[W126 Coupe] MBCOUPES Digest, Vol 88, Issue 1

[Godfrey.]

Hi You All,
I have been receiving this list for about 2 years,only monitoring and 
reading all the chatter.I live in South Africa, in the Eastern Cape. I own a 
1 owner previous 1990 560 SEC Euro,220kwt.Merc.
I was interduced to this site by a friend that owns a SLK155AMG. And allways 
enjoyed it. I have never received any spam on my computor.
I am definatly not in favour of creating a new website, Butt that is only my 
opinnion.
Kind Regards,
Godfrey.

> how-tos and other information that is of interest to 126 coupe owners.

> The "new" mbcoupes.org email list that Steve and I set up IS ONLY for 

> SEC/126 related information.  There is no 500E information on this list - 

> it would be off-topic.

> If you want full access to photographs posted on the 126 sub-board on my 

> 500E web site, you have to sign up for the forum for a free membership, 

> just like with any other web forum.  Full text is available for anyone and 

> doesn't require sign-up, but for photos associated with the how-tos you do 

> have to sign up.  This is TOTALLY OPTIONAL and is NOT ASSOCIATED with the 

> "new emai list" that Steve Nervig and I set up.  The web forum is only an 

> additional resource out there that I made available because it's an easy 

> add-on to the 500E site I have already been running for several years now.

>

> I hope this clears things up.  It seems that people do seem to have 

> interest in the "new email list" and I intend to make a final decision
