On 2/1/06, Kaleb C. Striplin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Would be interesting to find out how people came to be on this list(or the previous mbz.org) Well, if we're sharing ... I had been doing some research on BioDiesel. Trying to educate myself about the differences between DinoDiesel, and AlternaDiesels. Came to the conclusion that what I really want is a 116 / 123 Diesel MB. Shop right up the street from where I work deals primarily in MB work. Started talking to Chris up there about MB's, Diesel ones particularly. He had just gotten back a 108 that used to be his personal car he'd sold to a customer / friend and was selling for him. (So he knew a lot about it). So I started researching 108's and ran across the mbz.org board / page / system and joined the mailing list. Didn't buy the 108, though I really, really should have. Mostly because I didn't have the $$ he was asking. But I had almost got him to agree to a pay here type of deal before he sold it to another guy. *sighs* Lost opportunities. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. -- Knowledge is power... Power Corrupts. Study hard... Be Evil.

Re: [MBZ] speaking of LT don and his recent post...
I can't seem to remember how I fell in with this bunch of misfits (I'm getting old too). I joined MBCA when Kathy was President and dropped out when the politics got unbearable. I think I just stumbled into this list on the Internet. Although I am without an M-B at the moment, I still enjoy the list. I can keep tabs on you characters, and maybe I will find my Benz before Kaleb snatches it up.

It must have been '96 or '97 or so when I joined the local MBCA chapter. They had a scavenger hunt outing at the Barrett Jackson Aution (before it was crazy expensive to get near it). Boy child and I went, kicked booty on the scavenger hunt (filling out info on MB stuff at the auction) and then went out to eat with the club oldesters. At some point during the night, someone was talking about how the guys with older cars (they all had wicked new ones, of course) are talking on that new fangled internet thing and someone gave me Kathy Kennels phone number. I called her the next day and she hooked me up.
