So once again I've picked up my 190D from the Indy. Some of you might remember
how it wouldn't shift into reverse. My Indy took the shifter all apart, cleaned
out 21 years of crud and replaced the shift bushings. That took it from a super
sloppy "mystery shifter" (you shift and hope the gear you get is the one you
wanted) to a normal good shifting car. The reverse gate now works exactly as
I'd expect it to, slide to the right, push down, pull back. 5th is now very
easy to get into as well which is good I'm sure my fuel mileage was suffering
by my not shifting into it before.
ALSO now the shifter doesn't lean so far to the side in 1st and 5th so I can
hook the boot to the base without it pulling the base up, nice.
I like driving this car so much I'm now thinking I should turn down Fred's
offer of a set of used seat bottoms and instead invest in brand new seat
bottoms and pads for that new seat feel.

Have had a few people request to move the okieq date back a week to the
weekend of June 24th. Before I move it I want to make sure somebody who
has already planned to come for the original date is not going to have a
problem changing the date. If anybody has already made arrangements to
come on the 17th and cant change then let me know by the end of the day.
If nobody speaks up I am going to change it to the 24th. As I said,
since the date was already set, if you have made plans aleady let me
know, I will not change it on you. Those who want it changed will just
be out of luck.
Also, Rusty says Jabba and himself will be here. That in itself makes
it a DO NOT miss event!!
