It's interesting to see the new thread winners emerge over the past year.
A bit of commentary, after a few cups of coffee this morning:
First off, the unquestioned site winner is the M104 top-end rebuild thread. This thread is linked from all over the Internet, and has been the inspiration and reference for dozens of people doing the same job (that I'm aware of). There is obviously A LOT of appetite and demand out there for M104 maintenance and repair.
400Eric's (RIP) long-standing "Test and Tune" thread continues to have major legs, although it fell far behind the M104 Rebuild thread in recent months. At Number Two overall, the strength and power of this thread cannot be put down, though we miss 400Eric almost as much as we miss Jelmer.
5SR should be damn proud of the views on his performance exhaust thread -- the gift that keeps on giving. Hopefully this translates into hundreds of sales of his E500E exhausts, and many thousands of profit dollars for him and his merry band of exhaust system resellers.
The perennial OWNER thread favorites abound -- Glen with his unprecedented billion-miler "DrP" OWNER thread, and our Irish 124 & 140 Savant JC220 rocketing into a major leadership position with his own OWNER thread.....powered purely by passion. Lowmania also abounds and excels in the OWNER thread department, as does nocfn's strong base & fan club of Banzworld 126 forum members in keeping his OWNER thread in nice solid & growing numbers. And yet ..... DerF's personality, wit and wisdom (not to mention forum-leading literary abilities) also keeps him as a perennial OWNER thread player.
Other HOW-TO threads are also high performers, such as the M117 EHA adjustment (again, heavily linked-to from all over the Interwebs and particularly TFTSNBN), and the fan clutch replacement HOW-TO.
The last stellar performer is the Parts Manufacturer Quality Naughty/Nice List, again one of the most linked-to threads on this forum, and a unique one on the Internet as to what it does. This thread and its continuing contributions from our members here, has steered thousands of Benz owners away from making poor parts decisions, and is probably one of the biggest, most benevolent services that this site provides to Mercedes-Benz owners worldwide.
Thanks for reading, participating and contributing !!
But a best guess is that the original poster of #1 clicks that view button as often as necessary to stay ahead of the views of #2. LOL!
