Found some car club plaques. Interesting enough there is one from Colville, my home town for the past 30+ years, I will have to run this by my pals that have had classic cars around here. Max
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh? I must know there is a connection somewheres. Right? You grow tomatoes when you could, can. Hey Rob, I am jealous of your array, some kind of tax rebate? I don't file sooo, I'm out of that. I have several Keyoreca's but no where's near where what you got on yer roof. Max

I must reiterate - these things are great for wiping down everything under the hood, inside the body, your grimy bundt wheels. When I wash the car and dry it down, I always clean 2 or 3 square feet. They are perfect for the job.

Yes , they can be done and safely but at serious labor cost .
In time , all but a very dedicated few will begin to skip steps or cut corners and then the engine blows , it's always the car's fault , never the lazy person's .
Me , I'm lazy , old & broken plus cranky so I don't want to waste my time on it .

They are relatively inexpensive compared to the vegtherm and can be placed
where they can do the most good. Lawrence Rhodes.....
We had a banana in the front yard a couple of blocks from you back in the 50's, so yes I believe you when you say you have them out back. Plaque's, we will have to figure that out. I will post a pic of the one I have just for kicks. Max

Max et al,
We have planted a bunch of things in the garden, over 100 different
varieties of fruit trees/plants. They call this area the banana belt, as
it gets more sun/heat then right on the coast, yet few frosts, compared
with more inland areas. Yes, we have bananas out back.
The plaques sound fun, what would thay have on them?
diesel_mercedes yahoo group
Diesel Mercedes Owners
The MB Star, or bunt cake wheel
Maybe some valve adjustment wrenches
If there was an image of a car, which model? (123 body?)
If we 1st know the components we want on the plaque, then it's easier to
put them together into a cohesive whole.

Nickle iron batts are the bomb. Scotties Castle has a bank of them in use that was installed in the 1920's. They are expensive but for stationary applications will last the rest of your life.

I was burning up to 50% WVO / petro D in my 6V92 bus engine when one piston stopped. I do not think it had anything to do with the SVO, but it cost me $12,000 and 6 weeks hard work to install a used replacement motor. I can find $500 to fill the tank (on a good day) but cannot risk the motor with alternate fuels. I would burn Bio diesel in a heart beat.
BTW if you are going to burn WVO why not set up a wash tank to take out any water soluble contaminants such as sugar and salt?.

It's a sign of the times that we are living through, but in cites beggars are popping up everywhere. I thought I would relate to you their latest technique to pry you loose from your hard earned money in hope that you will be better prepared than I was to their willy ways.
So this guy comes up to me as I am making my way into a store. He is holding an empty gas can, ask me for a dollar, says he is out of gas. I hesitated, but then gave him a dollar. I did not feel good about my donation because something told me that I had just played into a scam.
Not quiet into the store I needed to walk past this person with no legs sitting quietly in his wheel chair just at the entrance. He made no attempt to solicit anything, yet I found myself giving him a 20 and feeling entirely good about my donation.
After a little while in the store I made my way back to my car, and just on the other side of the parking lot I saw the guy with the gas can, running up to some other unprepared person with the same story he had used to fleece me. I was not happy to watch this repeat performance.
So, don't say you have not been warned about these donations that you can be compelled to make that leave you feeling empty and taken.

Nate,
I know that you contend that the 123's will never go up much in value but I am beginning to wonder about that. It is twice a week, at least that someone comes up to me wanting to buy my coupe.
Several years ago I can remember thinking that these were the ugliest car that Mercedes ever made, but now that look is starting to grow on me. Maybe that is because I have come to realize the intrinsic value of reliability, endurance and low operational cost?
I count myself pretty good at spotting those cars that are moving up the appreciation latter. I have a string of those that I have sold just before they made their move. I also sold my Apple stock now too many years back for $37 bucks.
So my report of coming escalation of price with 123's comes from a deep place of knowledge and experience. I've just got the hunch that these babes are going to take off soon.
Just every now and then I'll spot my car in the parking lot as I am coming out of a store and I catch myself thinking, "That's a good looking car."
It's kind of like that girl that you have been with for awhile and you catch her coming across the room and you think to yourself, "I'll keep her for awhile longer."
