looks good. nice height as well. not too low, not too high. are you considering rims, or gonna keep the 15 hole alloys? when i was in high school my mom had those rims on her 300E and i had them on an 87 300D i drove. those little holes are a pain in the @$$ to clean.

i drove a 1983 300CD in high school and the rims on the W123's were much easier to clean than the W124 rims IMO.

Yeah, getting new wheels soon. Not for a couple months though. Love how your family has such a history with the 124's. lol Anything new with your car man?

Cool cool. Thirteen people so far. Ok, a few things:

1. Sorry to see Lady Wolf go, I wanted to see that burgundy E55, maybe next time.

2. I've be amiss for like two days, had a wedding to attend. I could have wasted my time in more amusing ways.

3. Why is there still doubt of my vehicles around MB? Are some people REALLY this dumb?

4. Can people stop trying to suggest meets elswhere and make them go elsewhere-- this is a "cruise" not a "show 'N tell" old cars and such. I wanted suggestions on what we should do-- not where we should meet. The meet is at Fashion Island-- and thats not changing. Sorry. Anyways, if anyone else would like to meet elsewhere, feel free to start another thread suggesting that. Thank you. As for the car show down there, Im sorry, but its too early.

So, with that in mind, I would like to thank everyone who has this thread in their sigs, and would like to ask THOSE individuals if they may check the link, for some reason after some time the link no longer works and needs to be updated, thank you.

Oh! Nearly forgot, WAYPOINTS are suggestable.

Best Regards,
John

There are some classic Benz there...If we're lucky we might see a gullwing 300SL!
If y'all'in take hold of the Crystal Cove idea, I'd show up for that portion of you'all's otherwise very-long day

Well, if things are on schedule it should be being built as we speak! I am very excited about this even if Wolf has done his best to ruin my choice of color for me!

Crystal Cove has a Starbucks, a nice sandwich place, a Banana Republic, and best of all...Saturdays have a regular auto show where people show off their Ferrari's, etc.

Just a thought...

Thanks to you and SleeperZZZ for info on this. I've always thought this p.lot was just being wasted with its incredible view and hardly anyone there, usually, to see it!

I'll be there this Sat, Mar 26, before the Meguiar's car thing in Irvine. Do either of you guys know if it starts at 7 am, or earlier, and do they advertise this anywhere?

Thanx Can't wait!

Hi Lisa,

It might be as early as 6:30 but I'm not sure. I can't find any solid info on the web about it.

If anyone else is interested here is the link to the Irvine Company page on the Crystal Cove center.

Yes, I'll be there at 7 am (hopefully), before heading up to Meguiar's in Irvine by 8:30, when that car detailing day starts

Are you going to either?

Which meet are you talking about? Apparntly this f**kin thread is now split in two meets. You have to be more specific. If its for the REAL meet on June 11th, let me know, if not, take it to PM.
