Thanks for all the info you provided during our chat! Currently working with a shipping broker to start the process of bringing my 66 230 SL down.

Fantastic, PM'd you on some details

Can't think of a better way to tour sydney and the Australian coast than in a Pagoda. Would be great to see your American Pagoda downunder! Plenty of postcard opportunities await you. Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity of late to get the pagoda out there

cheers rob

While it is nice to have ones Pagoda by the sea, I settle for a nice Winery in Southwestern Ontario, Canada near Niagara Falls

RobMarks · « **Reply #184 on:** July 18, 2018, 21:26:42 »

Very Nice. Mine is a few years younger. I take it is that Midnight blue that is some pics look very blue, but sometimes looks like black

A pagoda is always a beautiful site. Just got back last week from Toronto and visited in Dundas, and would have loved to site a pagoda or R107

Would love to see that car of yours with the falls in the background!

Rob, while I love to take a photo with the falls in the background, the problem with that is twofold a) you just cannot stop to do it and b) it’s always wet in the area with spray from the falls. Traffic is very heavy as is tourist foot traffic. I guess early in the mornings like 5am one would have a chance to do it.

Cheers,

Dieter

But it would be a great photo Heh!

Might need a partner photographer in crime and slow that pagoda down driving thru at a crawl

That Lake erie mist though, hopefully not as corrosive as it may have been years ago

Yep my best photos are early morning without other cars in the pic

Just curious as to what they call the color of your pagoda

cheers rob

Well are we getting restless yet! Got my registration back in order at the RTA but The Blue Pagoda hasn't seen much sea of late

Hey Rob,

Good to see you back. We in Victoria are allowed to take our cars out for a drive from Wednesday provided we are back home by the end of the day. if the weather allows i am going for a nice long drive. Been a while.

Hey Rob!

New car?
190 E 2.3-6 ?ß

Best,

Achim
(E320 S124)

RobMarks · « **Reply #191 on:** May 12, 2020, 01:10:02 »

Hi Achim

Its a 190e Sportline. It has had a lorensir treatment in Japan when new and debadged of its sportline. It has that real nice Sportline Black leather interior, but unfortunately it's the 2 litre, but low mileage It belongs to my daughters better half James. He has some interesting plans for it i think I'm becoming a fan of the old "E"s in particular the 500e , the 320e and some of the CE's
Cheers Rob

Hi Gary
Yep need to blow the cob webs out of the pagoda. Bet your looking forward to the new rules, I hear the Golf is back on in Victoria, we have been allowed in 2's. Back before dark or same day? All these rules doing my head in
Stay at home rule , but your allowed 2 visitors, but I ask myself shouldn't those 2 allowed visitors stayed at home, but you can go out for food and shops, but how far away. I'm feeling like a hot dog 40km away in the heart of Sydney at Harry's Cafe de Wheels, and wanta drive my pagoda there, what do you think.
Oh so looking forward to getting back to normal

Enjoy that drive Gary

I have yet to take my car to Victoria, but that Great Ocean Road is certainly on my list cheers rob

Have treated Blue Pagoda's home floor with rustoleum

Garry · « **Reply #194 on:** July 26, 2020, 09:34:34 »

Rob,

I’ve been looking to do this to my new garage floor. Did you do it yourself? i has a horrendous quote to have it two pick epoxied.

Garry

RobMarks · « **Reply #195 on:** July 27, 2020, 11:59:42 »

Yep did it myself. Watched a few guys on youtube doing Rustoleum themselves. Best to learn from some of the disasters of others before you embark yourself. Someone doing it for a living would do a better job, but I'm happy with the result. I have matts for oil collection and for tyres, but have not had to use. It's looks shiny and wet, oil drips just wipe off easily and have not had issues with hot tyre pickup of the coating . Got it at Bunnings, Ending up throwing the paint chips in it for a granite like appearance, wish I threw more chips in it. The chips are smoke and mirrors that obsure any scratched or imperfections. Also put a clear top over top aswell. but it transform our storage area, look like you could eat off the floor

Message me if you want any more details

cheers rob
