I was just joking about MixXxing's comment about having a long winter ahead of us. I'm getting pretty sick of Seattle weather.

And Mark. C'mon now, you're not exactly driving on racing slicks here dude! It's not going to snow, so the worst you'll get is rain. Are your tires really going to give you that much trouble in some rain?

It is a long drive from Vancouver though.

I don't feel like risking it, sorry fellas....I am very particular these days about the weather I take her out in. I can afford to be that choosey since there are cabs everywhere.

Hey now!
Maybe a spare bare-bones Enzo would help keep your roll on!

Sorry to jack the thread, just had a question.

Where do you guys in the Seattle Area service your vehicle, or do you do all your own service? Do you have any shops you recommend?

My name is Alonzo. I stay in Renton.

I need a major tune-up (oil change, oil filter, fuel filter, trans fluid change & filter, spark plugs, cap & rotor, Radiator flush & fill) & whatever else he thinks i need as a major tune-up. The car runs fine but i don't know the maintenance history so i just want all of the tune-up stuff done.

Also i need all struts/shocks & springs replaced.

Stay away from the dealerships, find an independent Mercedes mechanic!

This is my mechanic, he drives/owns few W124's, including CE and sedan:

Strictly Mercedes (owner/mechanic Victor)
1409 NE 80th St, Seattle, WA 98115,
(206) 524-0122.

There are some guys on 190revolution.net trying to get something together. Right now it is just a whole bunch of indecision on the location, but there's quite a few people interested. I suggested bellingham (as always) becuase we could get a plan going. But it sounds like most of the interest is in the seattle area. So just a heads up, we're thinking early march. I'll repost when I get some concrete details.

Oh man I hope it's really early March like before the 5th. I'm headed up to Alaska again for a while this time. It'd be cool go to a meet with a non-stock 260E

I suggested Whidbey Island as kind of a mid point for everyone. But I think it will fall through. The 190e crowd seems to be much less decissive than the w124's if you ask me

Where would you guys like to meet? If we are all in bellingham then maybe we could just meet up for a quick run down chuckanut one day and shoot some pics along the way? Ben? kwb210??

We should shoot for Bellingham, close enough for the BC people and close enough for the Seattle people.

Good idea, Rik and Ari !

I like Chuckanut - how 'bout lunch at an oyster house?

Good and close. I'd like a drive and photos. Perhaps we can stage some drive-bys and action shots? Those were popular last time.

Feb 28th ???
