Congratulations on passing another milestone. Do you have your 250,000KM badge?

Just go to a local MB dealer and ask. I think you just have to fill out a form and they have to sign it. A friend of mine did it last year. They send you a badge and a nice little package of stuff.

It appears the excitement was building between 250,000 and 250,003!
At 120 mph I imagine you were calling friends on your cell with the other handto tell them about the milestone ! I like the concept!
