[MBZ] UAE Vehicle-age

[Bob Rentfro via Mercedes]

For the scant five days I was in Abu Dhabi I noticed the following:
Etihad Airways has a huge fleet of black e200 wagons. Awesome wagon. 
I noticed immediately that each  Mercedes had the odd factory badging, “EMC” on 
the right. I was unfamiliar with that so I asked and found out that EMC is 
Emirates MotorCompany and that they sell so many cars the Fatherland send them 
over with their badging installed. Weird   
All the taxis, I mean ALL of the taxis there are Camrys.
Anyone who is anyone has a huge, white SUV. Nissan Patrols, Toyota Sequoias, 
Toyota Fortrunners (yes, Fortrunner). Ginormous Lexus’ with odd badging. 
The Supercars are not as prevalent as I expected.
Speed humps are everywhere. You go from 100km/hr to a speedhump in like 100 
yards. It’s nuts. 
VWs are almost nonexistent except for the occasional R Golf.
When you visit Yas Mall or the Ace Hardware or the IKEA some dude will give 
your ride a first class hand wash where it sits  for 25 dihrim. 

I prefer the USA . ‘Merica

I purchased them for the '90 E300D/2.5 last year.

[MBZ] Woodstock, Georgia

[Mike Esh via Mercedes]

Is anyone around Woodstock, Georgia that could look at a 300D for me.  The 
engine is out and I just want to ensure it is as rust free as the seller 
claims.  I am thinking of having it shipped to Michigan or driving down and 
hauling it back on a tow dolly.
I will get the address if anyone is around and could take a look.
Thanks,
Mike

and at a pretty decent price, too.  At least they have them for my W210 chassis

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** A No Go

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

I think is is more than an 8 hour shift.   There may even be another fellow who 
actually drives the tanker to fetch fuel.  The cost for downtime on the pumps 
runs to multi millions per second according to #1 boy.  It is his buddy who has 
this responsibility.  I think the greater skill is the ability to piddle in a 
bottle, hold your sphincter for ages, be willing to roast in excessive summer 
temps, and remain warm enough at 50+ below, in real degrees.

Can the side bearings and seals be replaced without a special jig or other

If it had been able to sit over the Gulf for another 8-10 hours it would have 
been a Cat 5 storm.  Gulf waters are very, very warm right now.

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** A No Go

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

Eight hours a day?
You're dreaming. 

I've got a client who drives tankers in ND for more money than was mentioned 
earlier. 
Maybe I'll ask him how many hours he works in a year. 

Also have a few guys who drive local for $60-100k per year, sleep in their own 
beds every night. 
One of the guys who's closer to 100k was complaining about his overtime last 
time I talked to him, wants his employer to hire more guys and spread the 
workload around.

Thanks. Should be in interesting watching how Michael plays out.
Forecasting models are more and more accurate, so I don't expect there will
be any huge surprise. Their biggest difficulty is in predicting how much a
storm will strengthen, or weaken as it passes over tropical waters..

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** A No Go

[Ed Booher via Mercedes]

What? Is that *really* a thing? I'd like to see a job notice on that one.
How do they even describe that? "You'll sit in the cab of a truck 8 hours a
day per shift to make sure the pumps have fuel. When the rig runs dry, you
will pull away for another truck to take your place." ??

Re: [MBZ] Hurricane Michael

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Just looked at the wind graphics, I think the winds will diminish quite 
rapidly over land.  Looks like it is also going to be a bit further 
inland so the coastal areas won't get much, maybe some where it heads 
offshore again up around OBX.  I'm sure the vast estate will get some 
blow and a bit of rain, but maybe not too much.

Yes they are both 2.65.

I will also have an extra 185mm 2.65 diff shortly, as I am swapping to the
210mm stuff with LSD.

Worn clips wont cause the knock.

Changing those bearings and seals is easy. You can also do the pinion seal.

Re: [MBZ] Hurricane Michael is now a Category 4

Parts of it.  There are some pretty heavily populated parts where it’s moving 
through.

We’re getting rain bands from the hurricane, but it’s an otherwise typical day 
around here.  Just glad this went to the west and left us alone.

Re: [MBZ] Hurricane Michael

It is raining now, I guess some very far outer bands of the storm. We aren’t 
going to get that much rain, maybe some wind. New moon 7.1ft Hugh tide tomorrow 
though so any surge or high surf will be on top of that, which could be a bit 
of a problem. 

I hope my collection of fine German automobiles will survive. 

On Sunday my buddy and I cleaned our probes, downloaded 2 weeks of data, and 
reprogrammed for another 2 weeks. If we get some rain that will provide some

We (the Low Country) need the rain, and also the cooler weather, so I say
"Bring on Michael!".  Upstate SC and NC, not so much.

During the last rain event, I taped over all the seams for the sunroof on
The White Whale, and the result was very little if any water got inside.  I
really need to find some time to remove all the sunroof moving parts (panel
and the carrier that does the push / pull / pop-up) so I can clean out and
examine the pan to determine if rust is my issue or just dirt and leaves

I think the seller has a problem counting.

240D, 5 cylinder, 5 speed manual.  As I understand, a 5 speed
transmission was available from the factory - but MBUSA never
imported one.  So to get a 5 speed manual would mean "modified" or
"grey-market/euro".
