Yep! All the sites with Mercedes in the name are full of em

But still, to avoid a long conversation I avoid using the term "Peachparts" with the un-initiated. People, especially women, assume I've taken up baking pies or making Marmalade.

I frequently just say; "The Mercedes Forum" to refer to any website where Mercedes are discussed. Since there are several automotive forums I use, that's so much easier than being specific with people who don't really care that much about cars or the Internet.

Boy, apparently it's been 8 years since last visiting this nifty site: work, three bouts with various kinds of cancer, and finally retirement later, I thought I'd try it again. My original 76 300d has fallen victim to a number of ugly things. Just tonight drove home a very nice 84 300d turbo...ah, the fun. But it still has a few little tweaks needed, so I'll be perusing the pages here. Oh, and what...a newish, different site?!

Still a great place for information about benzos and other things. Welcome back!
