2006-02-02 Thread Potter, Tom E
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.

Did he change his driving habits at all?  I've seen 10-15% changes in
mileage in some cars just from driving slower.  If someone is testing a
new fuel economy additive it's likely they'll drive more carefully for a
while.

Re: [MBZ] speaking of LT don and his recent post...

2006-02-02 Thread Werner Fehlauer
I was on all the old MBCA lists from the early '90s, and received a lot of 
help and good suggestions from many good people.  Unfortunately, there were 
a few "high and mighty" people who resented using the "delete" key, and they 
managed to kill the entire list structure.  The one person who was the force 
behind the lists and who kept order was Kathy Kennel, a past president of 
the club.  She was affectionately known as the "list Mom", and highly 
respected and now sadly and sorely missed, as she passed away after a 
valiant battle with cancer.


One detail for correction:  from my recollection, no one at the national 
business office was responsible for the list shutdowns -  There are only a 
very few very hard working people there keeping the records and the 
organization running.  Decisions for the club are made by the Board, and 
thankfully we now have a more congenial regime doing that job.


When the MBCA lists closed down, I became a charter subscribe to several mbz 
lists, where most of the former MBCA subscribers then showed up.


I believe that these lists serve a real and very valuable service, and thank 
all the good people who give freely of their time and advice.  And for those 
that have a bad day, there's always the "delete" key...

I have no idea how I ended up on here. Probably Google. Wouldn't be the
first time that something I found on Google has screwed up my life!  [Anyone

He can barely run one, and you want him to run two?

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.

I will start, I was lead to the RE and MBCA list by Diann Quinn from 
Chicago(wisonsin maybe), signed up.  Was on the MBCA list till it was 
canned by the high and mighty at the home office.  Later kicked off the 
RE list and was a founding charter memember of mbz.org in 98(or was it 
99?)  Anyway, thats my story.
