come back

Wife and I went to the other side of the mountains last weekend.  
(Washington has distinct climates depending on if you are being  
inundated by Pacific moisture or being blocked from that moisture by a  
mountain range.  The eastern half of the state is much drier and  
blessed with heat.)  We brought the wet with us and spent a few days  
with storms and temps 20f lower than average for the area.

Succulent weather for a fish.
Not good for hitting the PnP, but I had to see if I could

want the bundts I refinished with the new tires.

So, I head over to the PnP.


Be glad you have a yard to pick from. Around here, there are

Sounds good to me.  It's been 10 years at least since I was in a PnP
so things may have changed around here (Portland, OR), but the last
time I pretty much decided to give up on it.  There were few European
cars except for VWs, and the prices were outrageous---might as well
buy from Potomac German Auto or some other used-parts dealer and not

Please?!?

She comes with all the spare stuff that will increase your inventory  
in that model.  Bring a large enclosed trailer.  I have crap in two  
garages.  The plan was to get her as close to #2 condition as possible  
with original parts.  Had the head gasket job been a success, I was  
then moving on to the stripping of extraneous bits in preparation for  
painting.  Would have had fresh glass, new glass seals, and upgraded  
silver trim parts all around.

[MBZ] PnP adventures

2011-07-25 Thread redghost
Summer has deserted us.  Once more we are seeing October weather with  
temps around 11c.  Succulent weather for a fish.  Not good for hitting  
the PnP, but I had to see if I could source steel wheels for Gump to  
roll into greener pastures. I want the bundts I refinished with the  
new tires.


So, I head over to the PnP.  They have spruced it up since last I  
shopped.  Only took a tire iron, since I only needed wheels.  Driving  
up there, the outside temp shows 56f.  FML.  Raining, not drizzle, but  
real rain.  Did not bring my wellies, since it was going to be only  
overcast.  At least the entry fee has dropped to $1.


Head out into the yard and  Where the heck are all the wheels?

Rack of tires all priced out expensive like.  The rims are stacked up  
in the processing year looking like they will be used to make more car  
stands.  Hmm.  Lot of the cars in the yard have an excess of stands  
under them, unlike the tripod configuration last time I was in  
attendance.  BUT WHERE ARE THE WHEELS?  not a car there with wheels on  
them.  They are being placed sans wheels now.


poop

Wander the yard anyway in hopes maybe a few spares survived the  
culling.  Found one.  A bundt.  In good condition, but not another  
benz wheel to be found. Many a high end car is seen in the rows.  Four  
jags, a 126, a 116, an SLC, 201, 124, high end audis, land rovers,  
spyders, and  mid level sedans, not the low end junkers.  Head  
scratcher this one.  Decided I did not need yet another bundt, as I  
have enough for three cars.


Better scrounge someplace else, this yard has become to deluxe for me.

Same here - trade you the weather! It was 41.6c (107F) yesterday.

My closest PnP with anything MB is OkieAcres - Kaleb's backyard (unless he's
crushed all of them by now).

Does it really matter where I live?  

We can't trade weather.  We can't trade auto salvage yards.   So
it really is meaningless whether I live in Arkansas, Alaska,
Alabama, or Azerbaijan.

Perpetual autumn is about it.  Here in Northern Oregon, we've gotten a few
