Well,
Nothing special..just a Motor Head kid from the '50s who started working on Old Benz's starting around early '60s. I was the Kid in a small New England town that was referred to by the neighbors as that guy who " Works on those damn GERMAN cars " ...
That was the era of the Ford/Chevy Rivalry days and most did not pay much attention to a Benz...
I had worked at repair shops in and out of the '60s and finally owned a couple of small shops the 70/s/80's..
Also Collected several chassis, including several 113 chassis cars and they are probably my Tech Speciality. Had several of them thru the years and worked on so many that I became fairly well versed on all models.
My favorite of that bunch is the 250SL..and I still own a 1967 Early Euro version which has been with me forever.
So, I am basically still just a veteran Benzhead , still tinker , have a few Tech friends that share info and hang with , still drive Benzs, and I have somehow kept up technically... probably just my progressive nature and curiosity in all things Benz...
The Forum is just a way for me to spread what I learned or forgot to the next generation of Benzers.. I do write on several other sites , [ not all Benz related/other Hobbies] ....but this is my favorite Benz one.
I work on-line many hours , so it is easy for me to sneek over here in between my work.
There are several members here that are Pro Techs and Shop Owners and they deserve the credit for this fine group..
That's about it......
