If a member's possession of an inflated opinion of their own wisdom or knowledge is your criteria for not holding them in high regard, I guess most of us won't be receiving a Christmas card from you this year.

Way-ell, say there honey baby, speaking as a carpenter I'd be happy to press the matter, to get a feel for the substance of your argument that is, and offer up my expert opinon on the point you raise.

It would only take about 10 grand to make 'em that way, though I doubt the bounce would be quite as seductive.

You're not the only one that doesn't miss him. Nor will anyone miss me when I leave. IMHO, since this was a Mercedes forum before it became a Peach forum, an occasional post having to deal with fixing or something Mercedes related would have been nice. Did he even own a Benz?

He apparently owned a '95 E300D, but it wasn't in his signature. Sometimes I wonder if some people who hang out here even own or want a Benz, like PaulC who's all into Ford/GM SUV's. PaulC, do you even own a Benz or a peach?

I miss him, he really knew his stuff about WW2. I had until recently some pictures his dad took, and sadly I lost them on my computer. Amazing pictures.
