When it finally does get rolling, it still has considerable mass, which will take serious brakes to decelerate, regardless of how long it took to build that speed. On Sat, Nov 13, 2021 at 10:37 PM Allan Streib via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > In a 240D, do you really need brakes? >

For the upper story remodel done two decades ago, the shower was 48x72, 4” lip, no door, slate wall, hex floor (to match the flavor of original main bath of 1927). Heated floor and second drain in the main part of the room, in case a corpse happened to cover the shower drain and water overflow

Neighbors redid their master bath. Shower has a labyrinth entrance, no door or threshold whatsoever. You need a bit of extra room to pull that off, however. Lots of tile to clean! My shower is small-ish, but has the usual 4" threshold and a glass door. Only geezer-ish feature is a full-width s

Re: [MBZ] OT - Master bathtub

My considered opinion on the issue is, the installation of a modern "walk in tub" would be much more practical. Choose one that can be used as a shower, or a tub, with a low threshold to step over. If you so choose, you can sit down and shower [or shave your legs, if you are so inclined], or use it

Agreed about the tub, totally unnecessary. We have a “soaking tub” in our house, no jets, but it’s never used. I can fold up and fit in it, but not stretch out, so I see no value. Mrs. Dan has mobility issues, so it’s difficult for her to get in/out of it. We have a walk in shower which we use

Believe it or not, Mercedes had stock on the W111 white steering wheels when I was restoring the 65 220SEb. They were closing out the stock and had discounted them down to around $500. I bought one for it, as they had been around $1200 list. I think Jaime and I cleaned them out. -D > On Nov 1
