 Wow, you guys sure don't pull any punches.

 I founded my little labor of love club because I admire W123's so
 much.  It
 is intended to be a traditional-type automobile club, which with all
 reasonability charges a membership fee.  It's based in STL because I am.
 There are at least a couple hundred W123's still roaming STL today.  It is
 an honest effort to offer traditional auto club community type events and
 traditions in celebration of a very fine car.  I'm just a car nut
 following
 my American dream.  It is what it is, and I believe it offers W123
 supportive and W123 owner/enthusiast services of value and validity.

 Those who have actually have contacted me, joined and experienced some of
 Club 123D have only expressed positive and enthusiastic comments, which
 logically is a distortion to my perspetive of public reation.  Thanks for
 letting me in on the sobering insight.

 However, I don't really like my personal information being splayed out all
 over by whoever posted it.
 Perhaps instead of just investigating and trying to decipher my intentions
 people could contact me and judge for themselves.  It's just a little
 humble
 of a nothing enthusiast club, and not a threat to anyone.  It's not some
 scam, it a novelty.  Auto entusuiast groups meet in America for every kind
 of car, why not W123s?

 Lastly, I'm not a dealer, the limo is not mine, and I think I made it VERY
 clear the car is no gem or bargain.  It is a W123 that someone wants to
 sell
 and I let people who desire as this private owner did to gain free
 advertisement on my website.  I make no money off car sales- no commission
 or anything-

 Feel free to post this email on your forum as my rebuttal- I'd join in
 myself, but I'd only be hocking wares where it seems it wouldn't be
 recieved too well.

 Regards,

 Vince

 I'd have liked to have read what was said to him.

It started with the discussion of a car advertised through
the club web page (I think the stretch conversion 123) and
then moved on to discussion of the club, starting with there's
a 123 club? how come I never heard of it and going from there.

IIRC, some comments were made about the annual membership fee,
and about the choice of judges for the car show. We wondered
who he was, somebody mentioned his first name, somebody else
mentioned a screen name he uses, I put the first name together
with the apparent surname from the screen name and found the name
was published in a phone directory in StLou, that must have been
the personal info that bothered him, IOW his full name. I suspect
that somebody who knew him gave him the address of the archive and
suggested he read it because he and his club were mentioned here.

vince needs to sign onto the stiplin list and we can then bash away 
about what is the proper oil he needs to endorse, which tires are best 
fitted to the w123, why the fuses are never changed regularly in that 
model, and the virtues of turbo over non turbo models.  Along with 
California versions v. other 48 types of car.  Maybe even delve into 
which is better stick or auto and sedan or wagon
