PHOTOS Dallas/Houston/Austin Meet in Centerville TX 7-29-06
 Convoy from Austin. We picked up Randy in Milano on the way.  First to arrive at the BBQ place.. I lost one of my flags while on the road.   Group shot. More pictures at http://zbros.net/~marko/mercedes/meeting-7-29-06/ A very big thank you to the organizers and everyone who shared their knowledge. My brand new a/c compressor siezed on the way home. Now the engine grinds to a halt as soon as I turn on the A/C..

 This diesel's engine bay was so clean, you could eat off of it!    This S-class wasn't there for the meet, but rather a park attendee, but I felt they were worth photographing.  This similar looking S-class however, was there for the meet.   This is the clean engine bay 300SD  Seen on the grille of the 6.9.
