Our records indicate that you recently sent an email to or received an email from ballardbren through the eBay email system (for example, you may have sent an email to this member through Ask Seller a Question or received an email from this member through Contact eBay Member).
