OOOOOO, no, no dilemma at all. We are extremely  up here! Getting old is something else. Heading for Reno as soon as winter breaks, max

Well then Max ;

As long as you're happy with it , there's no real dilemma is there ? .

All we can do it be the best caretakers of these fine old Machines as long as we can , once we're gone that may well be the end of things .

I wish you weren't so far , I'd drive up to have a looksee at your dead wagons , I always need something .

These cars are hard to sell for what we would want to get out of them. Nobody wants them anymore. Get used to it. We are a dying breed. Common sense and logics have nothing to do with it. I think I'll just run both of mine till they die. most likely they will outlast me tho.The world has changed, very strange place now. Just got back from a trip to Sacramento, Reno and Lost Wages. So glad to be back in the NE corner of this state. But planning my next venture south. It will be in the 123- 4 spd, trying to stick to back roads. max

[diesel_mercedes] Nate's Dream (or Nightmare)!

 



Mark you naughty boy ! .

That's a cheap one for sure , prolly needs a new # 22 cylinder head atop it's OM603 engine , steam escaping is very bad indeed .

I'm trying to resist buying any more cars as my yard is full of dead ones right now .

I did enjoy driving my SLC Coupe but the 123 Coupe is better suited to my needs I *think* .

Mighty tempting this one is .

My wife wants to get rid of our 2 w123 300d's and get a new fancy schmantsy rig. She doesn't understand that I have 40 years worth of tools and hundreds of replacement parts that would go to waste if we did that. I might have to rent storage space somewhere to hide the cars just so I could work on each MB. Now, that would be something she would not understand at all.
