You get so much more done with a little help!

Young people talk about living on the edge.  My idea of living on the edge is my 5 year old banging nails into boards 3 feet from my father in law's 911 I restored that he hasn't even seen yet.

That is a little scary.  Mine just had a wet cloth... 

Here is a picture of Andrew at the wheel of the 230 SL.  The picture was with the cell phone ...Kind of blurry...

I was just reminded of a time I spent working in a shop on Long Island
did mechanical as well as body work.  We had a customer who had a really nice collection of Ferrari's and Porsche's but his daily driver was
A new Mercedes S500.  One day he brings the Mercedes to us and the paint is ruined.
There are spots everywhere where all the gloss was gone and scratches everywhere. I asked him if it had been vandalized
And he chuckled and said  " My children wash my cars with me all the time. They wanted to surprise me by washing my Mercedes but it had a lot of sap on it.  They went into the kitchen, got the scrubbing pad from the sink and scrubbed all the sap off the car. "
