Thats a really neat car. Those early euro 126s drive great. My 1980 380SE was the same colors, same cloth. Jaime On Mon, Jun 24, 2013 at 7:05 PM, Dan Penoff wrote: > Hers a car for you, Jaime! > > > http://www.benzworld.org/forums/sale-wanted-trade-giveaway/1711659-sale-1983-grey-market-280

I would think that you would have better luck in small claims court. I believe you can do this in your local jurisdiction for minimal expense. You'll probably have a tough time collecting, but at least you'll get a judgement against him. Dan Sent from my iPad On Jun 24, 2013, at 5:42 PM, Randy

Re: [MBZ] Going after Trent

Most stuff like this never goes to trial, the prosecutor and the defendant's shyster usually work something out. They are so overloaded with nasty crimes that this sort of thing is an annoyance, and the judge will tell them to go sort it out, let me know what you did, and I will sign off on it

Re: [MBZ] Procrastination

Do you have a Mity-Vac already? The first step (determining if you need the valve or not) is very easy once you've got the vac. Figure that out and give it another year or two to decide your next step. Dont want to hurry these things. -Curt Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2013 16:16:48 -0500 From: Randy Benn

I have to say that I enjoy working on things like the boat. Unfortunately, I want to do more to it than I can justify if I am just going to sell it. A fellow I know is interested but he is not looking for a perfect boat. He just wants something cheap to go fishing with in an area where it may g

You're too far along to give up on it now. It sounds like a good boat. Hopefully, it either ends up being better than your other boat or you can get your money back out of it. If I had to pay for all of my labor on my projects, I would be the biggest loser. Usually, I do projects for fun, an
