Actually, a lot of people have registered at MBworld in the past. They cross post a bit over here as well, so it's not a huge surprise that you're recognising a few names.

BW...

Both Drew and Frank have e-mailed me saying it will be fixed (yesterday), but I burn enough time flipping through forum pages without having to wait for load times liek we've been seeing. The line was supposed to be fixed last week, I thought. I'll check back from time to time to see how it is, but I can't keep reloading looking for new posts like I usually do.

I'm experiencing the same issues as everyone else, so rest assured, you're not the only ones. What happened was that our T1 line was partially broken, and as such the temporary short was causing the lost of the packets. Not enough to render the site completely offline, but enough to slow down things tremendously. So in this case, it's not a server issue.

Anyway, I'll let everyone know when it's been rectified. I'm sure that you'll all check anyway

I feel left out, neither Drew or Frank emailed me to let me know about BW

lets not trip over each other rushing to the shop for speed welding now. I can't wait either. But in PA, I suppose I'll be last to receive it.

mine is going to be easy because I've use the clamp to connect the main connecting point, but I spot welded the middle point though.

Hi Drew <<<waving vigoursly from Tampa>>> just checking on my old ML group, things are great in W210 land, just had Steve K (EuroPimp) retrofit a comand in my W210. Now the dash looks a bit more like my ML did. Have the doors (glue) stopped falling apart yet? has the fuel problem been resolved in the newer models?
