🚔11: We hit our investment goal of $10,000! 🥳
The $10,000 Goal
So two weeks ago I contacted a few of my friends to help raise $10,000 for Autohaven.
Then last week I extended that call to you guys on my mailing list.
Well guess what, we have managed to raise the full $10,000!
Plus some change, in fact.
One person came and cleared out the remaining balance!
And I cannot thank you guys enough, together with my friends, for making this happen.
That means Autohaven will continue developing and taking form.
We must realise the goal, which it to give every car owner a home for their car ownership journey.
And I am so grateful that thou art part of this!
Thank you, sincerely, you rock.

Mercedes-Benz’s Mechanical Fuel Injection
Before MFI emerged, carburetors reigned supreme as the go-to fuel delivery system in automobiles. These systems operated on a simple principle—using engine vacuum to draw fuel from a float chamber and mix it with air. While effective, carburetors were limited in their precision and efficiency.
Launched in 1952, the 300SL is one of the most iconic models to feature Multi-Point Fuel Injection (MFI), which was introduced in the roadster version in 1954.
The 300SL’s MFI system significantly boosted its performance, allowing the 3.0-liter inline-six engine to produce an impressive 215 horsepower.
This power enabled the car to reach top speeds of around 140 mph—exceptional for its time and positioning the 300SL as one of the fastest production cars in the world.

Turbocharging
Alfred Büchi born on July 11, 1879 was a Swiss engineer and inventor renowned for his invention of turbocharging. Born in Winterthur, Switzerland, and raised in Ludwigshafen, he was the son of Johann Büchi, a chief executive at the Swiss industrial firm Sulzer. Growing up in a family that prized education and innovation, Büchi demonstrated a strong interest in engineering from an early age.
Büchi enrolled in the Federal Polytechnic Institute (ETH Zurich) in 1899, where he earned his degree in mechanical engineering in 1903. He initially worked in Belgium and England before returning to Switzerland in 1908. During his early career, he became increasingly fascinated with improving combustion engine efficiency, particularly regarding exhaust heat loss.
