I've heard, not sure if true, Superglue is used during some surgeries. A
good doc friend of mine tells me, the knack to a good stitch is not to get
the two cut bits butted up together, but to get the two edges kinda upright,
and pulled together. I'm told, if they are butted up and stitched, there
on an old Mac computer), but I had lots of glue left over, which did a nifty

I could do that, but to factor in travel, gas and my time, not really worth
going that route, not to mention the time now spent at the border when
crossing over either way. I have no problem with pay the taxes and exchange
rate, if any, but some of the customs brokers are just silly prices.

A few years back when there were a lot more W126s on the roads here, you
would see the odd, Euro model. I always loved the slight differences
between those, and our Canadian spec cars. I also thought the way they put
the folds in the seats on the Euro cars was much cooler and more modern
looking.
I often see pics of Euro spec Mercedes running around with trail hitches. I
think you could get them factory ordered over there? I was told, they
aren't an option here, and putting one on your car will void the warranty.
Did Euro models get extra tranny coolers? Maybe Mercedes were worried about

What were those stickers all about? I've seen them before, and even on a
few imports, usually from Germany (D) or the England (UK). Was it just a
fashion things, pride of where you live when traveling on the continent, or
were they required at some point?
I also wonder about British plates, when
I think the clubman is due here soon, if not already here. Yeah, I love
some of the small cars in Europe. They seem to know how to make a small car
fun and good looking. Most small cars here seem to me, to constantly remind
you how little money you spent all the time. Oh well, just makes vacatio
Almost as cool as the two horns on some Euro cars. The polite "city" horn,
toot-toot, and the get the *^&% out of the left lane horn reserved for

Run out of gas?? I guess if you only have to fill up once every 1000 kms,
it's easy to forget the car needs fuel to run. lol. I, unfortunately, am
reminded often that my car runs on gas. hee hee.
I seem to have a leak in my tank, but when I drive slower, it leaks much
less for some reason. Hmm
Yeah, have to agree. When last in Italy, I had a 2 litre gas car. 3 ppl
and all our bags in the. At that time, gas was a little better than double
what it was here. I filled it up when I started, and it took premium. Cost
about $100. During my stay, I added aother $20, and that got me almost
I think there are all different levels of spec for the car. They have some
really hot versions over in the UK, and other countries. Selling such a car
here for $45,000 might be hard, but it's pretty much a little rally car, and
I think pretty good value for what it is. To a degree, I think many
Yup, we had one when they were new. lol. My dad was in the car business,
so we tried all the new stuff at the time.
Back then, if you mentioned timing belts, most would look at you kind of
funny. Push rod ruled the day. Our other car was a Lincoln Mk. V at the
time, with a 460.
As for the des
When living overseas as a kid, we had two Ford Capri's. Great cars. I
think the Capri's at the time were manufactured in Germany. A friend also
had a Cortina here in Canada, bought new.

I know the issue is getting some money back for paying for the CarFax, and
the annoyance of dealing with a guy like this, but on the bright side, at
almost $10,000, another one will come along soon.

most palatable solution for me is to make sure I'm putting the gas into a
car that I really enjoy driving. If you really enjoy your time behind the
wheel of whatever you're driving, seems to make handing over your money at
the gas station a little easier. :-)

now that we're on the topic of hydraulic fluid and jacks, how often should a
floor jacket be serviced and the fluid changed. I've had mine about 10
years now, and only use it about 4-5 times a year, and it seems to work
fine, no leaks or anything. should I be doing something to keep it
healthy?
