I will second skippy's statement.


Most of what I choose to read here gains me more knowledge. This is a great resource indeed.

Threads with solid information and lots of pictures are instantly bookmarked. I have a Mercedes folder with several folders inside: cooling / A/C, electrical, engine, instrumentation, intake / turbo / exhaust, suspension, and trim / exterior. A lot are, "hmm, I should do that"
Iam like this, but I read all the 123 chassis and 617 engine threads.
I don`t have plans to owning one (124/60x engine) they are too complex with my way of thinking. Iam stuck in an old fart time warp .
then I tell my self every now and then, well dummy watch out what you don`t want, you may end up with it . so read this stuff.

OK so I lied, I have read some . Iam a closet reader

I need to set up a mercedes folder with sub folders, might make life simpler. my son in law was showing me how to do it. then I get home and, now what did he say? my file system is a pile of note pads, piles of scrap paper with notes scribbled on them, then later can`t read my own writing.

I did up grade the system couple weeks ago. I bought an old Rolodex.

Anyone that thinks a 240D is slow drives too fast.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

I assume he showed you how to set up files and sub files electronically in your computer files. That's the only way to go. My Rolodex went to the paper recycle a long time ago!
