Free to good home, orphaned owners manual

I have an owners manual for a 1985 300D/300CD. Is anyone with an 85 W123 missing one? The first email I get with a mailing address gets it.

What a quick reponse!

Hey I should have ebayed this thing! A $75 reserve. "These diesel car owner's manuals are known to remain clearly legible for well over 500,000 miles...."

I deliberately said I would send it to the first guy who emailed me because I did not want to be put on the spot in deciding who was most deserving. Bonehead emailed first so I will send it to him.

Given his recent good fortune, I am sure Bonehead would have no qualms about copying the thing and sending that to you. [Big hint...]

I don't know that it is legitimate to shorten BoneheadDoctor to ' Bonehead" since that was just the adjectives referring to someone else ( for whom we had no respect )..... LOL

It's just me. I am a lazy typist, who should be doing something more productive anyway. In the future I will refer to him as "The Good Doctor".

I used to be TheVirginiaDude here.......got banned on open forum by a flaming butthole named The Doctor...........who deleted all my prior posts...which is why you can see quotes by me but never see the post that was quoted.

To get even with him I named myself Boneheaddoctor....I tried DaBoneheadDoctor but was 2 characters too long.......his signature line had "Da Doctor is in"
