AUGUST 2013

‘ROUND THE BENZ

Saturday, 17 August 20139:01 a.m.

Join the Pikes Peak Section for breakfast at the Golden Corral at 5410 E. Woodmen Rd at 9:01 a.m. on Saturday, 17 August. After a leisurely breakfast, we will commence with our annual President’s Rally. Those who don’t want to have breakfast, please join us in the Golden Corral parking lot at 10:29.

Since this year is 2013, an odd year, the name and theme of this rally is “Everything Odd.” Think odd-numbered highways and roads, i.e., I-25, Hwy 85/87, Highway 83 (Academy Blvd), Highway 21 (Powers Blvd), etc. or odd

street numbers and names. Also, look for anything definably odd, bizarre, or unusual along the rally route.

You don’t have to be odd to participate (although it helps!); just bring your odd

(3)-pointed star car, a part-ner, a pencil, a clipboard, and a map or GPS. Answer the questions along the rally route, which ends, oddly enough, at an appropriately odd eatery where we will enjoy lunch. Prizes will be

awarded to the top three fin-ishers. Cost is $11 per car.

Please RSVP to Andrew Nelson at 719-634-7522 or [email protected]

The President’s Odd Rally

Recognize this oddity?

Thank You Pikes Peak Section Mother Nature took down one of our members in a most dev-astating way in June. Letha Robison’s ranch was de-stroyed by the Black Forest fire - she lost her childhood home, two barns and all of her belongings. Thankfully her horses, dogs, and 2 vintage Mercedes were saved. In the immediate aftermath of the fire, however, she was overwhelmed and in need of some friends.

The Pikes Peak Section rallied around and planned two work days to help her out. On 6 and 13 July, 28 members turned out in their grubbiest clothes with shovels and

sifting screens at the ready. We labored to find anything intact and salvageable amid the rubble. We found some ceramic pieces, including

a nativ-ity set, a family heirloom. We moved scrap metal into a giant pile and tried to help out wherever we could. It was two days of dirty, back-breaking, and exhausting, but rewarding work. Thanks to all of the Pikes Peak Section members who helped out. We will keep you abreast of the progress as Letha rebuilds.

Who says Mercedes don’t hold their value? A classic Mercedes-Benz race car driven by Formula 1 legend Juan Manuel Fangio sold for $29.6 million at auction in England last month.

The 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196 single-seater was driven by the five-time world champion racer when he clinched his second title in 1954. The Argentine drove the car to victories in the 1954 German and Swiss Grand Prix races.

Mercedes-Benz has quietly added a new nine-speed automatic to its E-Class

range, though the option is not yet avail-able in the U.S.

The transmission, labeled a 9G-TRONIC, is selectable on the configurator of the automaker’s German website and so far is only available with E350 BlueTEC trim, where it replaces a previous seven-speed 7G-TRONIC. The extra gears are said to yield significant improvements in fuel economy and CO2 emissions. Advantag-es over dual-clutch units include lighter weight, better reliability, less complexity and cheaper manufacturing and repair costs.

Mercedes News

First, I would like to heart-ily thank all the section members who attended two Saturday work days on 6 and 13 July out in the Black For-est. We were there to help our fellow sec-tion member, Letha Robi-

son, whose home was lost in the recent fire. I know she really appreciates all the effort to help clean up and separate all the scrap metal and to dig out and sift for recoverable items. I urge everyone to do everything they can to help the victims of the Black Forest fire.

Second, I would like to thank our lo-cal dealer, Mercedes-Benz of Colorado Springs. Our 2000 ML320 needed a new

set of tires. I was able to get a really good quote from a local tire dealer, but Service Advisor, Steve Differding, along with Parts Manager, Lance Michaels, were able to match that price. So I would advise all Section members to consider Mercedes-Benz of Colorado Springs if you need tires. Remember, Pikes Peak Section members receive a 20% discount on all MB parts and labor (excluding tires)at the dealership.

Third, don’t miss our Section breakfast and “Everything Odd” President’s Rally on Saturday, 17 August. I promise the questions will not be too difficult. Don’t miss the highlight event of the summer - our Drive-In Movie Night on Sunday, 1 September, hosted once again by Dan & Cheryl Kerbs.

As always, drive safe, and I will see you down the road.

Drive-In Movie by Cheyl KerbsSunday, 1 September 2013

4:00 p.m.Ready for a leisurely drive through the countryside? After last year’s hectic run through the city, this year’s rally will be a relaxing tour of our beautiful area, with a few stops along the way. You will have to use your imagination, as the music and narrative guides you though the route.

Meeting place: 4:00 PM

Flying Horse Garden and Wine Shoppe1617 Silversmith Rd.Colorado Springs, CO

The Garden Shoppe is just off of Northgate Road, between I-25 and Hwy 83. We sug-gest coming via 83 from Colorado Springs, to avoid the construction on I-25.

The rally ends at Dan and Cheryl Kerbs’ house, 7183 Stinson Dr. We are holding the cost to last year’s $25 per person, which includes the rally, “gourmet” meal, movie, drinks, popcorn, and candy! Dinner will be served at 6:30. The movie will start

at dusk. If you can’t make the rally, you are still welcome to join us for dinner and the movie!

Look forward to a very easy rally, even though we know how “smart” you all are. Get ready for a “full-bodied” romp, and I do mean romp!

Don’t forget to bring your “Star” car with a CD player and radio to get the most out of our adventure.

Please RSVP to Dan Kerbs, [email protected] or 719-964-5956 by 23 August so we know how much food to buy.

Fall Drive Sunday, 22 September 2013

9:00 a.m.Fall is coming and that means Oktober-fest! What better way to celebrate than at a great German restaurant, Westfalen Hof, in Golden, CO. This will be a perfect destination for a Sunday fun run. Set in the pictur-esque Coal Creek Canyon, this trip will be a great way to close out the summer driving season. It will be particularly scenic if the leaves have started to turn.

We’ll gather in the Safe-way parking lot at 3275 W. Colorado Ave at 9:00 a.m. From there we’ll work our way up Highway 24 to Highway 285 and parts north. It will be a beautiful drive.

From plate-sized weinerschnitzel to other traditional favorites like sauerbraten, stro-

ganoff, rindsroulade, Hungarian goulash, and kohlrouladen, Westfalen Hof has all your German favorites.

Check out their menu at: http://menus-first.com/westfalenhof/wp-content/up-loads/2010/08/westfalenhofmenu.pdf.

Not only does it con-tain the extensive list of dishes, but it also provides some history of the most famous dishes. Did you know Queen Marie, wife of Ludwig XV, created the Koeniginpastetchen, or that Westfaelischer sauerbraten is a sweet-and-sour dish, prepared

from a traditional recipe, where the gravy is made with pumpernickel bread and raisins? Come along with us so you can try these menu choices for yourself. Call Judy for information at 719-576-9737

We’re hoping for some good weather at the end of September as we head out into the mountains for our annual, 2-day Off-Road Weekend. Our destination this year is Salida, CO, located in the Arkansas River Valley. The commu-nity of 5,500 is surrounded by Forest Service and Department of Wildlife lands, a haven for bikers, camp-ers, hikers, skiers, and hunters. It is a lovely natural setting with several converging moun-tain ranges that boast 15 peaks that reach over 14,000 feet in elevation...perfect for our off-road adventure. The Arkansas River winds its way through the valley and along the downtown of Salida, inviting rafters, kayakers, fishers, and “beach lovers” alike.

Salida has a charming downtown area, the largest historical downtown district in Colorado, home to blocks of Victorian buildings with fantastic restaurants, in-spiring galleries, tempting boutiques, and outdoor sports stores. There is an array

of shops for kitchens, kids, books, knitters and quilters. It’s a great place to stock up or find a unique gift to take home.

Tom Croak is looking for trails to challenge but not intimidate our intrepid off-roaders. Old Monarch Pass, Mar-shall Pass, Tincup Pass, and Whale Hill are some of the trails under consideration by our trailmeister. Remember, our motto is we don’t bend any metal. The occasional flat tire doesn’t count!

We’ll be staying at the Holiday Inn Express in downtown Salida. Rates are $109 per night ($131

including tax & fees) for a king or double queen room. Please call them directly to reserve your room and men-tion MBCA. The phone number is 719-539-8500. Reservations must be made

by 13 September to get our group rate.

Direct any questions to Judy Bennett at 719-576-9737 or bennett912@comcast.

Brewery Tour - 19 October 2013Following the October breakfast at the Golden Corral, the Pikes Peak Section will travel to Fort Collins to visit the Budweiser Brewery and Clydesdale Hamlet where we’ll take the compli-mentary guided tour. The tour is a walking tour and lasts about one hour and fifteen minutes. Parts of the tour are outdoors.

The Clydesdales can be viewed on this tour at the Clydesdale Hamlet. Cameras are always welcome, so be sure to take lots of pictures. Guests are welcome to enjoy their favorite beer samples on the outdoor patio where we can view the beautiful Rocky Mountains.

There are two additional options for tours:

1. Beer School is a fun, interactive and informative experience that explains the steps for beer appreciation. The class is about 45 minutes long and introduces you to a variety of beer styles, ingredients, proper pouring techniques and food-pair-

ing suggestions. This program is limited to guests who are 21 years of age or older, and offered on a first come, first serve basis. The cost is $10 per person.

2. Stimulate your senses and sat-isfy your curiosity as you explore the art of brewing on the Anheuser-Busch Beermaster Tour. The tour provides a unique opportunity to

experience a behind-the-scenes look at the brewing of Budweiser. You will visit the Brew House, Starting Cellar, Packag-ing Facility, Beechwood Aging Cellar and Clydesdale Hamlet. Reservations are required. This is a 2-hour walking tour; cost is $25 for visitors ages 21+ and $10 for visitors ages 13-20.

If you are interested in the Beer School or the Beermaster Tour contact Gary Gagnon ASAP for reservations. Phone: 719-332-7501 or email at [email protected]

D-I-Y Tech Session - 17 November 2013It’s hard to believe but summer is draw-ing to a close. While we’re sweatin’ to the oldies in the dog days of August, we should be thinking ahead to winterizing our vehicles for the coming months. What better way to do that than at our Fall Do-It-Yourself Tech Session.

Come on down to Mercedes-Benz of Colorado Springs on Sunday, 17 Novem-ber. Put your car up on the rack, check the antifreeze, put on new brakes, change the oil or whatever repairs or maintenance you want to do. It costs just $10 plus parts. Call Dave Williamson at 719-575-7976, to reserve your service bay.

The summer driving season is here and that means we’re hit-ting the road. Here are a few tips on how to stay organized. When traveling I like to take a few items along, just in case.

I went to a local office supply store and bought a couple black plastic milk crates (you can see one in the background) to carry a few items when on a trip. They are light and cheap, and hold a lot. Some of the items I carry include a first aid kit and Armor-All moist glass wipes. These work really well for cleaning dead bugs from the windshield and other glass. Because they are moist, they can be used for other clean-up jobs. I also take along a roll of paper towels, RainX glass cleaner, a Dy-son Vacuum Cleaner and a handful of new microfiber cloths. Everything fits nicely in the milk crate. The crate keeps everything together and easy to find. Normally I will also carry a digital multi meter. The meter is useful when doing electrical testing (bat-tery voltage, fuses etc.).

The plastic milk crates do not slide around

and I normally keep them near the rear door of my GL. They are very handy when you need to refill your grill gas bottle. As you can see the LP gas tank fits perfectly into the milk carton. The carton keeps the tank from falling over

and rolling around.

Have a good summer. Until next month.

Ken

‘ROUND THE BENZ

Meet the Board by Julie NelsonOne of my favorite experiences with a Mercedes-Benz happened before I even owned one. While Andrew and I were dat-ing, we traveled to Ger-many in 1990. We had a Mercedes-Benz rental car, a 260E. Because he knew his way around pretty well, Andrew did most of the driving, on the Auto-bahn, in the cities, out on country roads and in the little towns. As always, the M-B was comfortable and smooth.

By the time the second Sunday rolled around, I was ready to give Auto-bahn driving a shot. At the time, most Autobahns were still only two lanes in each direction. The Ber-lin Wall had only recently come down, so there were a lot of Ladas, Trabants and other Eastern

Block vehicles—gutless—on the road. Lucky for me, most large trucks were not allowed on the Autobahn on Sundays, so

the chances of my hav-ing to slam on my brakes while a Trabby was pass-ing a semi were pretty slim.

The 260E wasn’t par-ticularly fast, but it was fast enough for me. I was willing and able to drive at 220kph for a little while (about 137mph). What a rush! But that took a lot of concentration—no room for conversation, music, etc. So I settled in at about 160kph (about 100mph). Rarely have I had so much fun driving! Maybe someday, we’ll make it to Germany again, and I can expand my skills

even further.

July Fun RunWe had a great time at the July Fun Run to Victor, CO and the Gold Rush Days. Eighteen of our members met for breakfast at the Black Bear Diner before heading out to the mountains. It was a beautiful day for a drive - blue skies, cool temperatures, great mountain roads.

When we got to Victor, the festivities were in full swing. We paused to watch a drill-ing competition before checking out the

vendors. After a short shower, the belly dancers took the stage and we watched with ice cream in hand. After doing our part for Colorado’s economy, we headed out again, this time to parts south - via Hwy 11 and 9 to Hwy 50. The day ended at the Hen House in Pueblo West for some good conversation and better chicken. It was a great day. Many thanks to the organizers, Henry and Sylvia Russell.

Mercedes-Benz’s compact car range currently consists of three models, the A-Class hatchback sold overseas; the B-Class MPV, which launches here as an electric car next spring; and the stylish

CLA sedan that’s just gone on sale. Next year, a GLA crossover will be launched along with a fifth model, a CLA Shooting Brake, though the latter won’t make it to the U.S.

Further down the track, Mercedes-Benz is considering even more compact cars, the automaker’s CEO has just revealed.

“We are considering the final portfolio of

the next generation of our compact cars,” Mercedes-Benz CEO Dieter Zetsche said to Automotive News (subscription re-quired). “We have to define it and we may expand the portfolio.”

Zetsche didn’t state what additional vari-ants might be added but did reveal that the next generation of Mercedes compact cars was due from 2018 onwards.

Mercedes has long been rumored to be planning a convertible sports car based on its front-wheel-drive platform that under-pins its compact car range. In fact, the au-tomaker first previewed such a car as early as 2000 with its Vision SLA concept.

Another possibility, and one that looks more likely, is a convertible version of the CLA. Such a car would target the likes of the upcoming BMW 2-Series Convertible and Audi A3 Cabriolet.

Mercedes-Benz CEO Dr. Dieter Zetsche has revealed that a decision on production

in Mexico will be made early next year, reports Au-tomotive News.

If approved, the CLA would be built at an existing Nis-san plant in Aguascalientes,

Mexico, beginning in 2018, Zetsche went on to reveal, suggesting a next-generation version of the car .

Nissan plans to upgrade the plant for production of an Infiniti compact car, which suggests a U.S. launch of its compact. Infiniti is yet to officially confirm the launch of a compact car in the U.S.

The benefits of Mexican production are numerous. They include access to good infrastructure, competitive cost structures and lucrative free trade agreements with the U.S. The move would also help Mer-cedes hedge against currency fluctuations and aid logistics. The CLA is currently at a plant in Hungary alongside its A Class and B Class siblings.
