MB diesel engine t-shirt - geek?

I saw this engine t-shirt for a BMW 2002.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-2002-Engine-design-T-Shirt-NR-2002-2002ti-2002tii_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ42606QQihZ015QQitemZ250012125530QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Got me think'n that a 617 engine shirt would be cool.

Wife thinks I'm a geek. (I am.)

Am I the only one who thinks this would be cool?

Thumbs up

That would be VERY cool!

Someone had made some shirts once from the technical 3-view of the G-wagen and I thought that'd be great to do with the W123 as well.

Why not?

I've got t-shirts and belt buckles and who knows what else with the BMW opposed twin motorcycle engine on it, so why not the classic 617 Mercedes engine. Maybe with "Mercedes Diesel" on it too. The people who have $80,000 late model M-Bs (and have never seen their engine, they have someone to look at the engine for them) won't appreciate it but then again they don't like us anyway.

Hey guys,

I know a guy who does t-shirt silkscreening and has given me trememdous deals in the past...I know him as the team manager for my son's ice hockey team. The last set of shirts he did for me (one ink color, small logo on front and large graphic on back) were around $8 each.

If someone has a good engine pic (I vote 616, heh) I'd be happy to try to set it up. I like the sample above...it might also be cool to have a wire-frame or even exploded pic like the Performance Products catalog.

I know I only have a handful of posts here...but I have a ridiculous number of posts on 190revolution.net. I'll get the shirts before I ask anyone for their hard-earned $$$, and I'd be happy to work via phone/email/whatever with anyone who wants to help coordinate.

Let me know, an MB diesel shirt would kick ass.

Cafepress.com is still a pretty good deal.

See what happens

Now that the suggestion has been made, I'll take a large and an XL.
Def black shirt with white engine. Maybe a saying on the back like "617. One million miles, just ask any unscrupulous seller on Ebay." j/k

I've seen a cutaway engine in b/w somewhere on this site.

The only issue with using 'found' images from the net is the hassle of obtaining permission to use them. Or the potential liability of using them without that permission.
