I am a tech. service rep. for a construction equip mfg. co. I get phone calls concerning everything from parts to operation, maintenance, relevant tools,etc. I also take orders, do expediting, handle the abrasives line and the natural stone products line.
I also do maintenance. Basically anything at home or with family, friends.
For example: Mom and Dad's dishwasher quit. Dad bought a new one and while they were at the hospital, I went over and installed it. (my Mom had surgery, had to have a plate pinned in her upper arm, broken in three pieces)
Another example: the clothes dryer at home was starting to squeak. Pulled it apart saturday and rebuilt it.
Not a bad shade tree mecahnic, either. Pretty good at figuring things out.
Surfing here helps with that last item. Worked on a lot of different vehicles, but this is the first Mercedes, so this place has really been a boon.

Some interesting lives, here. Keep 'em coming.

Video on the interweb is my thing. I design online video solutions for sports, media and broadcasting companies.

We used to be a small Irish internet company of 6, then we were about 120, then we were back to about 20... Then we got got bought by a US internet backbone company of about 3,000! I prefer small.

I also dig soccer, golf, Xbox, old cars, photography (except under cars) and fatherhood.
Though mostly it's the last one these days.

She'll appreciate it someday!

I'm thinking "good lord, isn't that child a little young to be stunt driving (backwards) an SL"????
Then I remembered you blokes drive on the wrong side of the car/street.....:thumbsup:

I restore cars for a living. Musclecars and corvettes mostly.
Not a very glamorous job behind the scenes, but rewarding if you like bringing vintage cars back to new. I guess my job is also my hobby.

It becomes glamorous when the car is completed.

This is what we do.
2nd Generation Automotive Restorations

My love for the 107 benz goes back a long way, but I just recently indulged in one, and it was well worth the wait.

Driving my 380sl around is a joy.:thumbsup:

ALLLRIGHTYTHEN!!:thumbsup:

That's a big boost/pat in the back for ALL SL owners - A car restoration expert - what's his personal car preference?? A 380 SL !!:eclipsee_steering::bowdown:

I bought mine from the owner of a landscape company, but he inherited it from his father in law (through the wife) and IDK what the FIL did, but I imagine at a MSRP of $38K in 1981 it had to be something that paid a good amount of $
