Well said, thanks guys for a great 2 years. Looking forward to many more! Couldn't own a MB without this forum and Fastlane and Phil.

The same goes for me. Anyone can do a quick search and find the answer to their problems. I know I've been helped by these forums with my new/old W126 300SE.

I have gotten invaluable info from this site, before doing several maintenance or repair jobs ... People like Gilly and Larry Bible and others are a tremendous asset to all the members. Carry on guys; you are doing a great service to all of us .... Ben Carter

Without this site there is no way I could keep my SL running and certainly no way I could pay the cost to have someone do what I have done. Thank you all who have contributed, especially the moderators and tech posters. This seems to be the most technical of the sites.

The perspective and knowledge of some of the key players on this board exceeds any automotive forum I have ever come across.

I believe the people here can keep any well maintained Benz on the road indefintely.

Thank you, guys.

I would not own an M.B if Donny did not tell me about this site and all of the great info i could and have received here. My thanks to all!

Without a doubt, I have been spared much agony and saved considerable $$$ from knowledge gained here - if only to talk intelligently to my mechanic.

I say the resurrection of his old thread is "timely" because I m a "visitor" on another forum (no names - no flames) that is in the midst of a big to do about "visitors" posting. I read most of it for the entertainment value and to gain some insight into their regular posters.

Apparently the Christmas bills have started coming in - there seems to be some pent up anger over there and its getting unleashed in the forum.

I've noticed that one of our favorites has popped back in - quit making a stranger of yourself Steve! (stevebfl) Stop by more often.

Thanks to all for the knowledge and help (and I'll post when I can be of help)

Kevin
