MB parts when you need them...

In a previous post, I promised that I'd give you a better idea of WHY I may not find exactly the parts I wish at the local MB dealer...

Here it is.

...but your dealer has more parts than most of ours in the States.
By the way, what is that in the back of that Volvo....first glance looks like some guys in a tuxedo got "whacked"

Re: MB parts when you need them...

That's two cows in the Volvo, and the hides are carefully packed with the meat 'cuz they're gonna eat 'em... Who needs shoes anyway?

The heads are not skinned, that's for a special recipe. The legs are sold separately, cooked in a soup, hooves and all. And eaten hooves and all.

Then you don't want to know about the dog market on Friday along the road to Ikang, and the pepper soup they make with the mongrels...

What a unique Mercedes open air al-a-carte market. No need to for EPCs here we know exactly what we have and what you need.

Nice shots

I know how it feels... I see the same faces when I tell my British friends that one of my favourite dishes is "criadillas", i.e. bull's balls (What would you expect from an amateur bullfighter)

You see, it's about that local saying that goes: Whatever you eat will grow on you
