the R107 is Kritsa from benzworld. she got alot of info about mechanics to look over her car from teddy, the guy with the 420SEL. she just bought hers last week.

anywayz, wish we can see more of these classic in the future meet
btw, post more pics!!! hah

I think they give a nice sense of community to us owners of newer MB models.
I hope we can really hype up their presence in future meets. Need to get Patrick and his W123 back in line too !
Fun to see the W202's show up as well !

W123 is absent for now
Carlos, yes I suck! 
Doug, I wish I did attend. Too bad I'm having the car repaired at the body shop.
Ran into an accident a few weeks ago and hopefully it will be ready for the next meet. Of course it will be cleaned up as before, after the repairs I dread all the dirt and dust but I hope it turns out to be ok. Might have to skip the Meguiar's too.
With the new radiator and thermostat hopefully I can now catch up with you guys running 110mph without the temp soaring to 100 deg C
Will save up for the Euro's, if I decide on them. Or will replace old headlights with new bezels. Anybody care to make donations too?
I'd definitely attend the next one if my schedule permits it. And it's just 15 minutes away south of our place here in Anaheim (the SoCal Euro Meet @ Katella?)
Are there Filipinos here? Pretty interesting to see kababayans as well at the next meet.

W202 owner
Thanks man for the remark. I am the owner of the white w202 (c280) at the rosebowl meet. My name is harout and my cousins car is a c230 compressor not a c280. I liked all of the cars at the meet. I didnt even have time to wash the car. lol. I am actually selling my car to get a newer benz so if you know anyone that is interested let me know.

Doug, what happened to your username?
I'll make sure to clean the diesel injector tubes too, we could use that as a frying grille
Anyway, I'll be picking up my baby tomorrow. I hope they did a good job at fixing the body damage. Also be receiving some parts thru UPS (headlight bezels, etc) and install them within the week. Went ahead with US DOT spec lights for now. After the accident I couldn't risk spending $240 per pair of Euro's. Well, maybe next time.
Should be decent and in good working condition by mid-Nov.
EDIT: Sorry I skipped a few posts. Guess that's MB World's way of saying Happy Halloween?

Finally got the car and installed the parts I bought for it.
No Euro's yet, but new headlight bezels and grille. And some other small tidbits. Car looks OK but still noticeable when you really look. I hope to gradually fix it myself as the weeks pass by.
Glad it's fixed already. Did you give them candies?
