Greg, The R2D2 analogy is a good one. Those white cylinders with a dome top are visible from quite a distance. It was a little bit un-nerving flying over the ship and watching that gun tracking me all the way. We had to take it on faith that there were no live fire exercises authorized during

I sure wish they offered diesel 210s after 99, but if you have the chance to get a 98-99 diesel, do it. The bumper, grille, and taillights are a little different and it does not have the steering wheel buttons but otherwise they are the same. Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 10, 2017, at 1:30

I looked around for diesel W210s but as we discussed I had a hard time finding the later diesel model. Seems like the non-turbo (97) versions were around, but the turbo versions were scarce for the most part. I did learn that 1997 was a transitional year for the chassis and had some weird

Nothing that approaches the level of the S430. I ran the DAS on it yesterday, as I had it out from clearing faults on the SL500 from a couple of failing O2 sensors I replaced. The W210 is the generation of system before the W220, so it still uses the HHT (hand held tester) emulator for
