On National Recycling Day
 

We had a great tour of Potomac German Auto the MB Recyling Yard in Frederick Maryland . And plenty of members were looking for parts to recyle onto their own MB's, as well as talk about tech issues.

It was quite a sight to see all those new and old MB's - a bunch of brand New C classes that were on a transport that toppled over - talk about SAD - they still had all the factory protective covering and stickers on them. The new E class that was flooded during Isabel and that black G-55 that experienced a hot time...

It did not take much time for folks to find just what they needed for their own benz's - and finding the stuff, helping your friends find stuff, and thinking about what you needed was as much fun as the tour.

Thanks go out to Pat and everyone at PGAuto for all their help - and for the coffee and doughnuts too! We had great weather a super tour and lots of fun.
