3) Let the world know what Sprinters, mileages, badgings, etc. are out there!

4) Visit the Sprinter-Wiki (http://www.sprinter-source.com/wiki/...tle=Main_Page). This provides a place for everyone to help maintain a "Sprinter Encyclopedia" with entries on things like the history of German vans that lead up to the Sprinter (http://www.sprinter-source.com/wiki/...le=Pre_History) and details on specific Sprinter types (http://www.sprinter-source.com/wiki/..._Cruiser_MB222, http://www.sprinter-source.com/wiki/...Conversion_Van, or http://www.sprinter-source.com/wiki/...egory:Class_C).

5) Post a picture of your Sprinter (http://www.sprinter-source.com/forum...splay.php?f=29) or introduce yourself (http://www.sprinter-source.com/forum...read.php?t=59).

6) Post your questions or answer someone elses queries. But before you post, perform a search (http://www.sprinter-source.com/forum/search.php) to determine if there is already a post or thread that might answer your question or provide a context for your post!

7) Add your 2 cents to the Sprinter-Wiki (http://www.sprinter-source.com/wiki/...tle=Main_Page). Remember that the Sprinter-Wiki resource allows all to share their knowledge in an easily searchable, editable, and maintainable format!

8) Learn about the Sprinter-Forum Private Message capabilities (http://www.sprinter-source.com/forum/private.php) and check to see if you have any new messages in your inbox.

9) Enjoy! And visit often . . .
