likely around 20
I REALLY should have written down the members' names I've met... (all members that came to my yard to buy or sell stuff or just to help I'd love to have a list of you all!)
John - I stopped by a couple of times for parts when I was travelling (maybe 2-3 years ago?). I bought a W126 rear window, a front quarter panel for my 300SD, and a few other minor items...

Haven't met any others face-to-face...
