Re: [MBZ] WOW, nice finny
You might regret some other purchases/things that happen after you win, but you won't regret owning a fin car. They are great driving cars and have LOTS of character. Besides, think of how many badges you can display on that cast aluminum grill. No plastic there! You could even get a one-off special powerball badge for it At 08:36 PM 9/20/2006, you wrote: My second purchase after winning PowerBall. No, wait, my third. D.

Re: [MBZ] WOW, nice finny
the allure of the Heckflossens Personally, I just think they're really nice to look at. They have a certain panache to them. The allure is CHARACTER, the BIG aluminum grill, simplicity, reliability, fewer moving (breaking) parts, GREAT heater system and GREAT defroster that does not force high heat and high fan speed just to keep the fog off the window, Neat vertical cylinder Speedometer, a great hand operated parking brake the really works, a great huge steering wheel, and if you look for one, you can find a full circle horn ring that allows you to emit road runner calls (beep beep) with the flick of your wrist with both hands on the wheel! Models from 62-65 have the sexy fender-mounted turn signals Sexy 4 speed column shift. On occasion, you can find one with a full bench seat in front. Great visibility when driving, Great front/rear balance. Want me to go on? Any schmuck with money can buy a 111,112, 108, 109 and a slew of other high end models, but the 110s are owned and maintained only by the true believers in the MB brand, who work on their own cars. Less is more Mies van der Rohe Loren (have 2 110s, and 4 110/111 junkers) Have owned several others Loren Faeth From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Sep 21 02:58:44 2006 Received: from nz-out-0102.google.com ([64.233.162.203]) by server8.arterytc8.net with esmtp (Exim 4.52) id 1GQElw-g0-FG for Mercedes@okiebenz.com; Thu, 21 Sep 2006 02:58:44 + Received: by nz-out-0102.google.com with SMTP id i11so267533nzi for Mercedes@okiebenz.com; Wed, 20 Sep 2006 19:58:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.65.59.20 with SMTP id m20mr17658928qbk; Wed, 20 Sep 2006 19:58:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.64.249.3 with HTTP; Wed, 20 Sep 2006 19:58:42 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2006 21:58:42 -0500 From: OK Don [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mercedes Discussion List Mercedes@okiebenz.com, SL Discussion List [EMAIL PROTECTED] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline X-Antivirus-Scanner: Clean mail though you should still use an Antivirus Subject: [MBZ] Tires for SLC X-BeenThere: mercedes@okiebenz.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.7.cp2 Precedence: list Reply-To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com List-Id: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes_okiebenz.com.okiebenz.com List-Unsubscribe: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] List-Archive: /pipermail/mercedes_okiebenz.com List-Post: mailto:mercedes@okiebenz.com List-Help: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] List-Subscribe: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2006 02:58:44 - I'm going to be replacing the after market wheels on the '78 SLC with stock 14 bundt wheels.
