Re: [MBZ] McDonald's

Many many years ago I had a job that put me on the road all day long in town. Lunch became a survey of all the quick serve locations on the route. Had to be franchise, not owner operator to be part of the data set. McD was really close to the bottom. Burger Fling had the best low cost burger

My photo was of the car in front of the garage it was to live in. SWMBA had an earthquake this morning. No worthwhile damage. My garage is not stick built like hers. It is below grade stone and cement. Might squish a car with a strong enough tremor. clay monroe redgh...@comcast.net >

Re: [MBZ] Today's PNP trip, some of you might be angered

A couple yards have “rebuilder” cars that are functional and not for the monkeys to assault. Runners for the most part that need more attention than the PO was willing to give them. There is a scrap yard that has occasional blow out sales of their inventory that are not “rebuildables” per se.

Re: [MBZ] Today's PNP trip, some of you might be angered

A decent yard will have the tools (gantry or crane) to assist you in removal. A few I frequent tend to engage the driver of the fork lift to come over to act as crane and haul the big things out to your truck. clay monroe redgh...@comcast.net > On Nov 29, 2018, at 3:19 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin

Re: [MBZ] update #2 MBZ] Bought this yesterday.

The corollary is that SWMBA will work twice as diligently to keep space from becoming filled as the space fills. A balance is maintained until either the space expands/declines or SWMBA tosses in the towel. clay monroe redgh...@comcast.net > On Nov 29, 2018, at 1:25 PM, Dan Penoff via Merce

Re: [MBZ] update #2 MBZ] Bought this yesterday.

I have understood the theory of nature abhorring vacuums. I sold off my former Benz parts collection a few years ago. That made all manner of space. Which has been filled to the gills with more benz parts. Stuff I have no idea I had at hand. I have spent the past few weeks going through t

[MBZ] Stupid ask

I have fallen into a funding source to put Allen (SD) back on the road. SWMBA will probably be satisfied to not be taking part in putting me in newer iron. Funds are limited, but should cover acquisition of a turbo powered OM617 of reasonable miles. Anybody on the list have a reliable enough
