Re: [MBZ] Diesel S Class making a comeback.

Sounds like a lot of work! hee hee. Just ask the dealer when they intend to offer a new diesel coupe here. Who knows what Mercedes strategy is for the coming years. They have mentioned they want to increase diesels sales in North America. Ed 300E On 16 January 2011 07:38, Mitch Haley wrote:

Hey Guys, I read that they showed a new S Class diesel that is due to make a return to the US market this year. S350. Should be interesting. Regular gas is up to $114.3 per/litre here today, and diesel is around $112. For months, it seems diesel was more expensive than regular, but I see regul

[MBZ] eBay 6.3

I'd love one, but this is NOT a $39,000 car! Underside is very untidy, and the wood looks like it was revarnished with a mop! Have to put a bit more time and money into it, before you can ask this kind of money, even for a 6.3, in my opinion. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mercedes-Benz-300-Seri

Re: [MBZ] UB

I've thought about loading it up on an older PC to see what it can do. I'm not a PC guy in general, and while not totally unhappy with my current PC running Vista, I'm not overly impressed either. It would be fun to run a copy of Ubuntu and see how it does. If it surprised me, I might switch my

Re: [MBZ] holy crap I love this car

It is an older car, but even so, I don't think the conditions reflects a true 39,000 mile car. I think the rubber bits in the engine had a quick wipe down with an oily rag, but hard to believe some of the lines, bolts, and connects could look like that with such low mileage. Then again, maybe it'

Re: [MBZ] OT Boxing Day Festivities

I make wine with my Dad, and tried beer once, as I'm fond of a jar of English ale, or a good German wheat beer. I bought all the gear, tried the wheat beer, which turned out amazing. Well, when I say amazing, I mean while in the carboy. Trying to get it from that, into the bottles was a differen

Re: [MBZ] Gwagens and Cwagens

Isn't it amazing how well our older cars are still supported by Mercedes, and what we can get at the dealer for them. I was thinking of picking up a new case for the service books and manual for my W124. The original clear plastic one is cracking and yellowing a bit. Wonder if they have anything
