Hey John... something just came to mind. When I first got my 300D (late fall of 2011), I remember reading your thread on STD about converting a W201 5-speed to work with the 240D. I didn't know who anyone in the 'Benz forum world was at that point -- I only joined PP almost a year later -- and so I only more recently realized that you are that guy. After reading your thread, now almost two years ago, I remember thinking that "Man, that guy is so cool! I wonder if I'd ever get to meet him someday... nahh, I'd never be that lucky."

True story .
