The Legal Warranty is reserved for consumers. It therefore applies solely to users who have made the purchase on the Store for purposes other thanentrepreneurial, commercial, craft or professional activities.
The seller (and, therefore, with regard to purchases made on the Store, ITALIANTOUCH) is liable vis-à-vis to the consumer for any lack of conformityexistent at the time of delivery of the product and which shows up within two years of the said delivery. The seller must be informed of the lack ofconformity, under penalty of expiration of the guarantee, within two months from the date in which it was discovered.
Unless proven otherwise, it shall be presumed that the lack of conformity that manifest themselves within six months from the delivery of the productalready existed at that date, unless this hypothesis is incompatible with the nature of the product or with the nature of the lack of conformity. Startingfrom the seventh month following the delivery of the product, the burden of proof to demonstrate that the lack of conformity already existed at the momentof delivery of the product shall lie with the consumer.
In order to take advantage of the Legal Guarantee, the user must therefore provide proof of the date of the purchase and delivery of the good. It istherefore advisable, to prove the purchase, for the user to keep the invoice sent by ITALIANTOUCH, as well as the transport document or any other documentthat certifies the date of the purchase (such as the credit card statement or the bank statement) and the delivery date.
A lack of conformity exists when the purchased good:
i. is not suitable for performing the function for which goods of the same type are normally used;
ii. does not conform to the description provided by the seller and does not possess the features that the seller presented to the consumer as a sample ormodel;
iii. does not display the features and performance that are normal for a good of this type, which the consumer could reasonably expect, considering thedeclarations made in the advertising or on the labelling;
iv. is unsuitable for the specific use desired by the consumer who informed the seller at the time of the completion of the contract, culminating in theseller's acceptance of the situation.
The Legal Warranty does not cover faults or malfunctioning caused by accidental incidents or due to the user's responsibility or by use of the product thatdoes not comply with its intended use and/or the information contained in the technical documentation accompanying the product.
In case of a lack of conformity reported within the prescribed period, the user is entitled:
i. firstly, to the repair or free replacement of the good, according to preference, unless the requested solution is objectively impossible or excessivelyexpensive with respect to the other one;
ii. secondly (in cases where repair or replacement are impossible or excessively expensive or where repair or replacement have not been made within areasonable period of time or where the repair or replacement have caused significant inconvenience to the consumer) to the reduction in the price or to thetermination of the contract, according to the preference of the user.
The requested solution is excessively expensive if entails user unreasonable expenses for the seller compared to alternative solutions, considering (i) thevalue that the good would have if there was no lack of conformity; (ii) the entity of the lack of conformity; (iii) the possibility that the alternativesolution can be achieved without significant inconvenience for the consumer.
If a product purchased on the Store, during the period of validity of the Legal Warranty, should display what could be a lack of conformity, the user cancontact the Customer Service as indicated in Article 16. The Customer Service department will reply promptly to the communication, informing the user ofthe next steps that he/she should take.

Christmas Gifts
Today I finished up shopping for our local animal shelter as we decided this year we will donate to them. Well as we were packing up the gift bags both Pheona & Murphy were shoving their heads into the bags to see what was in them. I wish I would of jumped up to grab the camera. It was quite the site. Then we drove over to the shelter to drop the stuff all off. One of the dogs they had out in the front room started to go nuts sniffing the bag. Someone in there looking at dogs said, I bet he knows what is in the bag. I think he could just smell Pheona & Murphy. Well as we told the lady who runs the place Merry Christmas & started putting bags on the table she questioned if we had kittens in the bags. I just looked at her in disbelief but I'm going to guess that since she said that they've had people do that. (What has our world come to??) We assured her no kittens or animals for that matter, just goodies for the cats, dogs & the workers. We wished them all a Merry Christmas & went on our way.

That's a great idea! If I didn't wait so long to do Christmas shopping this year I'd have more money right now so I could do this too. Next year!
Sad about the kittens in the bags thing. I agree, this world has gone downhill in a hurry and it just keeps sliding.

The United States of America, acting through its attorneys, charges: I DESCRIPTION OF THE OFFENSE 1. JOHN H. BROWNING is made a defendant on the charge stated below. 2. Beginning in or about June 1996 and continuing until in or about September 1997, the defendant and co-conspirators participated in a combination and conspiracy in unreasonable restraint of interstate trade and commerce in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act (15 U.S.C. § 1). 3. The charged combination and conspiracy consisted of a continuing agreement, understanding, and concert of action among the conspirators, the substantial terms of which were to rig bids and allocate contracts for the sale of materials and supplies used in construction of cable-stayed bridges in the United States. 4. For the purpose of forming and carrying out the charged combination and conspiracy, the defendant and co-conspirators did those things that they combined and conspired to do, including, among other things:
DEFENDANTS AND CO-CONSPIRATORS 5. BROWNING is a citizen of the United States, residing in Massachusetts. During the period covered by this Information, Browning was the President and CEO of Dywidag-Systems International USA, Inc. ("DSI"). 6. DSI is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, with its principle place of business in Bolingbrook, Illinois. During the period covered by this Information, DSI was engaged in the business of producing and selling construction materials and services in the post-tensioning and cable-stayed bridge industries, including materials and supplies used in the construction of cable-stayed bridges. 7. Various corporations and individuals, not made defendants in this Information, participated as co-conspirators in the offense charged herein and performed acts and made statements in furtherance of it. 8. Whenever in this Information reference is made to any act, deed, or transaction of any corporation, the allegation means that the corporation engaged in the act, deed, or transaction by or through its officers, directors, employees, agents, or other representatives while they were actively engaged in the management, direction, control, or transaction of its business or affairs.

Hard workin' dog
October 4, 2010 at 8:31 am 3 comments
"It takes all kinds of dogs to make a world."
For your Monday morning pleasure – a bit of vintage Sesame Street goodness.
"All I know how to do is take a hundred cows and teach 'em some manners."
I love that the dog never says what breed he is. He's probably a border collie but he could be a long-tailed Australian shepherd or an English shepherd – or a purpose bred mutt. He does, however, make a point of saying that he's sure he's not a show dog.

They just don't make Sesame Street like they used to!
Based on working style, coloring, and size, I think he is an ES or ES "type."
Man, that is a blast from the past. The fact that the dog doesn't identify by breed had to be 100% intentional – the SESAME STREET ideal at the time was very much against putting labels on people… or animals… or monsters. A quaint idea, in retrospect, but maybe not such a bad one.

Following the introduction of the Vortex high-efficiency area-clearance strategy in PowerMILL 2014 last September, Delcam's new roughing strategy has now been added to the FeatureCAM, PartMaker and Delcam for SolidWorks CAM systems.

Have you ever had the experience where an album seeps into your bones?
Here's how it usually works: You pick it up and right away you think, "this is good." Then you listen to it some more and you think, "Hey, this is even better than I thought." Then maybe you listen to it some more and you think, "Okay, yeah, it's good, but I'm a little tired of it now." You set it aside. But within a day or two, you want to hear something from it again. You put it back on, and you say, "Holy crap. This is even better still."
If you don't like blisteringly hot and complex percussion work, swirling keyboards, intricate guitar work that moves between carefully restrained and rivetingly intense, all punctuated with astonishingly soulful singing, this isn't for you. Ditto if you aren't interested in subtle, multilayered arrangements of top-notch songs. A rich, textured, steaming jazz/blues/folk/soul/jam gumbo isn't for everybody I suppose. But let me tell ya: you don't know what you're missing.
If, on the other hand, that sounds even a little appealing to you, Hittin' The Note is probably going to be your album of the year. It's already mine. Such a rich, textured, multilayered blues-based, hard-rocking jazz album doesn't come along every day. It really doesn't.
Oh, and by the way: although some will be tempted to call this album "southern rock," anyone who does so should be shot. This is a fabulous jazz and blues rock album. One of the best in years. Go buy it. It's really good.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus arrived in September, but now that we're well into 2015 it's no surprise that chatter about what's next for Apple's smartphone is getting louder and clearer. Here's everything we know about the iPhone 7 release date, specs, new features and design rumours and bring you the latest iPhone 7 speculation to help you stay up-to-date with the latest iPhone 7 news, rumours and leaks. When is the iPhone 7 coming out? Updated 29/5/15.
Some of you might be thinking, isn't it going to be called the iPhone 6S next? After all, Apple has released an iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5S and now iPhone 6 (alongside the iPhone 6 Plus). So if history repeats itself, it's likely that the next iPhone will be called the iPhone 6S rather than the iPhone 7. See also: iPhone 5S vs iPhone 6 comparison
However, Apple has surprised us somewhat over the past two years, releasing an iPhone 5C alongside the iPhone 5S in 2013, and an iPhone 6 Plus alongside the iPhone 6 in 2014. We're wondering whether Apple might soon decide to ditch the numbers completely and stick with iPhone, iPhone Plus and iPhone C, perhaps. Or, simply ditch the 'S' models and launch an iPhone 7.
In fact, reports that emerged in mid April suggest that the next iPhone is going to be so significantly different to and better than the iPhone 6 that Apple has decided the iPhone 6S name doesn't fit, and instead will launch an iPhone 7 this autumn.
No one knows for sure yet though, so you'll see both terms used within this article, although primarily iPhone 7 to keep things simple.
Those aforementioned reports come from well-respected and previously accurate analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from KGI Securities, who says that the biggest difference between Apple's iPhone 6 and the next iPhone is that it'll have a Force Touch display. Apple currently uses Force Touch in the Apple Watch and its new MacBook, but Kuo thinks it'll use different technology that, instead of actually measuring the pressure that you put on the screen to determine whether you're tapping or pressing, will detect the contact area of your finger to make the distinction.
After some reports that suggested Force Touch would only come to the display of the larger iPhone this year, new claims from Economic Daily News say that both will get the technology after all. That's according to a supply chain source, who says that Apple had originally planned to limit Force Touch to the 5.5in iPhone before settling on the final decision to implement it in both.
These reports have led to the creation of an iPhone concept showing what Force Touch could look like.
Looking back over the recent history of Apple's iPhone launches, it's likely that the iPhone 7 will be unveiled at a special event in September 2015. It will be a little while until invites are sent out, though.
Our current prediction is 8 September. Why? Well, it's a complete guess, but it's an informed one. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus were unveiled on 9 September, iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S were unveiled on 10 September, and iPhone 5 was on 12 September. Apple goes for Tuesday or Wednesday launches (more often Tuesdays) so Tuesday 8 September 2015 is our iPhone 7 prediction.
However, the most recent rumours to hit the web suggest that the iPhone 7 could actually arrive in August, a few weeks earlier than expected. The Economic Daily News has cited supply-chain sources who allegedly say that the iPhone 7 is in production already, and will launch a month earlier than we first thought.
We're taking this rumour with a pinch of salt for now, unless any further evidence emerges. And of course, if it does we'll update you right here.
The unveiling of iOS 9 and the launch of the developer preview on 8 June at WWDC 2015 could offer some further clues to the features we can expect in the next iPhone model. Find out more about what to expect from iOS 9 here.
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus represent a big design change from their predecessor, the iPhone 5S, so it's likely that Apple won't make such significant design changes to the next generation of iPhone. Traditionally, with Apple's 'S' models, the design is almost identical to the previous iPhone's design.
So, we can expect the iPhone 7 to have a 4.7in screen (and the iPhone 7 Plus should Apple decide to launch one to have a 5.5in display), a rounded, aluminium chassis and a very slim profile. It's also likely that it'll be available in Silver, Gold and Slate Grey.
Apple could make the iPhone 7 lighter, though, thanks to the use of the stronger sapphire glass and more durable liquidmetal materials, both of which Apple is believed to be working with. Stronger materials mean Apple could use less metal and glass in the device, making lighter overall.
One design rumour we've been hearing recently is that Apple may decide to introduce a fourth colour option, this one with a rose gold finish like the Apple Watch Edition. Those rumours came from The Wall Street Journal, and designer Martin Hajek quickly came up with realistic concept images to show what a rose gold iPhone 7 might look like.
You'll find more on his website.
Not everyone is convinced that Apple won't change the design of the iPhone 7, though. According to MacX.cn, Apple's next iPhone will have a 5in, OLED display with a 400ppi resolution.
In March, a new patent revealed that Apple is investigating ways to make future iPhones waterproof without needing to compromise on the design. Instead of adding armour to the outside of the iPhone to protect it from water, the method would coat electronic components found inside the iPhone in a protective waterproof material that would prevent them from getting damaged should water find its way in. Clever.
The iPhone 7 will have a faster processor, probably names the A9, joined by an M9 co-processor. It could boast camera improvements (although analysts say it won't), as well as better battery life and new features such as wireless charging.
Interestingly, it's rumoured that Apple will finally up the iPhones RAM complement, with 2GB LPDDR4 memory.
It's believed that Samsung is the main supplier of Apple's A9 processor, and that they're being manufactured using a new 14-nanometer process, helping make them smaller, more efficient and more powerful.
However, there are some rumours to suggest that the iPhone 7 could have some new design features, though we'd take these rumours with a pinch of salt.
The speculation about a new design stems from an Apple patent that was published in 2015. It describes what Apple calls "sidewall displays," similar to the display found on the Galaxy Note Edge.
Concept by Michael Shanks
The patent hints at a future iPhone with a display that extends onto the sides of the device, providing interactive or touch sensitive portions that give access to slide-to-unlock functionality, music player controls, messaging readout, called ID, system controls and more.
Perhaps Apple will decide to introduce the sidewall display to the iPhone 6 Plus's successor, offering even more screen estate.
While the sidewall display and Touch ID display are both great ideas, what we really want to see is a higher resolution display. The iPhone 6 Plus's display is 401ppi, but that's still not as impressive as many of its rivals, including the Galaxy Note 4 and the LG G3.
One of the biggest things which could happen to the screen is a Force Touch display which is found in the new MacBook's trackpack and the Apple Watch. It would mean the iPhone 7 could distinguish between a tap and a press (not a long press) opening up a world of possibilities.
Another rumour that was sparked by an Apple patent is that the iPhone 7's Touch ID fingerprint sensor, which is usually situated beneath the Home button, could be built-in to the entire display, eliminating the need for a Home button and making room for a larger display without enlarging the overall size of the smartphone.
One of the biggest areas of improvement for the iPhone 7 could be the camera. Rumours that emerged in November 2014 suggested that the camera will represent the biggest camera jump in the history of the iPhone, with a two-lens system that could capture "DSLR-quality imagery," according to Daring Fireball's John Gruber.
Rumour has it the iPhone 7 camera could be up to 21-megapixels but more likely is a jump to 12Mp, according to Kevin Wang, IHS Technology Research Director in China. But the catch is that the pixels will be smaller which may mean a drop in low light performance.
More recently, those rumours have been cemented by sources in the hardware supply chain. A dual-lens camera would allow the iPhone 7 to include optical zoom capabilities and improve low-light photography.
In May, further rumours about the iPhone 7's camera emerged, claiming that the new camera will be 12Mp and will indeed represent the biggest camera boost in iPhone history.
Another rumour circulating the web is that the iPhone 7 will come with a new iPhone charger, with a Lightning connector on one end and a new reversible USB connector on the other end.
In August 2014, a video of a reversible USB charger emerged on YouTube, which you can watch below.
As yet, there are no leaked images of the iPhone 7, but we expect that they'll begin appearing soon. For now, though, there are concept images from some of the most popular mock-up designers floating around the web.
Martin Hajek has created some stunning iPhone 7 concept images, as shown below.
Designer Steel Drake has shared images on Behance of what he thinks the iPhone 7, or maybe iPhone 8 will look like.
We'll continue to update this article as more reports emerge, so check back regularly for the latest information.

This is something we needed to get but like most else it is not going to happen.
A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that the Federal Communications Commission lacks the authority to require broadband providers to give equal treatment to all Internet traffic flowing over their networks.
This is the last straw folks the last nail in the coffin. Soon the corporations will control everything on the "Net". The last bastion where the truth and the whole truth could be written and reported on will soon be gone.
The battle is lost against this dark side of our country assisted by media corporations that profiteer from lies and war for the same. If this ruling ever makes it to the Supremes anyone who thinks they will rule in favor of "We the People" is downright fucking nuts.
Everything for and by the corporations!
This is a sad and dark day here in what used to be my country.

You're on the ball, sweetheart.
I've been reporting on this developing tragedy (owing a debt to Cheney/Bush's now-forgotten Total Information Network) for a long time, and it's gathering speed as it comes down the track to smash our rights (whatever we may thought them to be) to connectivity.
The Supremes? We can only hope that Stevens gets replaced by someone "center right" now (or so I'm told).
Gotta look for another country.

2013 Canadian Grand Prix – Practice Sessions
The teams had their first taste of the new type of Pirelli tyre today, with two sets of an experimental medium tyre using a new Aramide rear construction allocated to each driver for Friday's two free practice sessions. As usual, they also had this weekend's two nominated compounds at their disposal: P Zero White medium and P Zero Red supersoft, in original 2013 specification.
Rain in the first free practice session during the morning meant that teams only got around 20 minutes of dry running at the very end of the hour and a half. Up to then, the Cinturato Green intermediates and to a lesser extent the Cinturato Blue wets had been used, with Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne the first to sample the new slicks. Force India's Paul di Resta put in a quick lap on the medium tyres to set the fastest time before a yellow flag effectively ended the session.
The afternoon remained cool but was much drier, with the cars lapping five seconds faster than they had been in the morning. Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso set the fastest time of the weekend so far on the supersoft tyre: 1m14.818s – half a second faster than the equivalent time last year. Friday's most consistent driver was Lotus's Romain Grosjean, who was third-quickest in both sessions.
Pirelli's motorsport director Paul Hembery said: "The rain in the morning meant that the drivers didn't really get to assess the new construction of the rear as thoroughly as they would have liked to, but initial feedback has been positive. We'll be analyzing a lot more data about this new construction over the next few days before drawing a final conclusion, but we don't expect this to be a massive change. It's only a minor alteration to ensure that none of the previous delaminations – which do not impact on safety – recur, and it doesn't affect the fundamental characteristics, performance or durability of the tyre. Canada is always one of the most challenging circuits for the tyres, because of the layout of the track and also the heavy braking, which puts plenty of heat into them. Conditions today could well be representative of what we have in the race, with around 17 degrees ambient and track temperature, and we've seen good durability and performance from both compounds so far – with little graining despite the cool temperatures. It's hard to make a prediction about the number of pit stops at this point because the track is still very green and there are so many variables here, but we've seen some long runs from the supersoft in practice with no significant drop-off in performance, so this certainly looks set to be the tyre to qualify on tomorrow."
Fastest tyre of the day:
1.Di Resta | 1m21.020s | Medium New | 1.Alonso | 1m14.818s | Supersoft New |
2.Button | 1m21.108s | Medium New | 2.Hamilton | 1m14.830s | Supersoft New |
3.Grosjean | 1m21.258s | Medium New | 3.Grosjean | 1m15.083s | Supersoft New |
Tyre statistics of the day:
Medium | Supersoft | Intermediate | Wet | |
kms driven * | 2,210 | 1,426 | 985 | 152 |
sets used overall ** | 48 | 28 | 22 | 21 |
highest number of laps ** | 29 | 22 | 20 | 8 |
* The above number gives the total amount of kilometres driven in FP1 and FP2 today, all drivers combined.
** Per compound, all drivers combined.
May the Force be with you:
Max. g-force braking (longitudinal force): | -4.27 @ T10 | ||
Max. g-force cornering (lateral force): | 4.12 @ T3 |
Pirelli fact of the day:
Montreal has the lowest pit stop time loss of the year, with the cars losing just 16 seconds from the beginning to the end of the pit lane. This encourages many of the drivers to opt for a 'sprint' strategy with a high number of pit stops, particularly if the car is fast anyway. The high probability of a safety car means that a flexible strategy can often win the race, making the task of formulating the strategy even more complex for the engineers.

Starbase Studios Oklahoma City Starbase Studios is an independent film studio for Star Trek TOS fan made productions. The studio does not produce films of it's own but offers use of it's sets to anyone who wishes to produce their own fan film but could not afford the cost of building their own. There is no charge for use of the studio but donations will be accepted to help cover the operating expenses. Website - Forum - Facebook Starbase Studios started as part of Project Ajax but is now a separate entity allowing us to continue building sets and hosting fan production while Ajax prepares for filming. A large part of the bridge set was donated by Starship Exeter, to whom we are greatly indebted. We would have never been able to build this bridge without having their examples to go by. Since opening in September of 2013 we have had three productions film, three more set to film early in 2014 and interest from many others. Now in production, "Yorktown: A Time To Heal" "Starship Valiant: Legacy" "Hanlet: Episode 4 & 1/2: Attack of the Phantom Special" In pre-production, "Starship Valiant: Desperation" "Starship Ajax" "Kobayashi Maru" On set with Yorktown: A Time To Heal
Very cool! And a wonderful thing you guys are doing, making the studio available to others. It is this kind of inclusiveness and spirit of friendship that Trek is all about.
Their website mentions they only have the 360 degree bridge set, but will build a transporter room in 2014...
Thank you for all the kind comments. We currently only have the bridge set but funds and space have been donated for building the transporter room set. Work on that will begin in January and other sets will follow as time and funds allow. We could use everyone's help in spreading the word. The more people we can get to film their own productions the more Star Trek for the rest of us to watch. On set with Starship Ajax. (before the set was complete)
The studio must always remain free of charge and there are two very important reasons for it. 1: CBS says so. 2: When the studio does close, greed will be the cause of it. 1: CBS owns ALL the intellectual property rights to everything we do here. Some people try to argue that it's our set and they have nothing to do with it but in reality, it's our wood and our paint but it is THEIR bridge. It isn't our right to make Star Trek fan films, CBS allows us to do it. They have provided a simple, easy to follow list of guidelines, via Phase 2, that are written to keep both sides happy. Those guidlines clearly state we are not allowed to make money from their franchise. Simple minded people with dollar signs in their eyes are always coming up with the equivalent of get rich schemes that they don't think CBS could shut down because "technically" it's not breaking the rules. It's seems to be beyond these peoples comprehension that we don't have to be breaking rules in order for CBS to shut us down, all we have to do is get them unhappy with us. Not following the simple and fair guidelines from CBS would be the stupidest thing we could do. 2: I can't tell you how many people, with minimal involvement in the project, want to get their hands in the little bit of money we do have coming in. Even people involved don't want to spend the money on the things we raised it to do. It comes down to greed, if we don't keep a very good system of bookkeeping and spending we will lose everything. Because of these same greed motivated people, if we ever did find a way to charge for the facility, it would die instantly. With everyone who thinks they have a reason to have their hand in the pot, the charge to use the facility would be so enormous no one would ever be able to film here. If we even suggested the donation amount that some have been insisting we "ask for", we would be completely unaffordable. One side note about greedy people. The next person that comes up to me and says "Why don't YOU build another captain's chair so WE can make some money." is losing some teeth. If there were a third reason to keep if free it is because of the people who come to visit or film. Over the last two months I have been told by countless people that we have fulfilled one of their childhood dreams. That always brings on one of those warm, fuzzy feelings that money can't buy. In short, charging for use of the studio would completely countermand the purpose for building it and would instantly bring it to an end.
I really hope this will work out, because it would be great to have an opportunity for several productions to pool their resources.
What is particularly cool about this, is it has proven to be a catalyst to others who own sets to make them more available, and that in turn is generating plans for more fan films.
I guess the biggest worry, aside from the "greedy people" mentioned above might be "booking". It might prove awkward if two or more "productions" having "tight schedules" of their own for whatever reason need the set on the same set of days. Or, it might prove beneficial as the two or more teams could "pool" their resources, having "extras" filling the background and more production personnel to help stage the shots. Sincerely, Bill
We do have a calendar on the forum which shows what days are booked. Also, the first topic in the forum is for researching and reserving dates. Check it out.

Fincastle County
. It was named for
George Washington
, who was then
of the
Continental Army
. As with many other frontier counties, the boundaries and territory changed over the years. In 1786 the northwestern part of Washington County became
Russell County
. In 1814 the western part of what remained of Washington County was
combined with parts of
counties to form
Scott County
. In 1832 the northeastern part of Washington was combined
with part of
Wythe County
to form
Smyth County

So, how about those 1983-1993 Mercedes-Benz W201 190s? Yawn.
Alas, compared to Munich's 3 Series, the 190 "Baby Benz" – even the legendary "Cosworth" 190E – is practically invisible. But while prices for E30 BMWs continue to climb, the 190 remains a bargain for those who can appreciate the engineering resources that Mercedes-Benz poured into these cars. At the time, the compact 190 was the most expensive project Stuttgart had ever developed – its $2 billion Deutschmark price tag driven up by the construction of a new plant in Bremen as well as an expansion of the existing Sindelfingen plant.
Despite its boxy-European-car-of-the-1980s looks, the 190 was surprisingly aerodynamic with a drag coefficient of 0.33.
The goal was to build a featherweight compact sedan that was economical to drive, but rode, drove, and was every bit as safe as a top-of-the-line S-Class. The finished car tipped the scales at less than 2,500 pounds, had a drag coefficient of 0.33, yet offered the interior comfort of larger Mercedes-Benz sedans. Its ride was buttery smooth and its handling sophisticated, thanks to a new multi-link independent rear suspension.
Mercedes-Benz considered many different suspension designs before settling on the multi-link setup that inspired designs the company uses in its cars today.
After attending a press introduction for the 190 in Spain, occasional Hemmings Muscle Machines contributor Joe Oldham wrote in the April 1983 Popular Mechanics: "You can do really stupid things in [the 190] and not hurt yourself. The car's handling is so good that you don't have to be a good driver to look like one."
While you likely won't hear too much about it, the 30th anniversary of the 190's introduction is next month. The official launch was on December 8, 1982, and by the time production of the Baby Benz ceased in 1993, M-B had built 1.8 million examples.
Diesel-powered 190s made use of extra sound-deadening panels and insulation to keep engine clatter from reaching the driver's and passengers' ears.
Initially, only the (carbureted) 190 and (fuel-injected) 190 E models were available with 2-liter four-cylinder engines, but in the fall of 1983, Mercedes-Benz presented the 72hp 190 D "whisper diesel" at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt.
The 16-valve engines were installed to homologate the 190 for Group B rally racing and the German Touring Car Masters series. Cosworth provided the twin-cam 16-valve head.
Also making its debut in 1983 was the high-performance 190 E 2.3-16 model, with a Cosworth-developed 16-valve twin-cam cylinder head that helped the four-cylinder make 185hp. In 1988, M-B upped the ante with a 2.5-liter 16-valve "Cosworth" engine, that made around 200hp. The 190 E 2.3-16 and 2.5-16 sedans were also equipped with Getrag five-speed transmissions, a limited-slip differential, a functional body kit that made the car slightly more aerodynamic and Recaro bucket seats.
The greatest 190 performers were the winged Evolution cars. Mercedes-Benz built 502 190 E 2.5-16 Evo Is and 502 190 E 2.5-16 Evo IIs – enough to qualify them for competition in the German Touring Car Masters series (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters). The Evo I's 2.5-liter engine used a short-stroke design to allow it to rev and could be optioned with an AMG PowerPack kit that added another 30 horses. The EVO II made the AMG tuneup standard and sported a radical body kit with wheel flares and a huge wing.
Other 190 notables include the 190 D 2.2 and 190 E 2.3 models, specifically built for export to North America. The 190 was also built with a 90hp five-cylinder diesel engine, the 190 D 2.5, and with a six-cylinder, the 190 E 2.6.
Today, nice Mercedes-Benz 190 Es trade for between $5,000-$8,000 while the Cosworth 16-valve 190s can be found for less than $15,000. In either case, if you're considering making the plunge, it's best to spend the money for a car that's been properly maintained and stored indoors. Parts availability for Mercedes-Benzes is excellent, and these cars aren't difficult to work on, but you can quickly run up a big tab at the local M-B dealer's parts department trying to repair a clapped-out car.
These are great cars but if the heater core fails you soon find out Mercedes built the car around it!
Great article; there's a lot of info there that I didn't know. I had a late-80's 300e and it was one of the best cars I've ever had. I never wanted a 190, mainly because I liked the headlight wipers on the 300. Crazy I know, but.. Now, I want a 5-speed manual version of the 190. Funny how tastes change over the decades.
Hey Scotty,
I am a mercedes fan. I have a 5-speed 190 E for sale. Bought it used in 1999 and it runs well – needs body work and paint. Doing 350K. My son has been using it for 4 years and he bought a used C230 coupe so the 190 is now available if you are still interested
The headlight wipers were available on the 190e as well, at least in the later years after the headlights were updated. I recently bought a '92 190e 2.6 Sportline. It has all the bells and whistles from the factory. Headlamp wipers, heated seats, etc. Needs some work, but drives amazingly even with the squeaky shocks/struts that need to be replaced.
Terry is right. I had a friend who owned one, drove it regularly and had no issues until the heater core failed and he's right, that's the piece the car was built around. The labor charge was breathtaking.
I was a MB dealer then and the fanfare and hype was successful in selling a lot of cars BUT the car was filled with quality problems and was not reliable enough to be a long term high point for MB. The 2.5L 16valve was the height point of the 190 cars although because the suspension was so good the car could have used another 50-75
HP. But all in most of us dealers thought the 190 in the end hurt MB more then it gained us as not enough money went into the other models which suffered as a consequence! THC
Really? The dealer nearest me spoke how how it opened the floodgates for "normal people" to own Mercedes, and how many he still sees coming for routine service!
Everyone has his opinion on the 190 but most dealers I know say the car hurt us dealers in the short run. Too many problems and too many buy back cars to good for anybody! Question is was the dealer there THEN. I was and was on the dealer council and know the insdie score and was not good. the 16 value was a great car only needing another 75hp to be superb. The money for the 190 could have been better spent on upgrading the 300E which came just later and was not well received due to sadly undeveloped styling and a sort of cheap low budget look which was a result of too little money spent on development! Later after complaints by the dealer council the gar was upgraded and the rear end syling reworked and the car was much better received. The facts! TC
I don't think Fords are that easy. I had to drop the dash to replace a heater-core on an '82 Mustang. No doubt you have to drop the dash on the 190 series M-B? The Olds A-bodies looked easy to replace a heater-core, but then, instead of adopting the Buick method of mounting the distributor, the Olds had a distributor at the back of the engine, where you get to hyper-extend your spine when doing a tune-up.
We bought a 190E new in 1984. It turned out to be the worst car we ever owned. It required dealer service at least once a month and broke down more than all of our other cars combined. It was a total piece of junk. I lost respect for Mercedes after owning this car.
Your car must have been built on Friday at about 3:45.
My 1989 190E 2.6 was fabulous to about 100,000 miles and 17 years when the AC shot craps and could never be properly repaired by the dealer. Guess I can't really complain and sometimes I still miss its comfort and roominess vs my more recent C-class replacements which have smaller doors and less seat travel.
The 190 came out a few years before the W124 300E which was the best car MB ever built. As a result, the 190 is overshadowed and mostly unloved.
One of the last real Benzes. After that, they just got to be pretty, stylish, currently fashionable cars that could have been built anywhere on the planet (well, actually, they've evolved to look kinda Korean, if you ask me).
But this little bugger: built like a tank. No pretense at being pretty. Totally practical, all its luxury was in the superior engineering.
Those were the days. Alas.
I almost bought one of these back in '95, before I sobered up. What a POS, total black eye for M-B
Still have my 87 2.3-16v never have any problems with the car it runs strong. planning on keeping it for a while
Had a new 1987 190E-2.3 with 5 speed manual transmisssion. Excellent car, no problems, finally sold it with 158,000 miles on it. It looked as good and drove as good as new.
One of the greatest designs to come out of Stuttgart. Period.
It's true that it's sometimes overshadowed by the W124, but not among designers or the designer of the car (Bruno Saaco) himself. It was 'the' car that established the new Mercedes look that has carried forward since. Hence the W2″" internal classification.
When it came out there was nothing quite like it on the road. It just looked so modern, had a great drag coefficient, and most importantly, still looked like a Mercedes – just very unadorned.
30 years on and the proportions are something to behold. It's a real shame that Mercedes-Benz is no longer the company that put out this little classic.
I have a 91 W201 2.6 along with a 89 W126 and 94 W124. The W201 is by far my favourite.
I have driven w201's for 18 years now. I started driving on a 1.8, then bought a 2.5D 8 years ago which I currently own alongside a newly purchased 2.6. The 2.6 is one of the most underrated cars, incredibly smooth engine, and totally silent. It's worth finding a good mechanic who understands these cars and you will never have problems with one.
I test drove about 30 over the years and there is a massive difference between an average one which will still perform admirable on a daily basis and a perfect one which will leave you smiling and admiring the depth of its engineering on each drive.
Never had a serious problem with mine, but I do spend a lot of money (relatively) maintaining them. Cheaper to own than a Honda Civic and the driving experience in incomporable.
I can't believe how many negative comments there are on this! It sounds like some posters were unfairly traded abused W201s. I just drove my 1993 2.6 eleven hundred miles for home (through Toronto, which is filled with modern C-Class), and it has been nothing but a joy. I've attracted compliments from many along the way.
Also, those interested should read "My Mercedes is not for Sale" by Jeroen van Bergeijk. It details his journey to sell a 300,000 mile 190D in sub-Saharan Africa.
P.S.: Check junkyards for affordable parts. The engines have always been snapped up, but the rest of the car lasts forever regardless of how long it sits unloved.
I own a Gray-Market 1985 190D originally sold in Austria before being imported used into the U.S. It get incredible mileage, is a blast to drive, handles like a modern sports car, and for a purist like me with the manual 5-speed, is pure heaven. I use it daily. With 152,650 miles on it, I expect many more miles before a major rebuild. For those detractors, I think you might be a tad bit wrong!
I've had my W201 for 15 years (since 1998 April).
Although some could argue it's not pure any more.
It has:
* R129 front brakes,
* 5 speed manual gearbox,
* 6 cylinder, 2.5L engine, twin turbos (21 years old),
* tuned to 216 rwkw / 289 rwhp.
Argue all you like, very few people would have kept the W201 for that long.
To replace the heater core one need not remove the entire dash. An access panel exists below the windshield and the wiper assembly- open the hood, look behind the firewall at the plastic grill which prevents leaves and debris from entering the engine compartment, remove the grill, and view the heater core. Chilton's or Haynes shows an exploded view quite clearly.
Are you talking about a 190e 2.6 ? heater core?
I can do it from the engine side?
I have a 1986 Mercedes 190D 2.5. Bought it through the Canadian PX when I was stationed with the US Army in Germany. It is a US spec car so we had to wait 12 months before we could pick it up from the factory. Picked it in July 1986 at the factory in Sindlefingen Germany. It has been an overall excellent car. The paint still looks new after 28 years. I get compliments on it all the time. It has 178,834 miles. I just got through putting new o-rings in the fuel injector delivery valves, which took about three hours. The car averages aroung 34 mpg city, and 39 mpg hwy. It is simple to work on. I rebuilt the front end in 2013, including new tie rod linkages and lower support arms and ball joints, and Bilstein shocks. It handles and rides amazingly well. It is asurprising that the car is still so solid at the age of 28. There are little problems popping up from time to time, but the parts are not expensive and are readily found on the internet. I am in my late 50s now, and I think that I will get a lifetimes use out of it. The styling is timeless. It is still a beautiful car to me. The color is Diamond Blue and it is gorgeous. Thank you Mercedes.
We paid 55,500 Deutsche Marks, or $26,428 at the exchange rate of 2.1 DM = $1. It was breath-takingly expensive in 1986, My wife and I wanted a 300D, but the waiting period for a U.S. Army officer in Germany was 2-years, whereas the 190D was only 1-year. I had about 16 months to go, so that made the decision for us.
Had I known them what I know now, I would have simply bought a used 300D in the States.
My favorite vehicle, now that I am a few years older, is a 2005 GMC 2500HD Duramax diesel w/Allison transmission. The little Mercedes diesel helped to make me a true fan of diesel engines. The Duramax in the GMC is less than 1,000 miles away from 250,000 miles. I've never had a problem with it. The oiI looks new even after 4,000 miles after the oil change. By comparison, the 190D oil is black 200 miles after the oil change. On the GMC, Ichanged the intake mouthpiece/manifold on the turbo ($85), along with the intake ducting between the manifold and the air cleaner ($120). I've changed the ECM programming a little ($450) so I'm now getting about 420 hp and 800 lbs-ft of torque out of the engine, and fuel mileage went from 18 to 22 mpg on the hwy at 70mph when empty. The truck runs and accelerates very well. It is strong, reliable, quick and can tow a house if needed. I wish Mercedes could make their street vehicles as strong and reliable as this GMC truck that I own. I still love the MB 190D, but the truck has become my favorite.
I have read that you can have your VIN decoded for details like this by the Mercedes Benz Classic Center in Newport, CA.
I just bought my 7th w201, the new one is a 1986 190d 2.5 5 speed diesel and holy crap you guys, its the best one yet, my first diesel 5 speed 190, its been a dream car of mine for a long time. A found this blog because i was running a search to find out how many 5 cylinder 5 speeds were produced for North America,i think it was probably lass than 500 while they produced a combined 1500units of the 2.3-16s for North America. i've had 2.3-16 x3—one was automatic, 190e 2.6 x2–one was five speed, a 190d 2.2 auto, and now this 2.5 manual. These cars are slow but i still wish more cars were built this good, the steering feels so solid and the gear work is so smooth and mechanical. If mercedes stuffed a v8 in one of these it might have been one of the best race cars ever made. Next car i need is a w124 wagon 2.5 diesel 5 speed.
I had one for fews months.It was very comfortable and excellent handling car. Mine was only a W201 180 E with 4 speed automatic. Still I was pleasantly surprised how good it drove an automatic gearbox.
I will definitely buy another one with manual gearbox and inline six.
here is an video of mine.
Enjoyed reading the comments on the 190E.
I'm in the UK and w201's can still be bought very cheaply. But it pays to find a good one.
Just bought a 1992 registered 2.0 gasoline model (petrol!) model that has been cherished: No AC and fairly modest spec.
Chose it over a W124 CE because we have small, tight roads and the 201 is way more fun.
Many comments about manual cars – manual MB's are unpopular in the UK. Except for the getrag 16v models. My W201 is a second car and still 'new' to me.
Critics of the styling maybe need to take more time to look at the car – the small details, like the angles on the roof, inset windshield and D pillars are just great.
This was the first MB to adopt the single wiper too.
The W124 coupe gets lots of praise?
But has half-hearted styling: the pillar-less design was not new and aside from the 'butler' seat belt holders… Er?
I'm not the worlds expert on MB cars. But the W201 is underrated and needs defending!
Sorry to those who have had a bad experience with the W201. As with all cars: You don't tend to hear from the many thousands of happy customers.
Lastly – That BIG Evo2 rear wing.
Maybe a bit sad? Even the fastest street going W201 could not justify that wing and I cannot defend that.
Hope this has entertained and
Must get back to my $3k MB…
I own a 1992190e and it's been garaged. The car is a dream to own. New water pump, New spark plugs and wires and rotor round out what the seller repaired prior to buying it. Very nice black on black, everything works like it's supposed to. Great job Mercedes Benz!!!!!!!!.
I've owned my 190E for a few months but I can genuinely say I enjoy every moment driving it.handling and ride quality brilliant.even better is the engine and gearbox .here's to a wonderful car !!!Thank You MERCEDES BENZ
my car is a U.S. spec 1986 190e 2.3 8v and weighs 3800 lbs 3 years after they were first produced and the philosophy was for lightweight? So whats up with my car?

Here is what it looks like in place ... I think it's sad to see planes fly w/o a pilot

The actual Me-262 cockpit of course looks quite a bit different and vastly more elaborate ... but somewhere a compromise needs to be found.

Servus Herb
in this thread, i posted some pictures of my geardoors: http://www.rc-network.de/forum/showt...?highlight=262 Just scroll down to the last pictures. If it does not help, i will make some new pictures. But this can take some time, as i will be back home next week. Just let me know Greets Cat |
Hi, I found it, thanks ! I will have to use two hinges at the front one mine.
. |
Hi Herb
Very nice work on your 262! I see you are using cotton balls for noise reduction is this the first time you used them? If not how well does this work? You have a very nice collection of Jets! I really like your Mig-21 I have seen a full size Mig 21 fly over my house. The owner stores his Mig at our local airport I've talked to him a few times and he told me it takes almost all of the runway to stop it. He said he is a little under 200mph when the wheels touch. Very nice jet to watch it take off and land. His Mig is a 2-seater so I asked him what would it take to get a ride he said a signed accidental death waiver and $3500.00 dollars for the fuel. Ouch! |
Hi Herb,
Thanks for a great thread!! I've really enjoyed your build and am considering an AW ME-262 for next year. I've wanted one this size for a long time and you're convincing me to swap meet a bunch if stuff this winter to open up some hanger space. I'm new to fans of this size. Can you lend any insight to the RC Lander 90mm fans. Also, I think it's ExtremeRC that has been showing off thier new all metal AMA approved fans. I was hoping those new fans might work in the 262. However they are 12s setups and so would add a bunch of wieght. Keep up the great work. Joe |
Hi, thanks !
I'm in Paris France Aug. till the end of September, so no work on the Me-262 ... Took this picture of a MiG-21 at Le Breguet airport yesterday . |
The one behind the MiG-21 is some sort of Fencer maybe ? not sure.
I got my second set of 120A esc's so will be able to test both ... hopefully one set will not go up in smoke. Somebody asked me abou the Sm 90mm fan earlier, I ruled that out because of the weight, almost twice what I have on mine. Way too much stress for the nacelles and esp. that lightweight wing imo. The new Jetfan has apparently rather weak blades, so that one was ruled out too. The lightweight DS-51(a classic and a tad more efficient than the Midi) was the only other option I considered. Some batts are on their way so I should be able to do some serious testing (taxi) when I get back. . |

Nowadays it seems most esc are set up by default for outrunner, so the parameters are somewhat sub-optimal - or even badly wrong - for 4-pole inrunners like the Neu 1515 and the HET 700 series.
So I changed the start from "normal" to "soft" (puts less strain on the fan adapter); I also set the timing back to 7 degrees, which is a better starting value for 4-pole inrunners like HET 700, Neu 1515 and Plettenberg 50 series. This should maximize the motor efficiency and reduce heat. Finally I set the PWM frequency back to 8kHz (instead of 16, which is for high pole outrunnner and ironless motors), the 16kHz is a bad value for the HET 700, makes the ESC get quite a bit warmer due to the increase switching frequency. It is nice to have a good quality program box to do all this stuff. . |

I managed to get the esc wiring done, and hooked up the fans to make sure they would both turn the same way
I ran the whole setup at half throttle for a few minutes just to check temps & resonances, and everything seems fine so far The sound's good so far and annoying vibrations are almost nonexistent, so far. After a two minute run both motor shafts & back plates are still at ca. room temp. .

Me 262
Thanks for info, was very useful. I am just about finished with my ME 262, and is hoping to maiden it on Sat and take it to our Oudtshoorn scale event next week. I am running HET outrunners with the HET impellers as I was not happy with the Mega motors and fans (too marginal). On a 6S pack I am pulling about 60A, but need to check the timing etc on ESC and run it again. There is a faint vibration on the motors at a certain RPM, but I suspect it will not be a problem if nacelles are mounted to wing. Will post some pics, as I am very happy with the paint scheme. Still need to add markings etc. but will probably do that at a later stage. Regards, andre |
Hi Andre,
Good luck on the maiden ... The Moki fans are not bad at all, they are an exact Schuebeler DS-51 copy (older series) . The problem I found with the HET 700 fans is that the rotors are not well balanced, in spite of claims to the contrary. I use the WeMotec pro rotors which are extremely smooth and well balanced. I also ordered two replacement rotors since the risk of fod ingestion is high with those low nacelles. I used the above video to run the sound track trough a spectral analyzer to test if both fans are running at the same rpm ... If they don't you'll see two close tracks. Here the two tracks for the lowest harmonic overlap perfectly and the two fans run at the same rpm (within track resolution). The problem is that occasionally the Kv's of two motors are close but not the same (eg 1490 and 1520 for a 1500kv motor, due perhaps to different winding packing fractions). On the Me-262 this can cause slight thrust asymmetries. Here luckily the two motors are very closely matched in Kv . . |

looking good herb! been a while since i checked in..
you know...you just got me thinking about the HET motor in my jetfan 90....packs were getting pretty puffed...and should only be a 3500w setup...but i never checked the setting on my turnigy esc...ill have to go back and adjust them similar to what your using, and try it out again... |

The first Portable Personal Music Player. Up until this time, while transistor radios and portable cassette players existed, the concept of having the primary sound output channel be a headphone jack was revolutionary.
In 1979, Sony introduced the TPS-L2 Walkman portable audio cassette player. It was a stereo cassette player, but did not include radio tuning facilities and had a battery life reported to be 3 hours. The official rumour is that Stevie Wonder was one of the first people in North America to own one, as he had one shipped from Japan the day they were released.
Since then, the WalkMan line has expanded to include Radios, CD Players (through the DiscMan Line), DAT, MiniDisc and Mp3/Atrac/OpenMG players.
