You all have a lot of fun today.

Will,
No bogus tickets this time around, OK?

My move got postponed until this morning, so I'll be offline in about 10 minutes until this evening.

Wish I could have joined you for the fun.

I'll make the FALL diesel drive and again I suggest Nevada City/Grass Valley area and lunch at Willows.
Hey Jim B. can you help work out a FALL diesel Drive?? Freesil will be raring to go and I will as well. I'm thinking the 25th of October might be a good date. My birthday weekend (following Monday).


UPDATE!

It is 1:45 P.M. Sat. afternoon and I am moved and set up, well, mostly. The computer works, I have power and water and the like.

I enjoyed meeting everyone again as well as meeting the new comers.

My daughter Tiffany got to get her feet wet down at the beach after lunch so both of us left happy.

We had a great time!

About a dozen Benzites met at Canada College in Redwood City on the beautiful San Francisco Peninsula for the (fourth?) NorCal Diesel Drive. We had a nice selection of cars from the 123--124--126--210 sections of the M-B family. It was fun to compare, for example, the OM606 in a 124 chassis vs. the same (turbo) engine in a 210.

We had two gassers, I think? Jim's 500SEC and a beautiful 1977 280E with 208K on the odometer. I should be so well preserved as that car.

Edit: Jim has a 560SEC! (Gassers all look alike )

Pictures:

















Looking forward to the next one this Fall!

Jeremy

It was great meeting all of you!

Which was the car that, as stock set up, did not have a mechanical cooling fan? I think it was a 124 or 210?

Charlie (charmalu) has replaced the mechanical fan on his 123 car with an electric fan (in addition to the aux fan) -- is that what you are referring to? It was not that way from the factory, though.

Looks like a fine turnout and really nice cars and what a variety.

Freesil says we're going on the next one for sure.

I got moved yesterday and was back online by 1:45 P.M. Still have some un-stowing to do and a bit of finalizing the way the trailer sets(leveling out) but I'm in the new digs. 10 acres to roam. Boss Ladies animals arrive today so my new routine starts Monday. (not much different, just feeding and watering her horses, pig, goats and chickens(3) before I go off to my regular clients. A bit more of a drive to the first client though, but not bad.

I think taking the ALDA off Freeil has helped a lot in mileage, but I won't know for sure until I top off the tank.

Sorry I missed out on the DD, but I'll be there in the fall.

One of the interesting features of this DD is that almost every car had Euro headlights, either factory installed or by action of the current owner.

Overall it was a very fun day. It was a bit too sunny where we met (I got sunburnt), but the drive was really nice through the hills, and the semi-foggy Half Moon Bay was nice. There were a ton of people out and about yesterday, and I got a few waves and honks leading the caravan.

Hopefully everyone had a good time! Pictures later...
