I've been silent for a while now, but after some thought and support from several of you, for better or for worse, the Cap'n has resurrected. Having joined several other forums, it is clear that this is home, and so, in the words of Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull;

"I'm going back to the ones that I know
With whom I can be what I want to be"

Glad to see you back. I was wandering what happened to you.

Hey Cap'n, did you ever fix your 300E, or did you give up and tow it to Steve Brotherton's shop?

good to have the cap'n back to steer the wayward ship. :p

check out the new (to you) GTG forum for EP's post on the AMG photo shoot coming up in canton (GA) in a couple of weeks.

First of all, Paul, there is some good news on my car, more on that later. Spock, I left the forum at a time that seemed turbulent and I lost my positive attitude. I have continued to have contact with several members and some have asked me to return. It seems to have settled down now and think I can offer something. Besides that, somebody has to give you guys some comic relief once in a while or it'll get too serious! Thrillbilly, I'll try to get up there for the GTG, best I remember, El Presidente owes me a beer or two! To G-Benz, Mikemover(break a stick for me), Rickg, drbrandini and Daimler300CD thanks again.

Hey Cap'n!! Glad you're back!!

I agree!

Welcome back Cap'n, the Brigade has done it's sweep and it's safe to walk the streets again.

Is it time for "Kum-ba-ya" yet?
