Apologies for the radio silence... Morocco is an intense place to work.
Turns out the w123/201s are in pretty rough shape, at least cosmetically. I was there making a commercial and did something pretty interesting with a 200D:
Not the driftiest car around but it worked =)
Will share the thing when it's done.
Strelnik- I was there for about 10 days. Primarily Fez, though a bit in Casablanca, Rabat and Chefchaouen... French abounds, but Arabic (or Berber) is the lingua franca. The French cultural flourishes are still apparent but unless you're dealing with white collar professionals, you're speaking very broken french or english (neither edged the other out) to whomever else you need to engage with. 2020 for work? Hope you enjoy couscous and Tagine =)
