I note that the 123 Forum is the leader (by sheer # of posts) among the Special Interest forums, and one of the top ten MBCA forums. Our members are stalwarts of the Diesel Discussions forum as well.

I believe it has a lot to do with the CHARACTER of our machines. There's nothing sweeter than the purring of that five-cylinder heart. I don't know if 123 forum participants have more fun driving their cars, working on their cars, or blowing hot sooty air on the forums!

I dared Don Swinford (Chairman and Founder of the 123 Character Club...all drop to one knee when his name is mentioned) to post a digital picture of his beloved Donka II...let's see if his tinkering skills extend to photography!

Beep, Beep from the cold, wet southern New England...

Hey Skip, I see a 1985 300TD wagon with 107k miles , one owner on ebay near you up in rhode island. It looks good.
Aside from the character of the 123's there are also the shear numbers of them !

I want to get a W123 sedan and stuff a new OM628 engine under the hood (V8 Diesel from Germany). What a sleeper that would be.

G.G.;
You hit on my second hoby that is fotagrafe.
Should I us my Blad or my Lieca, maybe my Retina Lagre C.
I have a View 2 1/4x3 1/4 Lienhof as well.
As you notice I prefer Germanic Cameras except for my Blad but it's lenses are Zeis.
Teach me and I'll post Donka II's picture.
Happy trails Beep Beep from The Spiderman on The Gulf Coast, Don:p :p :p

but here's what I think you should do:

take some snaps of Donka with one of your fancy Teutonic cameras (I usually use a cardboard disposable meself)

go on down to the photo shop and have them develop the film onto a CD (get a reference print sheet as well so you know which shot you'd like to post)

then go to the MBCA Forums and follow the instrux for uploading

I'm certain a man of your talents could manage...

Hey Tom, will that OM628 fit in my '83? I would like to see the faces of the SL owners when I almost match their times on the track. I could dream can't I ???????

Congrats on your appointment to the Officers Position of the one and only 123 Character Club.
