Those things are oddly compelling but not a very good execution of the 
meenievayan concept or station wagon (estate, shooting brake) or SUV or any 
other vehicle concept.

I joined in 1998 I think also... thats when I bought my first 240D.

Not long after that I met MMM and CTH in person on various adventures with
old Mercedes around NY, NJ, and PA.  And went to the some Rusty Qs.

And yes, the lists were run by Dickarde in Canada around that time... not
sure when that started.  But something about servers running in a hidden
closet in a basement parking garage on a stolen internet connection.  And
then one day it all went dark and everyone lost everything... remember
that?  He was hosting my website at the time.  I changed to a professional
after that!

Re: [MBZ] OT: How long have you been here? Csn you remember?

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

I was one of the early list members in Richarde’s lists, the dates I don’t 
recall, maybe the mid 1990s? An original Hitler list member, too, but not the 
first to be banned. Before Richarde I was on the Vet’s list among others. I can 
recall doing BBS stuff on Mercedes with a dial up modem

Richarde’s servers were run in a garage in Toronto, maybe Dan Stern’s place, I 
don’t recall. They were ancient Sun systems that he kept band aiding to the 
point where they were bailing wire and duct taped together. There was no AC in 
the garage, of course, but there were fans. I don’t recall the details, whether 
it was an extended power outage or equipment failure, but cooling was lost and 
the machines pretty much melted down, taking the whole of mbz.org along with 
all the other domains he hosted down.

 I don’t think there was anyone around at the site at the time, and Richarde, 
being limited in his transportation choices from his remote village, couldn’t 
get there for several days.

This took down the lists, Rusty’s web site, and a bunch of others I can’t 
recall.

Kaleb took over the lists and aggregated them into a few. This list is the 
remains that rose from the ashes of the garage in “Tronna”.

There are some great back stories in this with Richarde swapping parts for 
building and hosting Rusty’s web site among others...we should compile a book 
or something.

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I joined the MBCA list in 96 or 97 when it started followed by the Her Hitler 
list. By 98 I was banned from there when Dickarde started his lists. I was 
running several of those lists when they went dark and moved over to the 
current list in 05. The first list person I met in person was Knutson.

Re: [MBZ] Care given to cars that will be departing

You could work a deal with SWMBA to depart now with your collection, 
move to Okieland and buy some land cheap with the flooding going on, put 
up a shop and go into bidness with Kleb. Or just plunk a mobile next to 
Kleb's shop and do it that way. probably be a win-win-win.

I do not expect the SL to rate BaT attention, as there are far more 560SL and

Re: [MBZ] OT: How long have you been here? Csn you remember?

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

~2002ish?  Bought a 123.190 (1985 300TD, NA engine, five speed manual
trans, black leather interior) for $1200 at an auction, but it ran terribly
due to the EGR failed wide open.  Something Marshall Booth said lead me to
block off the EGR, and it was like I had a new car.  Sold it for $2300 a
couple years later when I couldn't take the lack of AC any longer.

That was on Sexton's list sponsored by Rusty.  Dr. Marshall Booth, LT Don,
Rusty, Jabba, and many others whose names I have forgotten were there but
not here.

Met in person: Rich, Rusty, Jabba, Craig, guy in Ohio used to have a 1995
E300 with really high miles, hope I'm not missing anyone else.  Oh yeah
another guy in WDC, also forgot his name, we had lunch at Five Guys Burgers
about ten years ago.

It should be noted that I was still a teenager then.  Kaleb too?  And don't
forget about Davide.  Lots of young folks.

It makes you wonder how we looked then compared to the kids on the W123
facebook group now.  Afterall, we were doing the same kind of work.  Trying
to adjust valves on a 240D and figure out why the engine wouldn't shut
off.  But the cars were less than 20 years old then.  Like a W211 today.

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: OT: How long have you been here? Csn you remember?

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

yeah, I was on Kathy Kennel's list a while, but all the talk was about 
new cars.  124 and 126 and such, so no value to me at the time.  Same 
with hitler.  Then I found Alex's Mercedes Veterans list, and it was a 
winner!


Bob Rentfro via Mercedes wrote on 6/4/19 12:08 AM:

Quite a while. I remember being on some thing back in the mid 90s that Kathy 
seem to be running. Back in dialup days. Every day it was in digest form.My 
memory is kind of sketchy though. I was a lurker on pretty much everyone of the 
those old lists, I was very unsure of myself and was kind of in awe of all the 
knowledge. I never really started popping up asking questions or participating 
until Rusty’s list and then the Okie list.

It should be noted that I was still a teenager then.  Kaleb too?  And don't
forget about Davide.  Lots of young folks.

It makes you wonder how we looked then compared to the kids on the W123
facebook group now.  Afterall, we were doing the same kind of work.  Trying
to adjust valves on a 240D and figure out why the engine wouldn't shut
off.  But the cars were less than 20 years old then.  Like a W211 today.

With a crashbox maybe. There’s one on BAT right now that’s only at $2900 with 5 
days to go. It’s got over 200k on the clock, I think, which is probably putting

Dang, I had completely forgotten about that!

I remember the first RustyQue. I had to room with a Richarde, and he was 
smoking these gawdawful clove cigarettes. Ugh.

Riding around in a caravan going to the Benz knacker guy’s place (what was his 
name? Dave?) watching Kaleb and Jabba get lost. Late nights with copious 
amounts of adult beverages and the Choirboy singing Latin cantatas for us.

Damn, that was fun.

Wizbanned was also a major event and loads of fun, too. Kaleb remembers that 
well, I’m sure. Lots of beer, brats and our private cheese tasting. Yum!

I remember someone posting a bunch of pics from that Q, I guess it was 
the first one, and I saw this HUGE fat guy and I was like whoTF is 
that?  I think he was sitting next to Marshall maybe? Was he there?  In 
any case I didn't want to ask for fear of overstepping some code or 
something.  Turned out it was Jabba, he must've been like 400+ at that 
point, I'm not sure how he could even move.

Re: [MBZ] OT: How long have you been here? Csn you remember?

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I had to bunk with Jaime, he had a blue 240D IIRC. We were driving to the Q 
from the hotel and saw mountain man walking down the road. We picked him up. 
Evidentially nobody remembered to give him a ride. Speaking of mountain man I 
believe he was the 2nd list member I met. Met him at the MBCA star tech that 
toad put on in Milwaukee. Ritter was there also which I had just been banned 
from his list at that point and I made him uncomfortable.

What is this Lt wacko seat story?

Re: [MBZ] More flooding news

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Back when I had mystery chest pain they only found it after a cardiac CAT 
scan. A stress test shows valve problems or might show an abnormal heartbeat 
but it won't show a blockage like a CAT scan will.
I had to fight with the insurance company, I told her "Tell me you'd prefer 
that I die and I'll stop fighting." they approved the test the next day.

 I had one, I was running (plodding) and started to have chest pains. I started 
to slow down, the doc kept pushing me, I finally jumped off the treadmill "&^%$ 
you doc, are you trying to kill me?" I don't see that cardiologist anymore...

Re: [MBZ] OT: How long have you been here? Csn you remember?

Yeah, I was at StarTech Milwaukee, too. I paid for Randy Steele to come out 
from CA for it as I had tons of airline miles to burn off that were expiring. 
Lots of fun, as we had just moved to FL, so going back to MKE was like old home 
week.

Toad didn’t put on StarTech, it used to be a semiannual thing in years between 
StarFest. Fooled you, didn’t he?

Re: [MBZ] More flooding news

That’s pretty much how I felt.

Funny thing - in Sheboygan WI, a city of roughly 50k people, there were at 
least 12 cardiologists in the Yellow Pages. I found that to be telling.

[MBZ] How long have I been here

[Rick Hawkins Java Letterpress Cycles Photon via Mercedes]

> 
> Folks

I am about to turn 65 this year and maybe don’t remember everything

I suspect I bought my 1982 300td probably around 2000 or so  

That was after 20 years of driving Peugeots

I do remember that my now 25 year old daughter and I attended a gathering north

Hey Rick - glad to hear from you.  I remember meeting you and your daughter
at a Rusty Q in Atlanta, I think you were driving a tan 123 wagon pulling a
trailer.

[MBZ] OT: Server costs

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

I have gotten in some early results from the Kill-A-Watt regarding my new-to-me 
2014 Mac Mini web server.
Running this web server should cost around 40kWH/year, or about $2.15/year.  
This is an order of magnitude
less than I spend just registering the formicapeak.com domain, and another 
order of magnitude less than what
my @#$%! ISP would charge to allow incoming web connections, if I had caved to 
their extortion!  (Thank you
TC for the tunnel.)

This Mac Mini is drawing something like 10% of the power of the G4 server it 
replaced, which itself was remarkably
low for the class of machine it was.  The Mini is also effectively silent, 
which is what prompted the change in
the first place.

Depending on where this one ends up, yes, quite possibly.

I’ve got maybe a month’s worth of work left on it. I’ll gladly take this and

With me, it was the opposite, at least my second stress test, the one I call 
the stressless test. 

Had some odd chest pains, got sent to a Cardiologist, who ordered a stress 
test. It wasn't too bad to go through, just some hard exercise on the 
treadmill, but he said he thought he saw signs of heart damage in the results. 
My GP thought the ECG looked clean. They ordered a stress test with contrast 
(stress test, radioactive dye, chest scan). During the 5 months between the two 
stress tests I walked a mile or two a day but was afraid to do any real 
exercise. 

During the second stress test, I was just getting warmed up when the nurse said 
I was done because I was at the same stress level as the original test. No, I'm 
not. Look at my heart rate, I'm exercising at a conversational level, talking 
normally. Back in March my heart rate was much higher and I was gasping too 
hard to talk. (I was that much more fit after five months of walking 20-40 
minutes a day). She told me I didn't know what I was talking about and shut 
down the treadmill.

Ah, Tronna.  Steve McSween did some duct tape of servers for Dickarde?

The alternate dns server stuff was interesting wherein sites such as

Re: [MBZ] More flooding news

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

When I thought I was having chest pain a while back they did a stress test, no 
die. It came back as having an issue. They then did a cath which came back as 
no blockage at all. Now I don’t do any major exercise except for walking 
dealers lots and my diet was not spectacular I found it hard to believe there 
was no blockage. No explanation was ever found for my issue. I guess it was all 
in my head or something.

It was not in your head.  It was in their wallet.  The
Medical-Industrial-Complex coupled with the Pharma-Industrial-Complex
is not unlike the Military-Industrial-Complex.  These people make good
coin and are ALL psychopath and sociopath.  Stay away from them, stay
away from their "science" so-called, go back to the Native American
methods of how people lived for millenia without the issues these
folks want to control us via surgery cut-up and chemical pharma.  All
lies, some partially effective to make us suckers to their every siren
call.  Glyphosate? Immunizations? Idiot instant food? Restaurant food?
all bad.  Real food makes life.

[MBZ] Cleaning Injectors

[OK Don via Mercedes]

Just saw this in an aviation newsletter, it's for gasoline injectors, but
might work with the Diesel ones as well?

"General airport wisdom (and the maintenance manual) suggest cleaning the
injectors in Hopps #9 gun cleaning solvent, and it does, indeed, work quite
well. At least one manual I have suggests cleaning them in the solvent in
an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner"

they never pushed me on a stress test the way the rehab folks did.   The 
stress test would start off, then they'd stop, shoot something into my

i doubt Dissel injectors get the varnish buildup that gasoline ones do, 
for a variety of reasons. Starting with pressure and ending with fuel.

There were a few summer days in the PnP I was sure I would not be returning to 
the car with parts.  That would have been a regal manner to depart.  As it is, 
I fear the polar bears and moose will be my downfall.  Them, or the blasted PT 
excersize.  I might be pushing the stretch, as it  caused great pain and 
noticeable angina.

And just rotting vegetation if it is warm there. I was at my son's house 
last week and he had a partial bag of lawn mower clippings in the garage 
that smelled terrible. I tossed it outside. He was concerned that the 
paper yard waste bag would fall apart if it was rained on but I was more 
concerned that composting grass gets hot and could cause a fire. Not 
sure there is any real risk of that but better safe than sorry.

I recall not when I washed up on this list, but Dickarde and his watches were a 
hot topic at the time.  That would have been the precursor to the Okie list.  I 
think it was due to being banned from the snitter/fleasly list a few times, as 
well as another, for being liberal with my condemnation of the garbage cars 
coming out of Mercedes at the time.

Probably the same bunch with ocean going barges are dragging things to the

Based on the weather reports coming out of ANC, the car is better off being

you should point that one out to Tin man.  Maybe there is a future for 
you as a remote MB auto broker. Matching the right buyer with the right 
seller for a commission.

You guys have no idea how much effort is has take to keep me from trotting off

I figured it out, my father and I drove up there for it and was just

across the street for breakfast at George Webbs.

[MBZ] Stacked

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

Searched the group, couldn't find...what advantage is there to cutting the 
exhaust system and putting it out the hood or the side of the car ?

Opening up exhaust allows the turbos to spool slightlu faster

Bradley Rath you have to cut a hole in the hood and the car gets louder. Its 
not harmful. On the stock turbo it wont help much other than allow you to hear 
the turbo more. If you run a bigger turbo itl allow it to spool faster and make 
slightly better power

Did a 3inch dump in the middle of the passenger side door. Less egt more sound, 
I like it, but my car is not pure...

I was on the fence about whether not to hood stack my Gambler but with all the 
judgement here, it’s clear the world needs more hoods with holes.
