We need an NC W123'ers get together. Sounds like there be a lot of us. Would love to hear of a pick-n-pull that has our kind of stuff. Ain't found one yet.

Yes, Yes we do.

Asheville is where it needs to be too. That way I can take the superdon down the whole of the NC Blue Ridge Parkway to get there.

What would be a good venue?

1 week from today we leave in the 300D, after visiting Monticello in VA the plan is to jump on the Blue Ridge Parkway and drive to Asheville.

Good times await (and maybe a nug ).

Find us a good field. I'll rustle up a bluegrass band.

I lived there for a year before moving back to Ga. It is a w123 haven. I bought 3 during the yr I lived there. That's where I found my 1985 300d with 60k+ miles from original owners. Made a killing on that car.

I live downtown and the bar/ resteraunt scene is one of the best in my opinion. Good food, good music, and hairy women

Asheville works for me. It's a bit of a drive but nice, especially in mid fall. Any u-upick-em yards there known for old benz inventory? we could do a pick and pull party on a saturday and wash up, dinner out and then travel back home sunday.

just a thought....i've never organized much of anything.
