Waqas: I just sent this message to editor@sl113.org and it came back as "No mailbox at this location." So, here is my message for all to see.
Congratulations on a very well done issue of Pagoda World. The reproduction quality seems much better than past issues. Did you go to offset printing from a color laser printer? Coverage of The European Event was great, too. Laura and I attended that event and had a marvelous time. I was the photographer for the big group picture (or at least I believe that was the one I setup and took as I am not actually in the picture).
On a separate note. In the future I am open to receiving Pagoda Notes as an electronic file ONLY. The reproduction of the copy that is mailed is not nearly as good as what I can printout on my own printer at home. If you have an "opt-out" for the mailed edition, I choose that to (1) save the club the costs of printing and postage and (2) get a better quality printout. Our local Mercedes-Benz Club of America (San Francisco Bay Area Section) now sends to about 2/3 of our members an electronic newsletter each month and it makes a big difference in our costs as well as in timely delivery of the newsletter.
Best regards,
Richard
P.S. A possible article for Pagoda World or Pagoda Notes would be to have Albrecht Stachel discuss the 1-2-3 Ignition System that he now distributes. He presented this at the MBCA StarTech in late April and it was a really interesting topic. The 1-2-3 Ignition System builds a complete, high-tech, ignition system into the basic distributor, but offers lots of electronic controls that improve driveability and performance without having an external electronic ignition module to corrup the appearance of our prized W113s. This would also be a good topic for PUB, because Stachel is in Wisconsin and could easily make his way to PUB in Blacklick, OH. /rs
