June Pagoda Notes
« on: June 07, 2008, 06:54:10 »
The June Pagoda Notes issue is in the mail to North American full members.  This issue contains Joe Alexander's excellent tour of engine starting issues, components and solutions.  A must read.

If you are not a fully paid member, you are missing an excellent benefit of membership.

Thanks Jim and John,

I got mine today. I think the charts should make understanding and diagnostics a lot easier for the rest of the group!

Mine appeared in the mailbox two nights ago.  I've been sitting out in the garage for an hour or so each evening (much to the chagrin of she-who-must-be-obeyed!) with the hood open looking at the components on my car while re-reading Joe's article.  I think I now have a better understanding of what makes my SL tick!

Joe,

You're THE human encyclopedia on Mercedes'.  You can single handedly write the entire W113 technical manual.

Cheers,

when I made my move  from West Los Angeles to Long Beach. alot of my importantPagoda group information got misplaced. I would greatly appreciate if we have back issue copies of the news letter I can purchase from number 1 to present.
I am building a library for this  particular Mercedes-Benz model and any thing I can get my hands on I will be glad to share down the road with new members. Think of me as the club library!!

Bob,

Send me your address off line, and I will send you copies of the issues of Notes. They will not be in the pamphlet format, just printed copies.

By "right" side of the pond, you mean the East side not the "correct" side...yes, no?

I think he really means "correct" (as in, "no please don't do that", "no really, we've been there done that", "ok how many men do you need?", and the gem "I told you it was a bad idea!").

I have been waiting for my copy.

Of course, Australia is so far away and snail mail does take six weeks or so.

BTW what side of what pond am I on?
