My 300D turned 180,000 (pic)
Hey all,
Today was a nice magical day. My 87 300D ticked over 180,000 miles on the freeway somewhere out here in Southern Cali. I just happened to have my camera on-hand and decided to make it a photo op: I know, I know... I missed it by a mile. -Mike

Nice! no blurring of the picture, must have been a smooth road, or could it have been on a dyno? (ah, not wanting to be a party pooper, I just had to ask!)
Maybe I'll try that next time I cross New Mexico. Dieseldiehard 1971 220 (gas) 4-spd manual 104041 1979 300TD w/ ’85 turbo engine 289560 1983 300D 237490 1985 300TD 206150 1975 300D (looking for an engine) 1987 300D 250K newest addition |

Trip Odometer
How did you reset your trip odometer while moving? I have a 300SD and thought that you would do terrible things to your speedometer if you reset while moving. Maybe the difference in years between models.
Congrats on the milestone. I have about 22,000 more miles to go to catch up to you.

Nice smooth road, yes. I waited for a break in traffic to do the run and ended up accelerating from a stop on an on-ramp all the way to that speed (and look at that temp gauge, still normal!).
As for my trip odo, it's broken. Broke earlier that day. Ugh. I was pulling a "nardo" when I took the pic... if you watch the video of the 190E 16v at Nardo on the MB website, you'll notice that the drivers are going 150+mph with one hand on the wheel -Mike
