Exactly. Any landing that you can walk away from is a good landing. Any landing where you can re-use the aircraft is a great landing! On Fri, Sep 22, 2017 at 1:44 PM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > You are supposed to glide it down nicely and land it in one piece so

You are supposed to glide it down nicely and land it in one piece so you can fly it again after the repairs. RB On 22/09/2017 1:21 PM, clay monroe via Mercedes wrote: My mechanical luck, the thing falls out of the sky. clay On Sep 21, 2017, at 3:17 PM, OK Don via Mercedes

I think that the condition of the seat springs and padding are key; any of the cars or trucks mentioned have the potential to delight or despair. Height and weight and physical condition of the driver also play a role. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300

I found the w124 seats, granted 95, not clapped out, were comfy enough to allow my backside to survive ten to twelve hours in the saddle at speed for a week. The 107 is good for a few hours with a semi rebuilt padding solution. I am on the fence regarding the w220 and the w140. The 140 seats

On my drive back from eastern WA to southwestern a few weeks ago I was forced to use the 2-lane since I-84 was closed due to wildfires. I was surprised that I felt fine after seven hours behind the wheel in my "new" W163. For me these are the most comfortable car seats I've experienced. Greg

I think one needs to make a distinction as to what they want in the way of seat comfort. I like the W124 and R129 seating, as it “cradles” you well fro more aggressive driving. If you want the “living room couch” feel, the W140 and W126 are far better. Either one isn’t bad for long distance
