Both the 114/115 and the 124 handle/drive better than the 123. It was a low
point in suspension design - they dropped the double wishbone front end for
the cheaper McPherson strut, and we all suffered, until they figured out
the rear end to compensate.

I recommend that you go make friends with someone at a high-volume car
dealer.  They have these issues all the time and a good dealer will have a
"guy" that can fix things.

Hmmm  Kaleb!  Do you have any dealers with "title fixers?"

All pretty much spot on except number three.

That "few hundred bucks" they used to charge for washing titles in 
Alabama is now close to $1,000.  I know because I just checked for 
someone with the guys I used to wash the 1962 300SE's title back on 
2001.


Ouch.

Maybe there are cheaper places but I didn't see any.

Dan


Ouch is right!  I shoulda got my 240D title right away when I bought 
it.  I looked about a year ago and it was $400-500 then.  I have the 
car roadworthy now except the title, and I lost the bill of sale...

Sister's first husband (attorney) was Protestant with a capital "P". White 
bread country club folks, very, very nice and always quite pleasant and 
welcoming.

Wedding was sparsely attended by my family because she was marrying "outside of 
the church".

Made things easy when she divorced him and remarried a few years later to a 
Catholic guy, one of her former students in the Catholic high school she taught 
in.  They didn't even have to issue an annulment for her first marriage, as in 
the eyes of the Roman Catholic Church, it didn't count since husband #1 was 
Protestant.

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a relatively painless way to get a title for a 
vehicle? I have had to pass up several very good deals, because I 
know no way to get a title for a vehicle that doesn't have one.  
Contact me off list if need be.


TIA,

Sent from my BlackBerry Z10


1. have the owner go get a duplicate.  cheapest and easiest.  If the 
owner is dead, the executor can do this with proper paperwork.


2.  call your DMV/whoever issues title and plates, and ask them how 
to do it.  Each state is different.  In general, you get a bill of 
sale, and a preferably notarized statement from the seller describing 
the situation, take those in, then make an appointment for Johhny law 
to come look at the vehicle.  Once they bless it and you provide the 
state with the ransom they demand, you paper should be issued.  All 
blinker fluid has to be full and they will do the basic safety 
inspection.


3.  For a few hundred, companies in AL will get you an Al title. 
This is best for high value cars and /or where the state ransom for 
back registration and penalties are significantly higher.  Like if 
you found a 63 corvette in a barn.


Here, if a car was stored 50 years without registration, you'd owe 
thousands in fees and penalties.  The solution is to transfer the 
title out of state.  Once it is titled in another state, the title 
can be transferred back in state and you only have to pay for the 
title transfer and current plate.

Re: [MBZ] I *Think* I Bought a Car

2015-04-02 Thread Dan Penoff
Not necessary. He was in the process of doing it

Got an email from him. He wants to "compromise" at $5800.

I told him thanks, but no, I don't negotiate, I offer what I think is fair and 
what the car is worth to me.  Not totally true, as I would negotiate if I 
thought the car was worth it, but I don't.

We'll see.

I still have the former State Department guy in Sarasota coming back on the 
9th.  Ironically, the way things seem to be going I may very well end up with 
that car. Not a bad thing, but if I hadn't waffled on it to begin with I would 
have been driving it for the last three weeks...

Re: [MBZ] OT Catholic schools to the wise, or not for the wise

2015-04-02 Thread WILTON
You shoulda heard and seen Mama's wailin' and wringin' of hands when two of 
my Southern Baptist brothers married "Irish" Catholic sisters from 
Philadelphia in '42/'43.  I couldn't understand what all the "agony" was 
about.  Very quickly, she and all of the family learned to love those two 
girls/women, surely, as much as our own daughter/sister.


They raised two of the finest families you'll find anywhere.

It would depend on the state but in ok we have a process where you send a 
certified letter to last known owner, have an "auction" to sell the car for 
storage fees and send all that in to the state and they send you a title. There 
are also companies online that will do that for you.

EFree is a relatively small sect, it seems.
Shall we mention other small protestant sects?
i.e. Christian Missionary Alliance, or Plymouth Brethren (PB), or closed PB
I grew up in PB - yeah, not Power Blaster...
PB seems to have been really effective among protestant persuasions,
essentially codifying modern doctrinal ways.  Not that I knew that
while growing up, but from what I have learned lately it seems PB were
significantly influential, but quite quietly.  Religion - yeah, it
congers much in the mind, doesn't it?

And what about the big city catlik bruhaha bout abuse and chastised
old guys?  Maybe that doesn't really happen?  Or maybe it doesn't
happen in smaller towns?  While strict and effective in their
indoctrinations, perhaps their mode twists their mentality?  Or
perhaps the images in my mind of abuse is merely a plant from MSM
against pope.

Sorry guys for not answering sooner.  I’ve been in ATL doing my recurrent 
training in the 767 simulator.

The charge was $50.  I was floored, especially since the guys in there don’t do 
anything but MB’s.  Owner has a mid 60’s 280SE Coupe and a ’69 280SE Sedan.  
Gorgeous cars.  Gene’s German Cars in Woodside.  I’m going to bring my cars 
from Maine to NYC to get work done.

 The steering box is toast and rebuilt replacement boxes cost 1000 euro
 there. I could only find power steering boxes here and they are much
 cheaper. The car has rack and pinion steering, so would a power
 steering box work in place of a manual box? I know that the gearing is
 different in the recirculating ball system that MB uses but does that
 also apply to rack and pinion?

I thanked him for his time, told him what a nice car he had, then proceeded to 
lay out why spending $2500+ on a car for maintenance doesn't increase the value 
substantially. Then I made him an offer of $5500 and told him I would 
understand if he couldn't accept it.

So late last night he replies to my email:

"the recent repair bill from eurotech-automotive.com in Spring Hill Fla. (352) 
597-2660 will be included for your records..Tom"

I'm assuming that's a "Yes"?

Are you suggesting that they would change the steering system from 
rack and pinion to recirculating ball (steering gear?)


If I read this right, his point is that the _gearing_ in the
RB steering box is different between manual and power-assist
units.  He's wondering if the same is true in RP units.  I'm
assuming he can get a relatively inexpensive power unit for
his Alfa, and is worried that it'll drive differently after
the (presumably without hooking up the hydraulics) swap.

I'm getting list emails quoting emails that I have not received.

Nothing in my spam folder on my phone.

Same here.

Some are backdated, so if I go back to the date shown on the message, 
there is the message.  For others, I never find them.


I chalk it up to Bill's gremlins somewhere along the line.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Any alfistas here?

2015-04-02 Thread dseretakis
The car has rack and pinion steering but also has a steering gear box. I know 
nothing about rack and pinion.

I'm asking if a manual steering gearbox for a rack and pinion system can be 
interchanged with a power steering gearbox in a rack and pinion system.

I know that can't be done in a recirculating ball system due to different 
gearing. That's why I ask.
