That's what it looked like ForcedInduction. (post #2)

Some of you guys are so funny! I was actually going about 60 in the 'company' pickup. The 240 was smoking when it went by. It went one way and I had to go the other. Yes, I'm slow, but I'm slow mentally.

It's amazing the response from you folks. Ya'll showed me neat pictures of wagons I'd never seen before. Plus, the personal experiences associated with them. I just wish I had time to visit more often.

This is a great forum!

I'd think that a 240 wagon would be pretty slow with the extra weight. But then again, I've got 2 more cylinders and school buses race out to get in front of me so IDK.

While on the subject of diesels you never see here:

Am I missing something Randy?? I've seen ML CDI 4Matics and R CDI 4Matics here in Austin. Is it the 300 that you're referring to as something we don't get in the US?

He probably means the old style ML made before MB pu**ified it from an SUV into a cute 'ute.

Then I'm mistaken, I thought CDI MLs were non existant on this side of the pond.
