The last two sound good price wise, are they close to where TT is? TT is looking into the Sportsmans Lodge, what is their park like?

Yah it was that close; I managed to lock the keys in my car right before I left, and waited an hour for Mercedes Benz roadside from the dealer in Encino to get to the Tarzana Inn parking lot.

Used all my brains at once <drips sarcasm >

Could have changed history as I was about to try and buy that car of yours, the 1990 560SEC.

Oh well, wasn't meant to be...I got MR MB to fix up my car, repainted some of it, put on a Remus, just found some nice AMG headers, just keeping the old one.

Hit 125,000 miles last night, but he's running fine, looks nice as ever.

Hope to finally see you this time....

Just asked my agent to see about moving me to the flight out of LAX to SYD on the 3 August which means I can stay the Saturday night which may improve possibilities of catching people up...

Will know tomorrow.

**cyberdrakon** · 06-16-2008, 10:49 AM

I'd love to show up. Set the date!

**420 SE** · 06-16-2008, 04:38 PM

For some reason the flight out on the 3 August is fully booked, so I will still have to leave on the 2nd.

So either the Friday arvo/evening or Saturday morning (or any of the other days I am there).

Is this a W126 only meet?

Inquiring minds want to know....

**420 SE** · 06-17-2008, 05:02 PM

Not at all...

justinwrock · 06-17-2008, 06:38 PM
