We had a great tour of this MB Recyling Yard. And plenty of members were looking for parts to recyle onto their own MB's.

It was quite a sight to see all those new and old MB's - a bunch of brand New C classes that were on a transport that toppled over - talk about sad - they still had all the factory protective covering and stickers on them. The new E class that was flooded during Isabel and that black G-55 that experienced a hot time...

It did not take much time for folks to find just what they needed for their own benz's - and finding the stuff and thinking about what you needed was as much fun as the tour.

Thanks go out to Pat and everyone at PGAuto for all their help - and for the coffee and doughnuts too! We had great weather a super tour and lots of fun.
