I see a lot of W123's in this area. What do you think? Chime in if you are interested. I think it would be neet to see a number of W123's at a Waffle House or restaurant. Just to meet some more owners in the area look at the cars, BS, share some information, etc.

That would be neat. There are a fair number of us eccentric Dieselheads around metro Atlanta.

Conyers/Lawrenceville and the like are on the other side of the world from me (believe it or not, close to downtown...) but nonetheless I'll go with the consensus.

Let's do this. I've been emailing offlist with carusle about this. In December I'll be having a holiday get-together at my shop and would love to couple this event with it as well. Nothing too fancy, just a simple time for folks to hang out, enjoy the day and meet other fellow enthusiasts. As it stands I am thinking about the 9th of December. Any thoughts on that?

Also, it seems we should move this discussion to the "Events" section as the "Shops" section is not the most appropriate place for this.

Let's get this ball rolling.

Sounds great, Mat. OK we have a date to conseder. Get on board, add a note, and plan to attend. Who are the persons in these neet W123's I see everyday. If you can attend add a reply. Thanks

My first post, live in Marietta and own a w123 240d. Would like to meet other diesel heads.

Bill

Paul in Woodstock would like to meet also.

If you see a black 300CD going 35 miles UP GA400 :eek: early in the morning and 35 miles DOWN GA400 (and the Connector) :eek: :eek: in the early evening, that is yours truly.

There is no better commuter car to beat back and forth than an old 123. I would run a new car (with a 48-month payment...) into the ground in 3 yrs.

I'm in for a G-T-G.

We have some good turnout so far. The date will be Saturday, December the 9th. Location will be my shop, 270 Arnold Road in Lawrenceville, 30044. As the date comes closer I'll post directions. As of this moment I will be serving light refreshments. Folks are welcome to bring food and what not. This is going to be a casual event. Please RSVP with me so that I will have an accurate headcount to make appropriate preparations. Email me at service@oldworldauto.com.

Mat, do you mind if I come by? I won't bring you know who! But I will bring some steak tartare. :D

I'm in for a G-T-G.I think our paths crossed on GA-400NB a month or two ago - red non-turbo wagon that scooted in front of you from the on-ramp of Holcomb Bridge.

Donna and I will be there.

:cool: :cool: :cool:

Yes indeed, that was I. I remember your wagon. Very cool - small world.

Calendar for that Saturday looks open at the moment. Will see if my wife wants to attend - I hope she does. She loves the CD but doesn't like to drive it on account of being "nervous about driving a Mercedes." :confused: :confused: :confused:

I hope she gets used to it because she will likely be getting one this Spring. :D :D :D

Rusty,

You are quite welcome to to come to the event. I hope you plan on bringing Teri with you too. It would be great to see you guys. It has been quite a while.

Sounds like fun. I should have the 240d painted by next week so maybe I will bring that by.

I will also bring the old digital camera by and post all the cars, peeps and fun that transpires that day and post it on the dieselgiant.com web site.

Should be a fun day.:)

I'll bring the 32v up...should be a fun drive as usual;-)

Jonathan

this only for w123??

Your 190e 3.2 would be quite welcome. Please join in the fun. I'll have my 2.3-16 out for the day and it would be good to have another hot w201 there.

I'll be there in a 126 so the 123 only thing is pretty well out;-)

Jonathan

There will be a neat project car on display - a fresh manual transmission conversion done by Old World Automotive.

Please get those RSVPs in ASAP if you are thinking of attending. As it stands there are over 40 confirmed RSVPs. There will be some very interesting tin to see and even more interesting folks to hang out with. It will be a good time. RSVP @ service@oldworldauto.com
