Zoltan, Back in the 50s and 60s in when I was a youngster riding in my parents 219 and 250S, the standard Mercedes greeting in the U.S. was to give a couple beeps of the horn on the infrequent occasion when another Mercedes was sighted. The quaint custom died after the cars became more common. Bruce

The thought occurred to me: The other types of vehicles that I have been into in my life have been sort of specialized, and as such, when you happen upon another one, you give a nod or a quick friendly gesture (as in the Mopar "thumbs-up", or the Harley (or really any motorbike) nod or wave). As our Mercedes' flew past eachother, I felt the urge to give some sort of signal, so I just nodded slightly. Eh, maybe Merz isn't rare enough to do that. Maybe I should reserve it for 123s. I know that when I pass another classic 900 Saab when driving mine, I sometimes get an acknowledgement. I think I just may be an entirely too friendly person. Come to think of it, I know that bus drivers wave at eachother. What about semi-truck drivers? Probably too many of them on the road to do that.

After running straight bio for several months I noticed that the delivery valves were weeping, and when I tightened one of them, the car ran noticeably better, especially the idle. I really ought to torque them down correctly but I seem to recall some special tightening sequence was needed.
