Nice photo Tyler. Love the US park lights. Miss having them on my cars.

I've never seen a US spec W123 with the front fender mounted antenna, I've only seen the same antenna on an early model Euro version.

Sadly, even if I had winter pics, the surroundings don't look like anything that resembles winter.

No Snow for the '87 SDL

Not really any snow here in NW Arkansas. Taken the first weekend of 2011.

I believe each of these cars are the final production year for that model.

Ok, the first one is of my benz in it's current broken state (I actually took it this morning)



The second one I took when I was at the post office the other day - I thought it was funny. (Plus you can see my hood, so it counts)

Got my new fenders which will eventually be China Blue. I guess there are a few slivers of China Blue in there too.

Not China color, but it is a recent winter pic. There is Alex in there somewhere.

Taken today (snow covered bulge on the far right is my brown SD):



Taken during last year's first hammering:



Always a ton of shoveling involved

bodhi, when I saw you were responding to this thread, I figured you would take a shot of your car up on jack stands in the garage with winter showing through.
