I just wanted to take a second to thank everybody here for being a member of this forum. It just really dawned on me that I dont know whered Id be without all of the knowledge and resources that we all have at our fingertips here on mercedesshop. This board keeps me grounded when anything goes wrong with my car.. without that id be pulling my hair out thinking that the problems I have are much bigger than they seem. Ive also become more of a DIY'er since joining.

Most of the time im browsing posts, but every now and then when I have a problem, I always know I'll get some sort of useful advice here.

Thanks to all of you fellow dieselers!!!!!

I'll certainly join you on this one. Thanks to the folks on this forum my MB problems seem (mostly) like fun projects. That would certainly not be the case if not for the advice from the more experienced. This type of help has me going dizzy reading the ACC electrical schematic because of a forum member asking me questions and prompting me to keep testing/looking. When he asked if the fuse on the OVP was good I read the question and thought what in the world is an OVP and where will I find it. Seemed good to hold the relay in my hand and pull the 10 amp fuse to see that it was still good. Oh well . . . time to get back to my ACC problem.

Veloce300DT, I can't agree with you more. The help I have received just from lurking at times has been invaluable, but the specific help I have received has been amazing.

Randy, Greg and the others nearby that have always been quick to assist have made it a pleasure to be a part of the board. The quick throw together meet was cool too, and I can't wait for the "Greg cooks you to death" get together that I've been warned about!

PEH keeps us educated in more than just cars....I love it when people are not afraid to help raise the IQ ! It also helps that most of the people here can take a joke.

As long as I stay away from the open forum, this is like home to me....

Thumbs up to this forum, it would be hard for me to own an old MB without it.
