1) This is a Mercedes forum for Mercedes owners but not exclusively so. Not everyone on here presently has an MB, and I'd hate to think that this excludes them from joining in. Not all discussions evolve purely around MB cars, and this includes you.
I guess the point I was making was that Hawk made point 1 and then point 3, which basically are the same although he was trying to separate the 2.
I don't actually remember saying anything about it being Mercedes Owners only, but that can easily be taken out of context in the way I worded my answer.
I do have to say, a while back, some members, still present, did try to make the point that non mercedes owners should not be part of the forum!!!!
Enthusiasts do not have to be owners, but enthusiasts may well think that Ssangyong going down the plug hole is rather amusing, and removing thier cars from production is actually a good thing.
Imagine the Joy when BMW go!!!!
The main point I was getting at, was that first post I made in this thread, was obviously light hearted. If I did not find anything of use, I would not have posted, however I felt it could do with a touch of lightness.
Hawk actually took the post literally, and made an attempt, in what appears to be, all seriousness and answered it. Having read a number of his posts about other manufacturers, they appear to be doom and gloom. I felt a bit of joviality would help things along, What ever the state of the financial crisis in this world, we are not all about to die, the world is not about to end, it won't stop spinning and we will not be slung into space. Mercedes will still be here not matter what. And even if it went bust, your cars do not turn into dust, so we can keep them going as long as we feel like lavishing attention on them.
SSangyong may have gone, but like a gas, something will move into its place and fill the void.
Just taking a lighter view of the world, thats all.
