I was out driving with a friend and he took this video.  Lets see if the link works.

Brad, You know in your heart you cannot sell your W113.

You're right.  I have been driving it and I think I don't want to sell it.

Glad to see you are hanging on to your Pagoda. Wise decision.

Brad - I'm so glad that a drive in your Pagoda has rejuvenated you and your love for her.  I was telling some folks just today that these inanimate assemblages of metal, rubber, plastic and leather we take care of are truly living breathing creatures that need to be exercised, just like the family pet.  The more you run them the happier you both are.

Lucy and I put 193 miles on our 230SL today just going to and from (by the twistiest, most deserted roads possible!) an MBCA Greater Washington Section picnic at a regional winery.  Drive 'em 'til the road wears out!

Thanks everyone! ;D  I'll keep driving on nice days.  For right now nothing on the car need immediate repair so maybe I'll schedule my own repair before the end of the year.  I'm just not ready to go in for surgery again... :(

Brad,
I saw your "for sale" thread was closed, but I didn't know if that meant you sold or you are keeping.
Congrats on your decision.
Once it is gone, they usually don't come back.  ;D

Brad, your only 3 1/2 hours away from Joe if you need to have some work done. It would be a good exercise for your W113.
