New W123 Club website: W123Club.nl

I am finally finished with the new website for our W123 Internet community in the Netherlands. It took me a lot of time but it’s finally there, the users can all register themselves today and we can move from the old to the new site. The nice forum will probably be the main attraction now, in the future the clubsite will be extended, for example with aテつ galleryテつ with pictures, a link collection, and a technical corner. The club is in dutch an can be found at W123Club.nl.

Taking the 300TD inside

Today I have put the car inside our company hall @ Klasse Klassiek.

I still need to make an appointment for the anti-corrosion treatment and I still need to install the Waterheater.

The weather is getting worse and it’s getting colder, and I don’t want to drive with the TD when they are salting the roads without the treatment.

I am going to drive again with the USA 300TD.

テつ

I’ve put the car away with 63420km on the clock.

Trip to Belgium

Today we went to the south of Belgium. We visited our friend and I wanted to show him my new 300TD too, so we drove with two cars. This was also necessary becauseテつ we took a lot of parts with us.テつ It was a very nice day, and I learned a lot from him about the W123 again.テつ He has so many specialテつ optionsテつ which sometimes can be found on the W123.

He showed us also his W123 Cabrio, which was converted by him,テつ his twoテつ beautiful Mercedes Pontons were also breathtakingly beautiful. We talked a lot and I saw a lot of W123 stuff today.テつ

520km total distance.

It’s getting cold in Holland

Took 135 liters again today from the supermarket. I’m at 62325km right now, and compared to her history it’s hard working right now ;)

I bought it at 58911km, so she did 3414km (2069 miles) in her first 3 weeks with me.

Temperatures areテつ dropping now an lots of rain is falling. I need to put the car away, winter is coming and the TD stillテつ did notテつ undergo the anti-corrosion treatment.テつ I want toテつ to this in the winter but I don’t have time now, I’m really busy. I’ll take theテつ USA 300TD next week, untill I’m finished with the preparations. The Webasto needs to be built in also, and I have to figure a way out with two tanks, because unfortnunateley the Webasto won’t run on PVO.

This weekend Harrie and I amテつ going to visit a friend from the W123 club in Belgium, we’ll have a look at its massiveテつ W123 parts collection.

I amテつ also going to pick-up a complete leather interior for a station W123, mayテつ be I’m going to put it in the Sahara gelber, but I have to think about that.
