PNW meet this spring -- let's set something up
with all this talk of GTGs, I realised I've not had a chance to show off the 280TE. I know there's a huge contingent of W123s in the Pacific Northwest, how do the PNWers feel about setting something up maybe either here in Portland, or halfway to Seattle?
anyone know of a good regional forum/group to post this to?

I am in the process of designing a flyer to build a registery if you will of people interested in doing this. They will be small and laminated to put under windshield wipers of benzes on the street. I think there are way to many people out there into these cars that might not be on the forums. Also, if any of us forum peeps are interested in a meet before spring, i think the parking garages at Montgomery Park would be perfect.

so, perhaps I can use m110.org as a place to drop a regional forum for the PNW? you're right about the huge number of these cars in the area... maybe if we give things a biodiesel slant it will get more of the hippies out to talk cars?

Hello fellow BenzOilers, I no longer have a W123 but will let the fellow who purchased it know about the GTG. If it is allowed I would like to attend with my new to me W126 300SD.
