Pff, in CT if we get 5-6 cars to show its amazing. Even on nice days.

Come on I think we at least hit 10 last time. Just have to get the adverts out early and make sure you have a really good location that's convenient for as many people as possible.

Yeah that was a good turn out, the ones before you joined were smaller.

The best turn out was at Bill's in PA a few years ago.

There was one in Wichita where I got to drive a SLR for half a day.

Wow! I had no idea your car was that clean Man good shape W123's are rare around here. Its good to see one that's in good nick. (The clean wheels make all the difference in the world)

Thanks, but my car is nothing compared to some California members: Turbobenz and Mbeige have really nice cars.

I refinished the bundts myself... I have mixed feelings about not having them anymore.

Pentas have their pros and cons. I would trade straight across for 15" bundts.

Pro Number 1 of pentas...easier to clean

I know how hard it is to clean the 15 holes on my wheels...I can only imagine how big of a PITA budts must be to clean....


I paid mine to be redone a few years ago and they are still holding out pretty good ($75 each to be stripped and repainted) If I do it again in a few years i'm going to look into powder coating them.
