I'm not acquainted with the referenced 300 gasser, but as a kid I drove our family's 1966 250S which was anything but slow. In fact it was a jet. My sister claimed she had it over 120 mph. It was a straight 6 with a torque curve that never ended when you wound it up. And it was smooth and quiet as a turbine, but longevity was not its strong point. Unbelievable smooth ride. I seem to recall 17 mpg as typical. The 240Z motor was a carbon copy.

Why am I getting a billion and billions of emails every day from the Mercedes group? I used to get one or two emails with about twenty letters in each. Is this some sort of protest by the web server to get rid of people on the list? List Mom would never stand for this! May she rest in peace. There were 996 emails in my mailbox today. I would say 97% were from the Mercedes Club. steve vilardi 77 Vette 89 BMW 535i 83 Mercedes 240D 96 Ford Econoline Chateau 89 Ford Econoline E-150 78 Dodge RV with 440 85 Harley Electra-Glide 85 Yamaha Riva scooter 64 Yamaha 350 two stroke A ton of bicycles Three folding bikes 1 bottle of Beefeater Gin
