Stay away from the conversion kit!

Do not, repeat, do not even consider the conversion kit. Take your car to a local Mercedes mechanic and ask them to check the system. The belt was off my 250 and I was blowing ambient air, so I...

Not a beach in LA!

It wasn't in LA - I took a trip up the PCH to San Fran in the ol' 250 about a year ago. I think this beach was about 3 hours up the 101 - some huge sand dune beach that caters to buggies. A state...

Just north of LA... Been meaning to take a trip there to check it out, but they're not really user friendly. Last time I called, they told me they prefer internet sales over walk-ins. Whatever!

Last trip up the coast (up the PCH to San Fran then down the 5 to LA) I ran my 71 250 at a constant 90 - 95 the entire way down the 5 - still had lots of play in the pedal, and was passing many, many...
