It was in the driveway this morning next to the 040 Black 350SDL. Clearly green. -D > On Jul 11, 2017, at 10:51 AM, Craig via Mercedes > wrote: > > On Tue, 11 Jul 2017 09:41:23 -0400 Meade Dillon via Mercedes > wrote: > >> On my monitor, it

Re: [MBZ] Escape From Okie Acres

On my monitor, it is clearly green and not black. Judging from past comments by Andrew on the colors of car photos online, I suspect either a color calibration problem on his set up, or color-blindness brought on by global warming. - Max Charleston SC On Tue, Jul 11, 2017 at 9:20

Re: [MBZ] Escape From Okie Acres

It’s definitely green, but a very dark green. Since the lighting that I took the pictures in was pretty subdued I can see why it might appear to be almost black now. I’ll take more on a sunny day and it will look better, I suspect. -D > On Jul 11, 2017, at 9:16 AM, Floyd Thursby via

Re: [MBZ] Escape From Okie Acres

It's blue green. I'll get the paint code off of it in a little bit and find out the exact name of the color. I have to order a tube of touch up paint for it anyway. The data card in the EPC says it's maroon. Go figure. -D > On Jul 11, 2017, at 12:10 AM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes >

Re: [MBZ] Escape From Okie Acres

I do believe it is called "Black Opal". One of my favorite colors on those cars. Silver, while cooler in Florida, is so boring. Rick Who lives in the snow belt. I need 4-matic more than I need a light colored car ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list

Methinks you should get your eyesight checked or the color profile on your monitor or phone. The car is blue-green, not black. Not even close. -D > On Jul 10, 2017, at 3:36 PM, Andrew Strasfogel wrote: > > A black car in Tampa? Or are you pulling up stakes and

Re: [MBZ] Escape From Okie Acres

I looked around for diesel W210s but as we discussed I had a hard time finding the later diesel model. Seems like the non-turbo (97) versions were around, but the turbo versions were scarce for the most part. I did learn that 1997 was a transitional year for the chassis and had some weird

Re: [MBZ] Escape From Okie Acres

I sure wish they offered diesel 210s after 99, but if you have the chance to get a 98-99 diesel, do it. The bumper, grille, and taillights are a little different and it does not have the steering wheel buttons but otherwise they are the same. Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 10, 2017, at 1:30

Re: [MBZ] Escape From Okie Acres

Nothing that approaches the level of the S430. I ran the DAS on it yesterday, as I had it out from clearing faults on the SL500 from a couple of failing O2 sensors I replaced. The W210 is the generation of system before the W220, so it still uses the HHT (hand held tester) emulator for
