Is the superturbodiesel site guy on here?

Is the guy that runs that site and lives in the Atlanta area on this forum?

He might be a former member who either got banned or left on his own. The guy I am thinking of's name escapes me but he tended to get very snippy if anybody dared to ask questions about his wisdom.

I think your thinking of Lance, AKA ForcedInduction and various. Winmutt is sort of active here and the STD guy from Atlanta, IIRC.

Several Years ago ForcedInduction was the moderator on one of the other Mercedes forums (not benzworld.) I believe he was based in Colorado.

There was a moderator here that was a super hard ass too. Brian Carlton I think it was.

I swear, I sold my 300D. Then this whole place got shot up over night and one of our members is now a youtube star. It's like i'm taking crazy pills.

Brian was good too. His knowledge of the old benz was tip top. He could be tough but was usually fair (you know, unless he was dinging me!)

Who is a U tube star?

Any idea where Brian went? He gave me some good advice off the board that was spot on.
