Re: [MBZ] Where Old Republicans Go to Die

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

As Curly just stated, the M103 is no dog, it's a very peppy engine that will 
definitely get up on its hind legs when you put your foot into it.  That being 
said, I've never driven a W126 with an M103 in it, but considering the 
additional weight a W126 has over a W124, I would expect some drop in 
performance.

Again, a W126 is not a car you're going to be taking to the track on the 
weekends, so that doesn't matter to me.

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Competition

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

Friend bought one not long after they came out, and I drove it. It 
wasn't impressive. It had a stock American drive train and the 
handling was nothing special. He kept it for years and finally sold 
it. IIRC the body was unpainted stainless steel. Where do you find a 
bodyman who can do an invisible fix on a dent in unpainted stainless 
steel?

Re: [MBZ] Where Old Republicans Go to Die

[Dimitri via Mercedes]

My brother has a 300TE with an m103 which I've driven quite a bit. To be 
honest, I think the engine is quite peppy and more than adequate power-wise. 
These are not race cars.

Bridges; do you have any experience with DOT or railroad bridges?  I hear

Re: [MBZ] nope, no vote fraud

[Tim Crone via Mercedes]

Metadata?  If I am watching who goes in to the voting booth and when (all
perfectly legal), and I have access to voting logs, then I can use the
timing to derive most of the votes.  This would be handy if I were a
community organizer of some kind, especially if people knew I might have
this data and were members of some fraternal organization I happened to
head.  Short of collecting receipts this would be an effective way to cow
your members into voting the party line.

If the vote record doesn't have timing then the statistics are taking away
one vote per person -  effectively mandating that all people have to vote
based on whatever demographics are selected, otherwise the statistician is
going to declare the votes were invalid. (If you have a very successful
ground campaign in one area but not another, you end up looking like a
cheat - if this includes the force of law, then you may as well let SAS
choose the president in advance.)

I agree that counting votes is important, but the paper system is easy to
game already - ask Khrushchev, or the NC BoE.  Just because something else
is also easy to game doesn't make it inherently worse.

That said, NC is literally the poster child for where individual votes
don't matter due to the statistically gerrymandered districts, so I may
have a skewed perception.

Best,
Tim

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Competition

[G Mann via Mercedes]

My assessment exactly, with a few add ons.

Gull wing doors with non functioning side windows from a practical standpoint.
Stainless body not repairable by an ordinary body shop, except by
replacement. [very high cost due to limited production]
Nothing outstanding in either power or preformance.
Not really an attractive car that says "drive me, I'm Aston Martin fast".
Virtually impossible to access engine for routine maintenance.
High cost [for it's era].
You have to take off your disco boots to drive it... [snarky comment].

I wish the "new production" every success, however, I won't be
spending $40+K for a refurbished one.. or $100+K for a new one...
ever..

Re: [MBZ] nope, no vote fraud

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

It should also be trivial to sanitize the data of PII (personally
identifiable information) and replace that with some unique identifier so
the mathematician can do her thing.

Outright refusal to cooperate and allow data to be examined is the same
tactic used by the global warming scare-monger crowd.  "Trust us!"  Not on
your life...

 I have never found a 126 to be a boring car, with lots of hours of butt
 time in the 126.

 IMHO, it is the finest MB produced after the 600.  But the 600 is in a
 class of its own, and outside the specialty cars such as the 600 and the
 300SL,  the 126 is THE finest postwar MB.

 The 126 is a uniquely competent car, being quite reliable, safe, and
 roadworthy over 30 years or more.

 It is also a beautiful car

 so, as usual, andy is just being a troll hiding under the bridge.

Re: [MBZ] Where Old Republicans Go to Die

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I would agree with that aspect of it, but Curly’s points regarding the W126 
body style override the boring consideration of the M103 engine.  And if you 
want a W126 gasser, there’s nothing simpler than this car.  If you go with the 
V8 powered models, they’re more complex and definitely more expensive to 
maintain.

Kaleb will chime in about them being dogs, but the W126 is not a car you should 
be worrying about speed contests in.

Got a buddy selling an 11", 2014, 128GB SSD, 4GB RAM, still has a year left on

I would buy it if I had a need, but I don't right now.

My assessment exactly, with a few add ons.

Gull wing doors with non functioning side windows from a practical standpoint.
Stainless body not repairable by an ordinary body shop, except by
replacement. [very high cost due to limited production]
Nothing outstanding in either power or preformance.
Not really an attractive car that says "drive me, I'm Aston Martin fast".

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Competition

[OK Don via Mercedes]

Wrong - "fiberglass chassis and underbody structure, along with a
brushed stainless
steel  body" and "The engine
is a Peugeot-Renault-Volvo (PRV) 2.85 litre V6
 which was designed and built under
special contract with the DMC Company. These PRV engines
 were a development of the 2.7
litre V6 in the Renault 30 , and
were built in the PRV Factory in Douvrin
, Northern France. The gearbox, also
designed by PRV, was built at the Renault facility near Caen
 in Normandy."

The guy three hangars north of me has one  - he says it has the typical
English electrical system and crap drive train. Other than that, it is cool
looking.

"The original Ducellier alternator
 supplied with the early
production DMC-12s could not provide enough current to supply the car when
all lights and electrical options were on; as a result, the battery
 would gradually
discharge, leaving the driver stranded on the road."

Stainless body not repairable by an ordinary body shop, except by

Nothing outstanding in either power or preformance. 
Not really an attractive car that says "drive me, I'm Aston Martin fast".

[MBZ] Broken leaf spring

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

I have a broken leaf spring on the rear axle of the passenger side on my 
trailer. Was getting it ready for the trip to get that car tomorrow but I am I 
wrong in thinking it best to not haul a car 8 hours back with one side of the 
axle loose? Damn. Going to have to order a new one

Re: [MBZ] Broken language Wuz: leaf spring

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

Don't feel bad.  My teachers taught that your way is right.  "Time 
for Rich and I to swoop in and snatch that up"   Either the rules 
changed later or the teachers were taught wrong.


If you use the common vernacular of the south (or Ireland, or the 
west, or Lancastershire or pick a region), then you then you can 
claim creative license and say it in whatever voice you choose!




Doh!  I've always had a difficult time with that aspect of grammar...

[MBZ] Happy Birthday 123

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

From the Museum facilbuch page:  the 123 turns 40 today!or their car due to the 
great demand.   This was the reason 
why its predecessor, the W 114/115 
"Stroke Eight", was still produced 
at the same time until December 
1976.   The W 123 series is also 
one of the most successful E-Class 
generations in numbers: around 2.7 
million vehicles were built, 
almost 2.4 million of which are 
saloon cars and a good 200.000 T 
models.

Re: [MBZ] Broken language Wuz: leaf spring

[Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes]

That sentence is confusing because "Rich and I" are not the subjects as they
would be if it read: "Rich and I are going to swoop in...). Instead the
subject of the sentence is the (understood): (It) is time for me...).

Re: [MBZ] Need MacBook

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I series.

You want an I series for longevity and compatibility.

For cheap and dirty basic computing with no expectation of future support, I 
recommend a C2D.

I would never suggest a C2D to someone unless they had those sorts of 
expectations.  This would be for someone who is in the weeds as far as budget 
or computing needs.

You'll be quite pleased with your I5, it will be supported for a long time, and 
just about anything you want to run on it will do so.

Any tears for the 1975 - 89 Chevy Chevette?

I purchased one new in late 1975 for $3600, and sold it in 1982 for $300
prior to purchasing my very first Mercedes - a 1973 280.  As they say, the
rest is (boring) history.

Time Magazine rated it among the 50 most cars!

On Wheeler Dealers they purchased a 1976 AMC Pacer for $3500 and
then tricked it out for another $15K,  IIRC.  They ended up 8K in the hole
after donating it to a charity auction...

[MBZ] Wildly OT: Disney's Animal Kingdom park sued for snake bite!

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

WILDLIFE:Boy's Disney snake bite caused grandmother's death --
lawsuitPublished:
Friday, January 29, 2016

A family is suing Disney's Animal Kingdom on the grounds that a snake bite
to their 8-year-old son caused the cardiac arrest and death of the boy's
grandmother.

The incident took place in October 2014 at the Florida theme park, attorney
Matt Morgan said. The family said the snake escaped and entered a public
area, then fell from a tree and bit the boy.

Disney confirmed the snake bite incident but said it was a wild,
nonvenomous snake and not part of the park's collection. It said the boy
was treated with a Band-Aid, and the family went on to enjoy their day.

But the family said the boy's grandmother went into cardiac arrest after
witnessing the incident and died soon afterward.

"These allegations are an utter mischaracterization of the facts," a park
representative said (Daniel Dahm, WKMG
,
Jan. 28). *-- BTP*

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Competition

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

Any tears for the 1975 - 89 Chevy Chevette?

I purchased one new in late 1975 for $3600, and sold it in 1982 for $300
prior to purchasing my very first Mercedes - a 1973 280.  As they say, the
rest is (boring) history.

Time Magazine rated it among the 50 most cars!

http://content.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1658545_1658533_1658523,00.html


A shove-it?

What do you think it was that changed the name of that GM division to 
Shove-roll-lay?  Oh, and the car first became a Shove-it for obvious 
reasons.

I found it quite utilitarian, and problem free for 6 years (except for
surprisingly costly brake work).  With the maintenance savings I  was able
to  Move Up to a (used) Mercedes.

Does that apply to all cars, or just MBZ?
You can have my 2007 Saturn Ion 5sp for $1500 when I'm done with it in April,
but the A/C doesn't work. 

190kmi, new tires last summer. Need to replace either the radiator fan or the
fan controller box to make the CEL go out, which might also activate the A/C,
the kid who sold it to me said it held charge. 

Mitch.

Thanks.
PE program in IL was approved for me 20-years ago and I didn't pursue.
I am old, discouraged.  But, bridges need AutoCAD proficiency, I
suspect.  Rather Inventor these days...
Thanks, Max.

I have a '78 Chevette engine in my propane-fired generator set.

It is a good engine.

Re: [MBZ] Decent looking 240d with rare leather

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Pretty much anything. I bought my '83 240D in 2003 for $1500, '78 240D in 
(IIRC) 2010 for same. Neither needed anything (I did have to get a face plate 
for the radio in the '83) for the first few months of ownership.'98 Jetta 
needed a little work but nothing exciting.'05 Golf needed a transmission and a 
fender but is now much beyond a $1500 car.

Buy some Inuit carvings too.  I bought a cute little soapstone bear for

Looks like it has leather seats, and they're even in half-decent

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Competition

[Rich Thomas via Mercedes]

Back years ago wasn't there some sort of Renault that got imported and 
co-badged with Dodge or something?  anyway, this girl who was a friend 
of my wife was getting married in NJ or someplace, and another friend 
and her husband wanted to go.  They had a new Renault or whatever it was 
and offered to take it.  OK.  At some point I got pressed into driving, 
what a POS that thing was.  Small, no power, handled like a beach ball, 
since there were 4 of us and luggage it was down on the suspension stops 
so rode like a log wagon.
