[W126 Coupe] new listserv (WAS: PINHEAD)

[Ernie]

Gerry,

I've tried registering several time but either I am fumbling the registration terribly or there are inherent issues with the process.  Can you please get back to me when things are up and running.
Thanks.

The 126 coupes forum is already set up and functioning at the link on my web site (of course, there are other 126 forums at Benzworld.org and mbworld.com too, though the "signal to noise" ratio of both of them tends to be … uh … pretty low).  I only started my web forum  earlier this year and there aren't a ton of 126 folks who are yet registered on the site, but everything is searchable and viewable except for pictures, which you have to be a registered user to see, and the number of 126 folks is growing steadily.
