Derricks super funny.

His car is amazing.

ugh, DEREK!

Yea, Justin took a good picture! Personally, its the prettiest picture of a w123 ive ever seen

.The angle is amazing. Look at how the fender lips above the wheels wells on the fenders taper smoothly out, the chrome under the rear lights, the door and window chrome, the way the silver wheels contrasts with the diamond blue exterior, all against an aesthetically perfect interior and a well engineered chassis. The perfect car! Aesthetically no other chassis gets this close to perfect.

the 85 300D smokes to much because I have the ALDA adjusted to far out. When crossing the triple digits you begin to leave a grey contrail behind you

The SD is just about perfect now. When you drove it Tyler it didn't have a new front end, new now oem shocks, and fresh paint! Im almost tempted to bring the SD down but it would be a shame not to share the w123 with my fellow enthusiasts

Plus, ive never taken it on a real "trip" before and did I mention I recently paid it off? Yes! No longer in debt $1500 to the bank of dad!

So Tyler, are you really going to come out to this meet?

turbobenz and I are wondering....

johnathan1 · #35 12-12-2008, 05:18 AM

Whoa, that would be amazing if Tyler came to this one! I will definitely come out to this one! I will probably bring my SEC, since I hate my 300D, and it will probably be sold tomorrow morning... :\

Chadahar · #36 12-12-2008, 03:05 PM

Man oh man Jonathan1, I wish I'd have know you were selling it before you bought your SEC. I'd have made you a killer deal on a swap of Mariah(560 SEC) for the diesel. I'm having Diesel Withdrawals...that'd be DW's instead of the DT's. LOL!

I am planning to come down for this one, and will be staying at the Menage Hotel, in Anaheim, so as to be near to the Mercedes Benz Classic Center in Irvine. I bought some new from parts from there when I was there a week or so ago, and just got them yesterday.

TylerH860 · #39 12-12-2008, 06:25 PM

I'm still considering it. I will be driving up to the ski house in Colorado no matter what, and it is only about 12 hours away from SO CAL. I may stop in Vegas for a night too.

I talked to my grandma in Costa Mesa, and she's excited to have me come out. Let me get through Tuesday (my last final) then I'll decide.

DeliveryValve · #40 12-12-2008, 06:32 PM

Wow this looks like an All Star cast! I am 99% sure I'm in.

But my '83 might be bashful against these other beauties!

Jim B. · #41 12-12-2008, 08:59 PM

As soon as the time, date, and place are FIRMLY set, then contact the Diesel Discussion Moderation and request he will make it a "Sticky".

OK, Patrick?

iwrock · #42 12-12-2008, 09:14 PM

Yeah, the wagons going to be ready to go for this meet.

Wow! Well it hasn't technically sold just yet...the guy is supposed to come back tomorrow...Anyway, I don't think you would like this one...I highly doubt it would meet your standards.

vwnate1 · #44 12-13-2008, 02:15 AM

I'm in ! I don't get here often as I'm usually on crappy Dialup and it takes 2 minutes to load each page.....

That's why I didn't see this thread before now , another guy mentioned it .

I'm _always_ up for meets and road rallys , I drive my Diesel Coupe daily and run the snot out of it in various road rallys....

Let's post up the actual location to meet at , not just links...

See you alls Jan 10th if I hear about where .

Disclaimer: (Thanks, Patrick)
This isn't a competition on who has got the cleanest (insert MB chassis here), rather it's just a chance to finally put faces on user names on the board, and of course to meet the true people behind those names.

We are absolutely pet, spouse, children, singles, couples, young, old and in between friendly!!!

Look forward to seeing you!!
