312k Finally

Alex has hit the milestone. 312k, and still going strong. Thanks to this forum for all the support and the teachings over the last 57k miles.

I don't remember what that came out of, exactly. I think an early W124, since it has the 4 pin connector, and a short circuit board.

Thats cause his temp screen in his 123 came from a newer car. Either a 126 or a 124.

Awesome! Just over 1300 miles for me to hit 312. Then I race down to the stealer to get my badge paperwork signed.

Congrats! I love the look of two badges on the front of Chase, even though I can only claim responsibility for a little over 3,000 of his 366,000 miles.

From the looks of your fuel gauge, Alex didn't go too much farther before a fill-up.

Congratulations!

Nah, if reading accurately there's at least 100 miles left in the tank at that point, and probably 150 if you push it.

I should hit 312 sometime this year, I am at 307k right now. 100k since I got the car!

Nice. I want to modify the C temp guage to a F temp gauge in my 85 300SD, definitely admiring yours there!

Great job on the milestone, I'm sure it has a lot more left in it. I sold my first Benz with about 300k and it still ran like a champ. These really are great machines.
