Maybe people can say what they are bringing and you provide a different model from your collection than is being represented ?

You aren't planning on bringing that Honda again, are you? If you're in such dire straits, go start Passion Flower and bring her into town.

I start Passion Flower up weekly..... and I have not had to spray the berry patch for insects since I parked her upwind....
I was just thinking about the predicament concerning Air conditioning and the Honda VS being at the meeting hot in the MB......

Well, you may do what you wish, but from what I hear, it might be better to show up to the get together, warm and in an MB! Especially since you have so many to pick from. Actually a bicycle might be more readily accepted at a MB get together than a Honda.

Easy choice Nellybell. We all look at 123s all the time. But an old 115? Now that is a car we should spend some time looking at and remembering how we got to the 123s. I had a '76 240D. It was the start of my appreciation of all MB and founder of my imaginary racing team: Rust Bucket Racing (where we're faster 'cuz we're lighter!), home of the racing diesels.

But it makes the berries taste OILY.

But, what about the predicament (not to mention the stigma) of arriving at a Mercedes-Benz™ GTG in a HONDA?

Even with all my whining about my smoking wagon, at least the AC works quite well. How fair is that?
Suck it up and take the Mercedes. It will be cool in the evening, just keep it shaded during the day.
Randy, don't you have to bring the great "manual tranny" wagon. Folks are going to want to see that I bet.

Look out, you need to start watching that prostate at this point in your life!

Gimmee a break. I've seen you drive that Ferguson 5000 around in the noonday sun without even wearing a hat.
