Thank you

Many thanks Charles, so eloquently put.
 
This may qualify for the most Thanked and Liked thread ever. Which goes a long way to illustrate the love and respect other forum members have for our very own Charles. No-one on here I can think of treats others with such great respect and quiet kindness. Good on you Charles and thanks for creating such a nice thread.

And while we're on the subject: a gracious thumbs-up has already been made for Grober and his unstinting and detailed help but it wouldn't hurt to suggest that he be given a special mention in dispatches. No-one spends more of his time in searching out answers and links to problems posted. Well done Graeme :thumb: Thank-you.

Thanks Derek, that's a lovely thing to say (getting all luvvie here) but the important thing is this quote above. Graeme is phenomenal (he also sent me a really kind PM just today). Where he gets it all from and how he files it all away is one of those great mysteries (like how D Jetronic works!).
 
Lovely thread with nice sentiments, thanks to everyone who helps and run this forum.

Quick, using your superpowers as Mod you could go back and change your post, and no-one will ever know.

At the same time, give that Millar fellow another week in the slammer would you, just for me? :)
 
Thank you for these kind words. :o The facts probably arise from the fact I have been around longer than most and accumulated lots of baggage along the way. :dk: I count myself lucky to have lived through a period where motoring became economically accessible to the ordinary bloke, fuel was cheaper , where the roads were more open and free from restriction , where you could indeed usefully DIY maintain your own car. :thumb: Lucky also to have survived several brushes with death by car accident [ not my fault] :eek: and in my youth fortunate not have written off several cars and myself through behaviour which was very much down to me.:crazy:
I fear our best days of motoring freedom may be over now but meanwhile I just try to pass on some of the lessons on Mercedes ownership, cars and life in general I have found useful. ;)
 
Please excuse my late reply to this thread. I was convinced I had posted in it, but clearly I haven't. :o


Charles, please accept my condolences on the passing of your mother.

Also, thanks for writing this great thread.


All the best

Paul.
 
Sorry to hear of your mum's passing Charles and offer my condolences.
 
Very nice thread for a change! The forum has had a little bad blood in recent times, overall it is rare & it is always nice to read something as positive as this :)

Sorry to hear about your loss Charles and its nice to hear your kind words about the forum,

2016 was also a terrible year for myself as I lost a family member, had my Mother rushed to hostpital and had another member of my family diagnosed with terminal Cancer.

Anyway, hopefully 2017 will be a good one, this forum has a great bunch of people who are not only knowledgeable, also very helpful aswell!

Sorry to hear about all the family members Karl, and I do hope your Mother is now OK. I had assumed mine would go on for many more years as she was very active, mentally and physically, but the cancer she had was so far gone that she must have had it for months before. She didn't like Doctors much, which I suspect was part of the problem.

As you and Druk have to spend your time dealing with the more annoying bits of life here, it is nevertheless a testament to you both that so much of what goes on is mundane yet altogether so positive.
 
Thank you for this positive thread Charles, most welcome indeed. I too am very sorry for your loss and know how you feel as I lost my father in late november to cancer. A horrible time to lose people close to us and friends and family have been so kind and supportive.

I wish everyone here a very happy and healthy 2017 and I pray it's a better year than 2016!
 
Sorry to hear that Barry, it is at times like this that friends and family rallying round make such a big difference. My neighbours have been wonderful, when my father was up for Christmas, he was invited in for tea, scones and cake, and viewing model railways, and on another day my neighbour Tony took him for a long run in his Morgan +4.
 
Condolences Barry.

Coming up to 2 years for me in 10 days time since losing my mum.

I'd say the pain and sadness has now reached a level where it will stay forever probably, but I can raise a smile and laugh at the happy times now when something related crops up - and even raise a glass when we go out for a meal.

Thanks for the this thread Charles..

So sorry about your mother. I lost my dad a couple years back. Its a terrible time to have to go through.
I wont say time heals, as I dont believe it does, but time does allow you to accept reality and move forward.
Good luck and you have many friends here should you need us.
 
Thanks Jay, much appreciated. I look forward to seeing your fleet of Benzes again at some point!
 
Having just spent 20 minutes hunting round part suppliers for a new member who asked about some rare W114 parts and found some of what he was after, did I get a thank you? Guess.

I have resolved not to bother with people who lack basic levels of politeness!

Sadly a sign of the times but don't let them deter you. There are more of the good guys out there.

It's regular enough occurrence. I've done similar and nine times out of ten with new members they take the info and just disappear without a bye your leave. The way I see it at the end of the day it's their loss (as I won't be assisting the next time) but as Mike W. just said I wouldn't be deterred.
