[diesel_mercedes] Re: Desert Trip

 

I lived in Houston for a while, in the early 70's.
Winter wasn't half bad, aaah summer, it was miserable, even at night.
Now Galviston and all the way down the coast to Mexico, that is real nice.
Cheers,

Re: [diesel_mercedes] PAP Visits

 

"Those old w123 diesels just don't end up in the junk yards as frequently as the w126 gassers - must be a story there somewhere."

Yeah: They're pretty much all gone now....

Remember when W108s were still pretty common at the P-A-Ps?  At that time (late '80s, early '90s), W116 and 123s were just hitting the yards, and you couldn't touch a used 126 for less than $5-grand.

Yesterday I went to the Ontario and the Pomona PAP's in search of a w123 passenger door handle so I can just switch my lock. There were over 25 w126's (almost all gassers) and other assorted MB beasts, but not a w123 in the bunch. Today I will swing by the Monrovia / El Monte PAP.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Desert Trip

 

It's super nice now. High 70's daytime and low 60's at night. 

It's in August that you don't want to be here.
