Larry,

Being located "downunder", I am a long way from the majority of members on this forum. I also don't get to spend as much time logged-in here as I would like. Nonetheless, I still consider this forum to be the best for technical talk about our cars and that is due to knowledgeable and helpful members such as you. I have been made to feel welcome here and on numerous occasions you have assisted me with your replies. I have also enjoyed reading many of your numerous posts where you have assisted others.

I too hope that you keep at least one MB and remain somewhat active on this forum. Mind you, if you do come to sell your 300E, I just wish there was some easy and inexpensive way to get it all the way down here. Many here would love to get their hands on it as we were never so fortunate to get a W124 with a manual tranny behind a six-cylinder.

Good luck, enjoy your new car and thanks again for your help over the past few years.

Greg
