Went to see "RENT" (one of my "daughters" was dancing in the Maureen Tango number). There was a preview for some inane movie with kevin Costner and Jennifer Aniston. Kevin was driving some 108 (I think) that was much hotter than Jennifer. I'm thinking it was a 280 SE convertible. Anyone else see it?

I love sitting here and typing -- "heat it for five mote minutes with that torch, and add four feet to the cheater pipe" ! My first Mercedes, a '70 200D manny, had an electric heater in the heater hose. If you plugged it in before going to bed, the car would start in the morning at least to zero F. It had some sort of pumping action to circulate the water. You had to be sure that the heater controls were open. If tyou left the defrost on, it would keep the bottom of the windshield clear of frost (but not ice and snow). The proper block heaters are more efficient, but the other did work if you left it on long enough. I think the heater hose on the 615 engine was 5/8", not that that helps you any, but you asked for a size -- -- > > It's about _so_ big (holding up my fingers)... > > Sorry about that.
