No locations in profiles...
 
Is it just me or does it seem like a lot of folks are no longer listing where they are from. That's oane of the first things I always look for because it can help in diagnosing problems...
Ok, so Central Oregon is pretty broad but if you're from around here you know where I live...;) right Ross?

People should at least say what part of what state they are from at the very least.

whunter 02-22-2005 10:43 PM

Well.
 
I am happy if they have State listed.

Johnhef 02-22-2005 11:50 PM

ditto.

And, it would be additionally beneficial if folks would put their vehicle in their signature (year and model). Many members refer to their 123 or their 300D, but, without a year listed, the answers can be radically different. Simply putting it in your profile is almost certain to create confusion.

Both Roy and myself recently made this error regarding glow plugs (series type) for an older 300D. The poster did list the year of the vehicle in the body of the message, but, it likely would not have been missed if it was in the signature.

I concur.

I always assume that if a person does not list at least their STATE... that they have exwives or THE LAW looking for them.....

:eek:

How is "the law" going to find out the identity of "Leathermang" as an example?

Do they check a special Mercedes-Shop data base, that is secret even to Bill Wood, and cross check to find out who "Leathermang" is? :confused: :confused:

Milford, Ct.
 
Hatterasguy,
It sounds to me like you reside in the Woodmont section................perhaps even near the old E.M. Lowes estate......(now somewhat cut up into seperate lots......at least 30 years ago......................)
Best wishes always,
Spo out :cool:

whunter 02-23-2005 08:48 PM

We want the wheel center caps, hood and trunk star off your 1987 300SDL. :ROTFL: :D

Will list my location on profile to help kill the paranoia I guess and also hope to meet someone close to me on site. Not likely though as live in northern nova scotia. That of course has it's upside as all the parts cars are mine. You know the drill. If you do not sell those parts to me for virtually nothing it will just get pressed. Works everytime. Lots of good mechanical parts up here but the sheetmetal is bad. Low ultra violet radiation and heat so a lot of interior parts are really good though. Quite a few 123s showing up in this area. Were only 1-2 a couple of years ago but expect to top thirty or more this year. Made it to 14-16 last summer. Suspect majority are from american ebay transactions. Live in an area of thirty thousand people and that consists of town and surrounding local areas. :)
