LURKER'S Why Not Answer? YEAH YOU!

I'd like to know why so few of these advice postings go unanswered?
Its safe to say the knowledge deep within this forum is pretty spectacular. I know for a fact this is true because my dad was an avid collector & restorer, he too used to scan this forum, chat with other members & get his MB dose for the day.

Gear-heads y'all know your stuff, lend a hand & answer some of these questions when posted. Won't kill ya! You have a wealth of knowledge & it's a shame not to share it. How do you think the younger generation is going to keep these vintage models alive & kicking? They need your help or they wouldn't be asking.

For whatever it's worth, if you see a post & it's something you can lend a hand in clarifying, please do it. That's what these forums were intended for in the first place, sharing knowledge & so on.

Hope you're all having a splendid day & let's please keep this forum alive. By helping out your fellow enthusiasts we can make this forum the best MB resource out there.

Cheers
Ruth

Honestly, I enjoy reading some of these threads even though I don't own my vintage anymore. I try to share what I remember from the research I did bringing my car back to life. My guess is that other social media platforms have taken up their interests.
