well, guess i'm not going Audi.....

[John Larson]

"I love old classic interesting anything and this car
certainly fit that bill...

It does cruise nice and very solid...  also easy to
work on..."

John, calling the big MB boneyard in LA:  "Hi Daniel, this is John at West
Coast Garage!"
"What can I do for you, John?"  "I need a price on a 300D non-turbo engine."
"Lemme guess.  A rod through the block...................  I don't have any,
they're all that way when we get 'em."  Makes door handles seem a minor
irritant, doesn't it?

Another fun thing is the 10 miles of vacuum lines for the doors, the climate
controls, and the ignition switch cut-off.

Count me on the wouldn't really want to own a Mercedes side .............
