Let me ask you, how does your SD drive with over 400K on the ticker? Still nice and tight?

Aaron:

Yes, she's doing great. She's a daily driver with a 230 mile/day commute. I think the more they are driven, the better they do. With 1,000mi/week average, I can not imagine driving a lesser vehicle.

Your car looks a lot like a 300D as opposed to a 300TD (station wagon). What happened to the rear door?

Here's my Mercedes driven by the 616 engine. These are rarely seen in the US:

Oops, I don't think I can spin the image.

Wow thats cool. I've been around Motorhomes for a long time and this one is new on me. What is the camper called and what country was int sold in? or was it a conversion or home brew on a Mercedes chassis?

Built as a one-off by Macneille and Sons in the UK. Lots of European companies build motorhomes on Mercedes commercial chassis. Go to www.mobile.de and do a search under Wohnmobile, then pick Mercedes as the mfg and you'll see tons of them.
I've had this one in the UK for about 2 years. Bought it to tour Europe for a couple of years. I'm selling it at the end of this years's trip.

yea i need to rename my sig.

some lady hit it. my dad was pulling out of a strip mall with it, and the next entrance was a krispy kreme. so this gigantic women who was probably drolling for her krispy kremes made a left into it, but failed to yield to my dad (who just made a right), and hit him.

insurance covered it, but we used the money to fix a collision my mother had, with a light pole. so my dad, being a conservative, had the door damage repaired cheaply.
