Hello everyone!
I am a mechanical engineering student at Georgia Tech and I own a 1980 Orient Red 300SD and a 79 Silver Grey 300SD. I bought the 80 as my first car this spring and the 79 as a parts car about a month later. My family also own a smattering of old Benz, including a 240D and a 190D 2.5 and a few other projects. Build threads hopefully will happen in the future, but school has me hopelessly busy most of the time.

When this post was first started, I checked in, but that was back in march of 2011.  So I'm checking in again. Knoxville, Tn.  1976 280S, one prior owner, 69,000 miles.  Astral silver with blue MB Tex.  If any of you local fellas are in the area, then stop by!  :)  That goes for anyone else that may or may not be passing through, as well.

Checking in from Los Angeles, CA with a 1980 300SD. Very little surface rust leads me to believe it’s been a California car all its life but I just don’t know much about her history.

I’d be interested in a W116 meetup or just connecting with other members in the area. I’m specifically in the San Fernando Valley.

Hello all,

My mistress and I reside in Austin, Texas.  She is much better looking than me -- a 1979 6.9 in 930 silver-blue over blue leather.  There are not so many 6.9 owners in Texas!  I have never seen another on the street.  Heck, W116's in general are pretty thin on the ground here.  You see a tired old 300SD occasionally and that's about it.
