Gentlemen,

As of this moment, I am planning on showing up Saturday morning to join the group of R129 owner.

Sorry for not responding sooner. As of yesterday, I wasn't sure I can get back from Portland, OR on Friday of this week or not.

Best regards,

I'd love to come, but I am still stuck without a car in West LA. My sl500 is in Utah with my daughter, who got this car as her present for 16th birthday and I am stuck with a w124 with a blown head gasket. I finally got most of the tools needed and started to work on the car slowly, but I am not likely to finish the job until Saturday. Every simple thing is a pain when you are not working in your garage :(

You and your car can come anyway you want to. But just be there.........and don't be afraid to introduce yourself as several of us already know one another.

Where have you been? Don't see you on the forum or anwhere else. I'm concerned because you were the guy that promoted these events. Now we don't see or hear from you at all.

That's either good or bad news. You must be making a lot of money or license plates???

lynns - SL500
aam - SL500
Barook Agra - SL300

I just came back from the meet, I did speak with Lynn and other members,
we had a wonderful time and a good lunch, with the boys. :)
I wish that we will have more members next time.

Mike a very nice fellow, had the top and seat module installed.
Very interesting stuff, you may want that set up in your car, and a lots of info
from the module representative.

Konstantin came along with top rebuild seal sets.
They are professional made no cheap stuff.
I thought that we have one size for most locks, but Konstantin had many sizes.
Live and learn, I didn't know that.
He is an extremely nice person and very well educated.

Lynn had the parts with him and they are for the rear, well made I may add.
I didn't know that these parts existed, so it is my mistake guys.
Lynn is going to install the springs soon and have the parts installed if needed.
I am sorry for the confusion.
Now that we had the cars side by side I did see that my car seats about an 1.1/2"
lower then his even with the new struts that raised my car up 1/2".
So his car needs to go down, I don't now why there is such a big difference.

Lynn is a very particular to detail person, so his car was the cleanest, shiniest
a black mirror you could see your self from every angle.
And most important, very pleasant to talk too. :)

Regards.
aam.

Kathy is name of the fine looking lady in the last picture.

Sorry, I left and missed the group picture. This is my first time to attend so I didn't know what to expect or what to do next. So, around 2:00 PM PDST we left. But, I enjoyed meeting follow forum members and checking out awesome MBs and few exotic cars.

I have a very slow connection at home. So,I'll post picture I took on Monday.

I was the one with the white 97 with the top on.
