There's another one on Star Lane. Head north on Chimney Rock from 59. 1st street on the left (galleria area). He's got some decent stuff. Most of it seems pretty picked through.

What color 300D? W124? My dad was in town driving the white 87. I have a Grey SDL, a Black SDL and a White 300D (124) I live in Katy too.

Dude, I work at 529 and Eldridge! I think POS lives close to Copperfield too....Ever see a grey SDL with Chrome OE wheels?

I waved at a grey SDL this morning at I-10 and Hwy 6, on my way to work. I think he blew me off!


529 and Eldridge...is that Toshiba?

Nope, thats W Little York and Eldridge. Trust me, I always look at other MB Diesel drivers, see if they are paying attention, but the SDL is quieter, so I can sneak up on you 617 guys!
