I'm on the top of the list, of course. Hopefully a freshly painted Trigger will bring me down.

I have similar plan - paint the SDL and ride it over. She really got sunburn last summer.

Ol' Turbo is the most comfortable, and nicest of my diesels, but I brought him last year.

Please let me know if you might drive over. A scheduling conflict has arisen in our household. My wife is trying to take us all to San Antonio because she has a conference there.....of course, that would mean flying.

I'm looking at the calendar and watching the grass grow ....and knowing how I need to get to the junkyard for some parts for you guys.....

CODA "might" not be ready to drive down.

No need to get all in a bunch. If the disclaimer worries you, don't come. But then Jimmy would get mad that you wouldn't be attending and would bow out, and then daw would get mad that Jimmy wasn't coming and would bow out, and on and on and on...

Hello Friends,

I heard about your event in the vintage section of the forum, don't get over here to the diesel discussion very often. Sounds like fun, and not far from Houston. Count me in...

You guys might ask the main Peachparts.com moderator to put a sticky or something somewhere so all the different sections can find out about it. If it wasn't for TX in Mississippi, I would not have known.

Any Mercedes events in Texas would interest me! Put me on the active list.

Jeffrey

I have another catagory for the meet ,the lowest mileage 80s ride .What do you think MR H.? That has to be a rare catagory for the diesels.

Im either in for a repaint and interior restore on a newbee before the meet ,or a paint touch up and radio install on an oldie.Im in pursuit of both of coarse but time is mine enemy and patience my virtue.Coupes a plenty have been my weekness this past year ,picked up 3 more in the last 4 months .Now that Im caught up on maintinence of the 2 garage queens,I go out and get three more ,go figure .Ill someday give this all up and become a ,wait ,craigslist is back up ,Ill chim in later.

I think the four awards we have now are already enough for the meet.

I think an award for the best looking SINGLE female might have a nice effect....
