The Merkur Club of America Forums

I've received some emails from a gentleman who is looking to find a new home for his late brother's XR. He describes it as in poor condition and is willing to give it away, but does have the title (still in his brother's name). If the new owner wants to title the car, he would like them to pay the $...

I thought I was going to duplicate the issue just now, but after a long delay it brought up the page for me. Reloading the PM page after it loaded the first time was quick. I'll dig into this more when I have time, but unfortunately I have a pressing family matter going on right now and just can't d...

I just checked my PMs and I can't duplicate the issue. It's almost instantaneous for me.

Different boards have different policies about reviving old threads, but we're good with it, especially when new information is being added.

The second picture is much more of what I associate with the show.

I guess if you buy the truck and want the same results, there's some assembly required.

That's not ringing any bells with me, Bob.

I can think of a scenario where we may have discussed multiple accounts for one user, but that's not the situation here and I don't want to take this off on a tangent.

Thanks, Ed. Sorry to hear that in fact Russ has died.

Any chance you could grab a screen capture and post it to the thread? I'd appreciate it. For those who don't Facebook or who missed seeing it and will likely never find it again.

Before this gets out of hand, I didn't see any knowledgeable statements that Russ has died, just that his health isn't good and he's selling/sold the business. For that matter, while I'm not doubting the original poster's information, we don't have any publicly released information from Rapido regar...

There appears to be a DNS issue with Midwest Merkur right now. You could call or email Jeff Herson directly.

email blugg@msn.com or direct 847-688-1234

I don't know what's going on with the Rapido website, but I expect we'd get some advance notice if they were going out of business.

I have been tempted to break out the AGM vs. lead-acid argument into its own thread. It might still happen.

Welcome back!

The last build was impressive, to say the least.

Do I understand that you're going to keep the drivetrain stock(ish) this time?

In regards to the bcs being bypassed or replaced with a MBC above, can I simply unplug bcs and swap with mbc? Or do I need to communicate my intent to the ECU in some way? To try to better cover the bases than just giving a blanket answer, I'm going to say that it depends on how far you're planning...

Peter, do you have Sam's Club in your area? My local Sam's has Duracell-branded Group 48 in stock. If you're more of a Costco person, they carry Group 48 also, although if it's not in stock at your local Costco, you may have to see if your club will order it for you or order an AGM version, since th...

Nice!
