Friend at the Orlando German Club has a Thing that he painted WWII camouflage. Set up seats as close to Kübelwagen as possible and all the tools on the outside. Former US Army armored command colonel posted to Germany most of his career. MG Curley McLain via Mercedes wrote: Last weekend, I saw a nice silver 300D ripping down the road. A couple days later I heard, then saw a Thing, still running. That is unusual. BMWs:A very nice /2 probably an R50/2 or a R60/2 You can't tell from the outside. Beautiful, and correct.

Re: [MBZ] sightings
Off lease which is about 4 years or so, will be on the used section of the dealers lot for a bit. But 7-8 years old, they are gone. Used independent dealers will keep older cars, but still, there are very few of them for the numbers of new cars being sold and used here. Also, our emission requirements sends a lot of post '88 cars to the crusher now. Pre '88 are exempt, but most of these which are rare, are very well kept, or Mother nature has reclaimed them naturally. ;-) Ed 300E On 11 December 2010 10:36, Allan Streib str...@cs.indiana.edu wrote: Dealer trade-ins here that are too old or worn out even for the second-tier used dealers but worth more than scrap are often sent down to Mexico, I've heard.
