That's way cool Barton !

Too bad it's only Down East ~ I'd love to ship my Moto across America so I could ride it elsewhere ~ I'm getting too old & beat up to ride it 3,000 miles .

[diesel_mercedes] Seasonally Appropriate Greetings !

 

Non Gender or Religeonally specific in case you're a miserable troll like whiner .

It's only four days left until Christmas , I see the NWS says there's a HUGE cold and wet storm brewing and moving from The Pacific Northwet East to dump rain and snow across most of America , batten down the hatches , mix up some egg nog and bake some Krobeli , let the kids out of the cellar and the dog up on the sofa .

My trusty Diesel Sports Coupe sports it annual wreath , this year it has a new light string with tiny LED lamps that twinkle merrily but are way too small .

The old wreaths with 3/4" tall pine cone colored lamps , died , dammit .

[diesel_mercedes] Re: importing gray market cars

 



The 25 year old rule has been going a long time before 2011 .

The problem is : some states want you to add an exhaust sensor and wire it into your Electronic Fuel Injection .

Then there's the individual inspector who maybe doesn't like the cut of your jib or red cars or old German cars , whatever , that person can really gum up the works .

Then there's the nit wits who are direct importing Range Rovers and BMC Minis , trying to call nearly new ones , 25 + years old ~ Customs has been crushing quite a few of late , not allowing you to export it again as a deterrent .

[diesel_mercedes] Re: diesel purge, fuel filters, valve adjust, oil change before trip

 



Have a SAFE TRIP Rob ! .

I was just saying to Tom this Evening , I need to find a couple quarts of Diesel Purge and do this , , a blistering hot oil change , a valve adjust and pull all the injectors and pop test them along with my spare bagful , might as well do his 300DS's too .

I looks like The Vintage Motoring Group will have a fun drive Christmas morning ~ I plan to take my metropolitan FHC .

While checking my maintenance records yesterday before an upcoming
holiday trip, I noticed that I needed an oil change and 15K service:
diesel purge, fuel filters, valve adjust, (Air filter is OK) before
leaving on the trip. A little unexpected, yet the oil change can't wait,
and the rest will make it run better.

OK, diesel purge, fuel filters were done yesterday, this morning I'll do
the valves, and change the oil after some errands. It should run pretty
good after all this, and even better after an Italian tuneup on the road.

Safe travels for everyone.
