![]() Clearly not an MB person, but reflects positively on the condition and the enduring style of this original SLK. Recently, we drive the vehicle down to vote and was stopped by some admirers who thought the car was new. I have used the factory touch-up paint to fill in some paint chips and the car polishes out very nicely. ![]() The color of my car is white and it still looks fantastic after all these years. Short drives of 2-3 miles with lots of starts might drop the mileage down to 22.5 or so, but this is rather unusual. This is exacerbated if one purchases cheaper tires with a large block tread, so beware.Īs far as mileage goes, in normal commuting, I conservatively get 24.5 mpg and have achieved 28 mpg on long highway trips with the A/C off and 70-80mph cruising speeds. With the staggered tire sizes on this vehicle, rotating front to back is not an option, so the tires do acquire some pattern wear. One might think there is a problem with the rear differential, the noise is so pronounced. One thing that contributes to higher noise levels in this vehicle is when the rear tires get some miles on them. They are a bit noisy or more so than most MB's so I think they got a bad rap early on, as I recall many being for sale shortly after being purchased with very low miles many years ago. They are a little tricky to replace but can be done even without a special tool with a little patience, but the special tool is great.Įven though I have other MB's to drive, such as a CLK cabriolet, if I am running errands and such this is my "go to" car. I've replaced one plastic shift bushing and think the second one is now due, the parts cost is about $1.00. The electrical connector on the transmissions leak fluid about every 5 year/50K miles. ![]() and I'm a Euro car tech so fixed it myself. I did encounter a noisy camshaft variable timing unit which was the most expensive part I've replaced, part cost was close to $400. one could simply buy a new one, for under $100 and replace it quite easily. MAF sensor right around 70K miles, K40 Relay failed at 78K and I found and re-soldered the melted connection and it has been good ever since. 00 C230 Kompressor:bowdown: Hamilton, Canada. I have had what seems to be pattern failures on the vehicle. the filter wrench is couple bucks at any car parts store, the the oil filter from the dealer its under 10 for oil use any recommended as mentioned previously and removal of plastic underneath is 4 8mm bolts 15-20 min very easy and no mess like most other cars. I now have over 110K on it and it has been a very good car. It is the base model and my favorite commuting car.

When the party encounters members of a local tribe, Man speaks their dialect and engages in friendly banter with their key representative. In one case the animal is also stripped of its internal organs, although at least the local tribesmen actually make use of the meat rather than just pull out its teeth and leave the carcass to rot. If you're an animal lover, you're also not likely to be jumping with joy at the footage of elephants being shot for real. They're here to hunt elephants, ostensibly for their ivory (which cuts no ice here, matey), but the Hunter is shooting anything with large ears and a trunk whether it's sporting tusks or not, something Man is not too impressed by. The safari in question has been funded by an unnamed rich white berk played by South African actor Gert van den Bergh, but is managed by a similarly anonymous chap played by Cornel Wilde, who's referred to in the credits only as 'Man'. It's just such a party of big game buffoons that we meet at the start of The Naked Prey, a 1965 pulp adventure story from director and lead actor Cornel Wilde. For me the most shocking thing about the whole affair was the realisation that rich white idiots are still to this day trotting off to Africa to kill wild animals for their own amusement. It's a sad fact that the key reason this killing prompted international uproar is that this visually distinctive lion had been anthropomorphised by giving it a cute name so that tourists would come to think of it more as a pet than a beast. It's a pastime that recently found its way into the news when an American dentist named James Walter Palmer shot and killed a lion named Cecil, who was a popular resident of the Hwange National Park in western Zimbabwe. More than once I've seen this practice described as a sport, which I might just buy into were the animals fully aware of the hunters' intentions and some balance was provided by either giving the creatures rifles and teaching them to shoot or arming the hunters with only shields and knives. ![]() The bigger and more magnificent the beast, the more these worthless toads wanted its head on the wall of their country estate. And there was little these creatures enjoyed more than trotting off to darkest Africa, as it was once insensitively labelled, and shooting the crap out of the local wildlife. ![]() Usually, although by no means exclusively male, these humanoid creatures were the product of a bygone time when international travel for the purpose of leisure was the almost exclusive province of the obscenely wealthy. Once upon a time, the Big Game Hunter was a popular figure in literature and film. ![]() Cornel Wilde stars in and directs THE NAKED PREY, a smarter than it first looks tale from 1965 of a white safari guide who is hunted by a group of tribesman that his group have offended, given a typically impressive HD makeover on the Blu-ray in this new Masters of Cinema release. ![]() Extensive and constantly updated catalog: over 3 million products to help you find the best solution for your needs.Through our website, you can place any order and receive the products directly at your office with fast and punctual shipping.

On the lower part of their body, you’ll notice that the bees look a lot more shiny and smooth. Generally speaking, these bees will just have a small patch of hair in the middle of the abdomen. Carpenter bees are nowhere near as hairy as bumblebees so this is one of the easiest ways to tell them apart. When it comes to identifying bee species, it can be difficult as many look very similar. Let them get on with what they’re doing and they’ll leave you alone. However, carpenter bees have a smooth stinger so they can sting time and again.īut again, I’ll reiterate that it’s perfectly possible to live alongside these bees in your garden without ever getting stung. When a honey bee, or any other barbed species, stings, the stinger gets stuck in the victim leaving behind a wound on the bee that is always fatal. However, they’re probably more likely to sting than a honey bee since carpenter bees do not have a barbed sting. Again, they’re docile and usually reluctant to sting unless they really have to. Moreover, if you continue irritating the males, it won’t be long before the females swoop in and they do have a stinger. That said, if you are being ‘attacked’ by male carpenter bees, I’d highly recommend backing off for the simple reason that it’s not nice to upset them. It’s the males that are responsible for protecting the nest but since they don’t even have a stinger, there’s not much that they can do other than buzz around you, which is annoying but not dangerous. You’d really have to work hard to get on to sting you and the only reason they’d ever really do that would be if they felt that their nest was under threat. While carpenter bees might look scary, they’re one of the gentlest bee species out there. It’s really sad that so many people are convinced that bees are a foe rather than a friend but in most cases, these are very docile creatures that just want to go about their business without being bothered. ![]() Final Thoughts Do Big Black Bees Sting?īefore we get into what these big black bees are, let’s take a moment to consider whether they are a threat.What Are The Main Differences Between Carpenter Bees And Bumblebees?. |
