Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like almost all of the W123 OG's are gone. This sub forum used to thrive, now it seems like it's dying. Interesting because peachparts is still thriving.
I have had a renewed interest in reading this forum within the past 2-3 days.
I do have a few questions that I actually have written down on a list - but I plan to do some more searching of old threads before I post the questions... I'm pretty much finished doing that so I may introduce some new threads soon.
Was not here for that, but I rather like the layout here compared to Peachparts. Dividing up categories by chassis, instead of category makes better sense to me.
I'm still around but haven't been doing much with my W123 for the past few years. I haven't really been that active on any of the forums for about a year or so. Not enough time anymore between work and my kids activities.
I joined this forum last Feb when I bought my 123. I had been fairly regular on the w126 side of the house. I was disappointed to see that the level of participation here, was less than that on the 126 forum. And that was before the password debacle. I just replaced my laptop and it took me several tries to get yet another password changed to hang around here.
I've posted several (admittedly stupid) questions here and on Peachparts and have gotten much more traction there.
I'm still around. Just been really busy lately. My 300D is pretty much driven on weekends or after a few weeks. Haven't done much to it. Not any real "adventures" lately either.
still around, mostly posting adventures on mbturbo.com thou,
But the use of 123 has declined, sold my ManillaBeige daily w123 (the one with the om602 turbo) and bought two w201 (one om602NA and one m111 turbo) and had some extra cash besides that.
right now in the end process of work on the diesel w201, and its supposed to be a good daily al year round (what i used my w123 as earlier)
still got some 123s around, so regularly pops by this forum, and will be taking on some projects further on
Number of reasons I haven't been here. Just been busy with life, password shenanigans wacked everything up and I don't like to visit with my computers in this place. I picked up a few viruses here in the past with all these ads they run here. Even my iPad runs slow here for some reason.
Not only password problems. Restoring a 72 Chevy K10 now, so have been spending time on a chevy truck forum. NO, problems logging on, posting pictures, computer locking up, etc. Makes it hard to come back to Benzworld, which runs slow, and locks up my computer. Thought it was my computer, until I started visiting the other site.
Anyone having trouble with this site or any other site due to ads just needs to install uBlock or AdBlock. You'll forget the internet ever had ads on it.
@nutz_4_benz, off topic, but I can't get passed the homepage of your site w123gassers. Owning a 280TE would love to get use from the site! Got some high idle issues!
Because most of the cars are dead. The newest car is 31 years old.
