Haven't been here in quite a while so stopped by to see who was still alive and who isn't. Lots of you are still here. Must be getting to be a geriatric forum. Some new marketing is in order or Peachparts will go the way of way of all of us.

Peachparts would make a fortune selling a w123 car-to-casket conversion kit...now excuse me while I fall back asleep in my oatmeal...

Yeah, still here but not doing much with my old favorite the 123 cars. Hope you are well.

I was just at my neighbor's yesterday (the one with the '62 Cobra recreation) who is president of a local car club and he was lamenting there are no new members coming in and the city had to take over the local car show. He is in his upper 70's.

Good to see you Kerry and glad you are doing good.

I'm wondering if we will ever see the bottom drop out of the old collectors car market when the old timers that had oil in their blood die off?

I was hoping to see some social progress here with pronouns now included in peoples' signatures. Alas.

....And that's a good thing .

Yes, we're all getting older and less spry, I spent my allotted working time this morning cleaning out the accelerator cable tube in my 1959 VW Bug ~ I had to make a tool to clean out the accumulated rust and muck .

W123's are still out and about but the blush flew off that rose a while back .

Glad to hear you’re still alive and kicking. When some people vanish I have to wonder if they have shuffled away from this mortal coil. Carleton Hughes quit coming around quite a while ago. Bot was banned, in a PM at Benzworld he told me that he was happy enough to break the addiction of this place. I know what he means.

Do you remember the cop phobic Husky Man? He was banned some years ago, came back as Merc Lover. A few months ago he abruptly stop posting, this after numerous posts per day for quite a while. Who knows.

The place does seem to be winding down. MedMech doesn’t come around anymore.

^^ I always wondered where Zeitgeist went and why he was banned. He added a lot to the forum.




TD to Imiev is quite a change! You don't see too many of those around.
