Just got back from the diesel gathering in OK

Back back yesterday from Kaleb Striplin's diesel MBZ list gathering. My 300TD made the 2,200 mile round trip with no problems even with sustained speeds around 75 mph. Looks like fuel prices has not slowed anyone down on the highway! It was great event which included a trip to a guy who makes his own biodiesel. I averaged about 24 mpg with the AC on. Interestingly the most popular car there by far were W126's. In fact I think my trip would have been more enjoyable in one of those luxury barges...

Well, while you were cruising out west, I took the ultimate luxury barge down to southeast PA for our GTG.

You missed a good one.
