long lost member
Haven't been on here in ages, but got a "Happy Birthday" note in my email today from the forum's robot. LOL
Sorry, still no Benz in my stable. Yet. Have talked a friend into buying a solid old 560SEC awhile ago tho'. I'll snag another W126 when the time is right for me.

Howdy Rick,
If I remember right you were working in a machine shop making parts for drones. If I'm right, "are you still at it"?

Happy birthday! 126 v8's are still bargain priced as along as you can afford the fuel! The 84 500's run RUG so they are the fuel economy specials of the breed!

560SEC
There's a couple of tired '87s for sale up the road from here a bit.
Ditmire Mercedes inventory list Can't say anything about the cars, but the dealer is a straight shooter. I've used him several times. |

Wow! Amazed at all you "old-timers" still hanging around! Guess I'll hafta peek in more often. I miss chatting with you guys. Had alot of fun here. And I have great memories of the get-togethers we had.
The friend that bought the 560 SEC I mentioned, hit a deer with it just a couple weeks after he bought it. He's trying to get me to buy it from him. Just needs a new hood. Otherwise it's super clean. But I've ventured off into expensive outdoor hobbies, as noted in my sig. Takes all my spare $$$ anymore. But I'll grab a Benz soon. I still get to see my 300SD. the gal that bought it works at the chiropractor office I go to, and she just lives a few blocks away. She's taken really good care of the 'ol beast. Makes me miss it everytime i see it. And yeah, I work at a machine shop still. We make parts for L3, for the Predator once in awhile. We'll get a big order of assemblies, and then won't see anything for awhile. Kinda strange. But we've kinda moved away from so much military, and are doing more medical now. Lotsa stuff for Varian, CT scan componants, and filmless X-ray stuff. It's all going digital now.

Howdy Rick,
Got an e-mail from a friend who works for L3 and he said they had laid off 1000 people.

Gads! No wonder we haven't gotten anything from them for awhile. that's bummer. Must be trickle down from the sequester-thingee crap.

Hey there Rick! Been a long time. Glad to see you're still around. Now if the others would come back we'd have a party.
