Ex military unimog with a field radar, or field radio van body, look like. To buy it, you must first sign on to the list for a kidney transplant, because if you drive it, you will need both replaced.. Brutal is too kind, to describe ride quality.

I'm figuring the chances of making any money on my 240D are also quite small although I don't think I'm in for $1000 yet...

Re: [MBZ] Convertible?
BTW, one of my pet peeves is the 450 SL owners who call their cars convertables [sic]. They are wrong on two counts: spelling and the fact that SLs are roadsters. I always thought that it was the presence of the bolt-on coupe hardtop that made it 'convertible': from coupe to roadster and back. The point was stretched long ago to include the folding soft top as well. The true roadsters I always thought were equipped, at best, with a tonneau cover. Flying goggles, trench coats, and long scarves too. But I'm willing to be wrong! -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] Convertible?
Roadsters are two seaters, convertibles 4 place. But then, what do you call an SL with the kinder seat option? My 107 and current 129 has a tonneau cover, made by California Car Cover.

Oh crap. So even the W113 pagoda 230 SL is a cabriolet? On 2/7/07, Jim Cathey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Roadsters are two seaters, convertibles 4 place. But then, what do you call an SL with the kinder seat option? We call the SL's rear 'seat' area the 'bucket'. Wiki's opinion: Roadster is the North American term for a 2-seater without a permanent top and without rollup windows (if it has rollup windows it is a cabriolet, not a roadster), and the windshield is bolt on rather than integrated as in modern cars. Even with the lightweight convertible top raised and the clear plastic windows snapped in, the driver and passenger remain somewhat exposed to the elements. Convertible is an abbreviation of convertible coupe or convertible sedan which in 1920s-30s parlance indicated that the car had roll-up side windows instead of removable windows (usually called sidecurtains in America). In modern times, the word is often used to describe a two-seat convertible without fixed window frames, especially a light-weight sports car. Most modern day production roadsters only meet one of the three criteria. Here, the use of the name roadster is more a marketing gimmick than a technical label, invoking the feeling of an open-top machine for enjoyment, like those of the past. Also: In the 19th century a coupé was a closed four-wheel coach, cut (coupé) to eliminate the forward, rear-facing passenger seats, with a single passenger seat behind the driver... ___ http://www.okiebenz.com 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://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
