Here's photos from today's get together. We had five W123s (1982, 2 1983s and 2 1984s), two W126s (1987, 1988), a W203 (2003), and a W211 (2006). The average age of all the cars in attendance was 18 years old, and they were all looking quite good, MBs age gracefully. We had one owner come all the way from Alexandria, Louisiana in his beautiful 1983 300D (the blue one with the Texas flag plate on the front). We kicked tires, talked tech stuff, conversed among each other casually, ate, we had an all out good time.

And here's a photo where I've put the model year of each car under it.

Note: The 2006 E55 AMG left early, so it's not in the group photographs.

My SDL would have seen its twin as it's black also.

Got caught up with some business and that 420. The SDL isn't anything special stereo wise, basically stock... just some two way Kenwoods in the dash I picked up for $10, ten speaker system rears (the ones with the lil tweets), and a 780 Becker (hey, better than the 754 ).

I'll be in Houston this week for sure, have some things to do from Wed-Sun.

Maybe we can have GTGs every season? On the other boards I'm a member off we usually have them Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.
