Heartiest congratulations John. I'm sure every member of the W203 forum will be delighted. You are a massive asset & one of the most helpful, knowledgeable & obliging people on the forum.

Hope you will still have time for some STAR help.

I tried to nominate you Tommy but was told that a smurf wasn't tall enough and therefore wouldn't be able to keep his head above it. Maybe next time. Sorry.
