Miss me?
I know you do..

Thought I'd say hello. I'm still technicaly a diesel driver, my VW is my work vehicle now. It's grown an issue or two since father's had it the last two years, and there's that little matter of half a million miles. But it still get's 42mpg, and the AC works.

Miss the 300D. Hope Rich is doing well with her. The BMW has some odd noises going on from mileage (piston slap?), but it's smooth and quick and I turned 26mpg on a hard driving 200 miles in Raleigh traffic and interstate last Saturday. That's what most people who are honest are seeing from a w123 300D on average, so I'm not complaining. The little BMW really impresses the heck out of me still. One of these and a w126 might be a good pair to own..

I would rather have a BMW 2000.

Is that why it has been so quiet, you have been gone.

Drop in more often, we shall entice you into another cute little W123D or luscious W126D.

You should definitely find yourself a W126 and get back on this site!

Lot's of good discussions in the past.

Nice to see you stop by! Don't be a stranger!
