I was told by my SWMBO that Coach has a lifetime warranty. Send it to the fctory and they will repair it free of charge. Incidentally, my Steiner binoculars went south and the company (in Fort Collins) repaired it for free. On Sun, Oct 4, 2015 at 8:35 PM, archer75--- via Mercedes <

Re: [MBZ] Global cooling

No damage here just 16-20" rain at our coordinates. Crazy. Roads closed and flooded everywhere though, not sure if we can even get off the island right now. Not sure where we would go if we could. It's getting bad midstate now too, flooding very bad up there. --R (sent from my miniPad) On

Re: [MBZ] Non-Hurricane Damage

The aftermarket paint on the 300D suddenly failed last winter, same as yours. Rapid peeling of clear coat on all horizontal surfaces within a month. On my car, I suspect inadequate thickness, can't tell you why a Benz paint job would fail suddenly. Peter

BTW, mention of SWMBO's purse reminds me: My SWMBO has a Coach leather purse purchased in 1972 in prep for her 2-to-3-week visit with me in Thailand while I was flying BUFF missions to Vietnam. The trim around the top is getting slightly worn, and she asked me yesterday to try to find where

Glad to hear y'all are hale and hearty! Those gators make good eatin and nice boots fer ya and purses fer SWMBO. 18.25" rain recorded down the road at the exclusive gated resort community of Kiawah, their road was under water last night and their gate was under water too, I guess the moat

I watch NHK World (jap) TV news on one of the PBS subchannels every evening, they have a good weather report. In 25min they do a very good job on world news and weather. Japan has been hammered too with those storms, huge winds and flooding in different areas almost every week it seems,

Boone Hall recorded 24" rainfall as of this morning since Friday, looks like it has been raining in your (and that) area most of the day. Just started here again, hard, and the tide is the highest I have seen it on the estancia, even higher than yesterday. I just got back from the store, the

Re: [MBZ] Global cooling

Glad to hear you survived. We did have just a couple flickers of the lights, but SWMBO didn't notice, nothing that would make the news. Drove around Mt Pleasant a bit this p.m., saw a few houses in low areas that had water at the foundation but nothing inside the first floor. Big local

Aye, if Coach can't handle it, look for a shoe repair shop, they've got the heavy duty sewing machines to handle leather. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On October 4, 2015 1:54:32 PM EDT, Mitch Haley via Mercedes wrote: > > >> On October 4, 2015 at 1:48

Today we went to church, and for about 20 minutes it stopped raining so when we got to the church parking lot the car ('95 E300, 124.131) was dry. I found two places where the clear coat is suddenly bubbling up and separated from the paint, a big spot on the roof and a spot on the middle of the

Speaking of flat batteries, about two weeks ago I found the battery in SWMBO's Infiniti was dead, as in nearly zero volts. The car has been sitting a lot because it needs a new steering rack (about $350 for an aftermarket on RockAuto) and it is not a high priority project, so no time to devote to
