How did I find this place?

I'd been searching the net for info about my power aerial and the name just kept coming up on various sites.So I thought what the hell it can't be any worse than some of the places I'd visited!I might not ever win the lottery,but I'm damn glad I found this place It's saved me a small fortune.
I visited this place on and off for about a year as a guest before I actually joined.One of my better decisions was this decision Bear

Donnie Drummonds (Benzmac) and Bill Woods (Webmaster)started this great virtual shop. I was invited to come on over and check the place out by Donnie when I was looking for answers on the rec.alt.autos.mercedes newsgroup.

A simple question that was met with BS answers, Donnie's response was something to the effect of - for answers to your question come on over, it will be answered in short order. I figured what the hey, came on over and have never gone back to the newsgroup for anything.

BTW: I got correct info, in a matter of minutes, on the question I was asking. Ain't this a great place ?

I was looking for pics of MBenz and came to this site....but didn't have a Benz so I left.

Got a Benz a few months later and kicked myself for not remember this site.

Somehow found this site again and never left. :-)

Thanks to this site...I've really gotten to know more about cars and my car in general. Also can't forget all the friendly helpful users and owners of this site.

Howdy All,
Someone somewhere had posted a web page about a review on the G500 so I looked it up and the pic that I saw was great. I kept going back to the pic. Then I started checking out the rest of mercedesshop.com and ended up here. And I've been abusing everyone with Mog stuff since

It all started when I found an add for a 500E in a magazine and realized my dream car was affordable.

I decided to search for information and found Mercedeshop through a 500E web site kind of by accident, I was hooked immediately.

I'm positive that I would not have purchased a 500E had I not found this site.

So I have to say thank you to the creators for making it possible to get my dream car and when I need parts I'll be sure to help pay for this site.

Member AKRY, who I ahve known for years online playing computer games with, led me here when I told him I was buying a benz. Without this site, I'd be lost and I wouldn't have been able to meet everyone and interact with such wonderful people, like the ones who use this site.

I found this site after I inherited my father's 87 300E. I lurked in the wings for a few months after joining in early 1999, reading everything I could. My first posts were asking about routine maintenance concerns on a neglected car, the Sportline suspension, and waxing!

I've been learning continuously and unfailingly entertained ever since!

i found this great site when gathering info about the 300e i was considering buying.

then i forgot about this until i started looking for euro lights, i've never been able to leave.

is there a cure?

i probably wouldn't take it anyway

AWESOME SITE WITH AWESOME INFO FOR AWESOME MEMBERS !

I found it through David Lefebvre's Mercedes Mailing List. Great and all, but MBCA political discussions weren't my cup of tea, now.

I'm surprised that more mailing listers haven't surfed over here.
