James

Nice runaround. More details.

I like the matching prefix/suffix "H" reg plates.

When I had my red '69 280SL and red '89 420SL, I put a proposal up to Investment Committee on a red '09 SL55. What could have been more symmetrical I thought than to build a vertical of red SLs? Unfortunately, this did not find favour with the Chairwoman of the Investment Committee.

Well James,

so the Porker gets cossetted with a nice warm luxury floor, whilst the poor Pagoda has to stand on cold concrete...

how can you be so cruel to such a lovely elderly lady

Keep well

Paul, 

The carpet is there to save the concrete from all the oil drips getting on the floor from the Porker.  :D :D :D

A mix...

The whole floor is green vinyl tiles
There's a bit of old carpet under the Pagoda to catch whatever comes out and to protect the vinyl floor... Go figure!

AGT - neat idea that I may need to propose to Management.
