Welcome. When do they have the Garlic Festival in Gilroy? I was in the area once during "harvest" and you could smell the garlic from about 25 miles away Don't park that new car downtown during the harvest:p

'03-E320 and "02 Porsche C4S
Thank you all for the warm welcome.

It may take me a while to get decent snaps and then figure out how to upload them, but I will do so. I could practice uploading using a picture of my '02 Porsche C4S, but that would be sacrilege on an MB forum

I am always impressed at the quality and quantity of information that is available from the various auto enthusiast forums.
