Title: One for the grown-ups...a request for a certain picture
Post by: jameshoward on December 23, 2013, 15:07:44
All this chat about The pagodentreff 2014 calendar; I think it has some good pics in it, and in my view some quite mundane ones. I'm going to put together - at some point - a 20?? calendar of what in my view are the all time great pagoda pics (its just for me, so what the hell...). 

Anyway, one of the most memorable 113 shots I have seen is probably a 60s/70s shot of the interior of the car with a pretty young under-clad-in-the-nether-regions lass climbing out of a car and revealing more than a chap might hope for. (if by now you don't know what I mean, you haven't seen the photo and so can't help). Anyway, my question is, where is that photo? I know it's on the site but despite searching high and low I cannot find it. 

Any pointers gratefully received. And an early Christmas pressie for those who haven't seen it!

Thanks.

Neil,

Thanks!  I've received a few pics by email. I can post a selection of the best.

Looking forward to seeing the pic.

Best,

James

Thanks, Neil, indeed it is. A lovely shot of her instrument cluster.

I think this is a fantastic picture. I wonder what it's genesis might be or when it was taken. Do you know any more about it?

no James, nothing like that happens in my car unfortunately!, I too saw it on the forum somewhere

you now need another 11 similar for your calendar, any in mind?

Niel,

I have a close one for James he can use in his calendar (I can only show a section of the pic here ... I don't want to get folks angry at this dirty old man here) ~grin~

James, I will e-mail you the complete picture, sorry it's a 190 SL I think, still a nice one (bet we can find some 300 SL pictures as well). Anyway, if you do generate a calender put me down as a customer, heck we can still look can we now ~smile~

Re those other pictures, apparently if you look really hard there is a 190SL not a Pagoda ???

Gentlemen
This is the hottest topic of the last days. If we continue this way, not only will we break the record of posts about one topic per day, but we also would get the label of the most chauvinistic forums ;D ;D ;D

BTW:
1. most pictures are really artistic and there is nothing to complain about, I must admit
2. By posting his collection, Artur doubled the number of his posts. Congrats :D

Peter,
Some of these pictures may even contain a relation, as remote as it can be, to Mercedes W113 commonly called Pagoda...

BTW
I bet that individual back-up storage systems have been also filled recently with the said pictures to create very private collections... :D


OK One more, but this time exceptionally decent....

And, then a more historical perspective with Rosemarie Nitribitt...

Look her up to learn the story.

Ah no, John.
She is not Rosemarie Nitribitt. RN was a blonde and owned a black (DB 040) 190 SL, not a white or off-white.
Further, she did not post herself nude ... this was not so common in the 50ies in DE (but more from the 60ies onwards).

Enclosed is a pic of the real Rosemarie Nitribitt with her 190 SL.
She was later murdered and her car is missed today.
Here is her story:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitribitt

and not just as detailled:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemarie_Nitribitt

and here:

http://www.google.de/imgres?imgurl=http://www.express.de/image/view/2008/1/9/650016,122191,highRes,maxh,480,maxw,480,Rosemarie%2BNitribitt.%2BDer%2BMord%2Ban%2Bder%2Bbekanntesten%2BHure%2BDeutschland%2B%2525282569570741%252529.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.express.de/duesseldorf/rosemarie-nitribitt-lagerfeld-fuhr-ihr-traumauto-kaputt,2858,650014.html&h=361&w=480&sz=16&tbnid=W8UPIcygQCzZaM:&tbnh=114&tbnw=152&zoom=1&usg=__jOClZqFPXkmuQfAwMrw-AGJ_BV0=&docid=9ZldG0FOzOgkJM&sa=X&ei=wuLGUoj1E8fMywPQ-oDgAg&sqi=2&ved=0CDQQ9QEwAQ&dur=1567

(please help yourself with the google translator please)

I cannot confirm whether the second half regarding Karl Lagerfeld and RN's 190 SL is true or not ...



RN caused a hard time to the Daimler officials since her ownership put a kind of "taste" or bad reputation onto the 190 SL in general; something that Mercedes tried hardly to shake off from their overall SL image during the later 121042 production years.
This "taste" was only over when the successor of the 190 SL was introduced in 1963 ....

Achim
(not only because of this "story" above, he likes the 190 successor much more)

I think the phrase is, "nice legs, shame about the boat race." At least that's how our Cockney friends might put it.

Plus, I'm never too comfortable about having anything draped across my bonnet - hood if you must - no matter how attractive.

Post by: mdsalemi on January 16, 2014, 13:43:42
We kind of either laugh or ogle at the suggestive or racy photos here, but at the real auto shows, at least in the USA and specifically the Detroit show http://www.naias.com/ most of the automaker's booths are staffed by a group of models, youngish men and women. The women are not much different in dress and appearance than some of the photos showing here, but what you probably didn't know is that they are (not fooling here) all highly skilled and knowledgable about the products they stand before. There's one primary agency that handles this hired talent and there's a lot of training involved. When at the media days this past week with the editor of The Star magazine, we stopped and quizzed a couple and sure enough they had the brains to match the beauty; they most definitely knew what they were talking about. The name of the agency that hires and trains these is called Productions Plus. http://www.productions-plus.com Many of the models, also known as "Sirens of Chrome" travel the show circuit…so it's not a full time job but pretty significant employment.

I would not discard the interesting perspective that the driver of this W100 would have in such a setting.

Are you talking about Neill's reply #3 from 27 Dec 2013 ??
Where s.o. is blocking the view to the beautiful center star of the ivory colored steering wheel's hubpad?

Hard to tell for sure whether that is a 230 SL or an 250 SL (up to serial no. 002979).
The pad on the window crank is black ... that should indicate a 230 SL (up to serial 012466)... :o

Stop cluttering up this thread with nonsense about cars, model-years and hub caps! You should be ashamed of yourselves.

The internet is already full of this sort of thing. It's just disgusting and baseless and demeaning. I, for one, don't want any part of a club that tolerates or promotes this sort of behavior.  >:(

I know the exterior color is not exactly blue like my car (sorry Mr. James bringing the car into this) then on the iPhone the picture is much smaller and she (my wife) will not be able to tell the difference :D

Gentlemen,

1. Cees. how could you miss the mass contribution from Artur that posted this very same photo (and several others) earlier on in this thread? OK, it was last year (31st Dec ;D), but I am amazed that you did not pay acute attention to this gallery by studying every and each of the pictures and by downloading them into your private collection like everybody ??? ;D

2. Same goes to R-D.... ;D. But the way, I have a different message in mind while looking at this picture: which is that if needed, even in its basic version, Pagoda can be more than a 2-seater.

3. Richard S: I think that Mr James's subtle humour wasn't missed, but - at least in my case = the response probably hasn't demonstrated it enough. I apologise, but pliz forgif moi, moi be bladi furner.  ;)

Gentlemen,

Normally I am the person who tells you to scale down your photographs. This time, I would like to say that you should use at least a 1200x800 resolution picture when posting, preferably larger.

Otherwise it's just a waste of space...

 ;D

Peter,
I wish I could source those photos in better resolution, but except for a few, most are just of unacceptable quality. I wouldn't say it is a waste of space, but rather a waste of our high expectations :D A possible solution would be to run a competition where each Member would be deemed contribute a photo of the kind with their own Pagoda :D

Dave,
OK I got that. I suppose this happens when you wear strings made of unpolished steel. Then I wonder how Lady Tatcher's car looked like, since she was called Iron Lady ;D

Title: Re: One for the grown-ups...a request for a certain picture
Post by: Brian in NL on February 09, 2014, 23:12:10
I agree the bumper seems odd, and the license plate is either not an actual California plate or has been photoshopped onto the car. The shape is wrong ... it is too horizontal.
Title: Re: One for the grown-ups...a request for a certain picture
Post by: 49er on February 09, 2014, 23:32:17
The plate is not a stock CA plate for sure. Also the hood bulge looks weird in the 2nd photo. Seeing all the lovely ladies spread out all over those nice soft aluminum surfaces sure makes one ponder if the car's owners were around when these photoshoots occurred.

Jordan, Stan would have an easier time finding good shots if our car was an American made :) then none of us want's that of course. Then who cares about the cars when 75 ladies like this embrace the car ... there is one photo that might pass as a Pagoda ... where the lady can be found in the trunk ... might she be searcing for rust? BTW I've been ordering from the web and insist on UPS delivery in the hope the lady as seen in one of the photos might be assigned to our route ... naturally no such luck ... all I get is some grumpy fellow that asks me ... "Sign here"

This way to 75 of the best as they claim ... ----> http://bangshift.com/gallery/75-best-photos-of-girls-with-cars-gallery.html

Ever notice no Mercedes in those pictures ... here and then a VW or a BMW, no Mercedes what a shame.

To all keen watchers:
Yes, the second flaw was the entire bumper. I did not mean the plate, as in many states you can choose to affix or not what you want (or almost... I think that affixing your mother in law is mostly prohibited)

Jordan
Thanks. But  humbly, I am one of many contributors here and am sure that files in several computers are full of interesting shots. In any case, stay tuned. I still have some left :)

R-D
The exclusive side of this post as well as the difficulty consist in finding the Pictures where after detailed and painful examination some Mercedes car can be discovered. But why don't you start the thread in Other Cars category? :)

BTW. I think that we would contribute better if one day, instead of reproducing pictures of other photographers, we would post some artwork of the kind taken by ourselves (please notice I didn't say: pictures showing ourselves ;D)

This photo was taken by elmer Batters, and on the seats backrest is hand written all in caps first line: TO BENEDICT second line: BEST REGARDS and is signed E Batters

I have it on the inside double page and on the back cover of a book by TASCHEN, titled in french 1000 dessous histoire de la lingerie (1000 undies; the story of lingerie) ISBN, for those interested is:978-3-8365-0507-9

Book came out in 2010, so should be available through your local bookstore.

The photo is taken in a automatic 230Sl, with what seems to be a total of 402 km. on the speedo.

Something strange is happening in the photo, as the transmission stick seems to have disappeared and there seems to be two ashtrays one in front of the other.

Besides that photo, the whole book is interesting!

Best regards,

For those of you that are wondering what is written in the upper left hand corner I shall translate it for you ...

German ... Die Pagode ist ein raffiniertes Doppelwesen. Sportlich und luxuriös, Coupé und Cabriolet, komfortabel und schnell. Ihre kleinen Schwächen unterstreichen ihre große Klasse.

English ... The Pagoda is a sophisticated dual nature Automobile. Sporty and luxurious, coupe and convertible, comfortable and fast. Some little weaknesses underline their great class.

First: you delivered on promises - a rare quality nowadays...
Second: I would not allow myself to comment on the main subject, but in case of any doubt please read the first line again ;)
Last but not least: I trust that there is some more Pagoda to the right and what the photo shows of your car isn't a mere left over of your Pagoda!

Conclusion: please keep on adding more photos of the same, but make sure you turn it right, as you will endanger our necks!

In fact there are plenty of suppliers of such assets. Just open your eyes and look around. So both sources are certainly correct :D. Obviously there must be a premium for original and never used assets rather than second hand, although I also agree with what says the add about the used Aston Martins posted recently by Neil.

Photo 1 to 4 .... One she is thinking about leaving in the garage, two driving out, three making a stop at the stop sign and four taking 5  on the beach ... 

Stan, sorry she is not showing a frontal view (none that I can find) then Mike took care of that very nicely I think :) Have to check the TCM schedule when they play it again, the movie did win an Academy Award or two as I recall.

OK a new week has cometh...

So time for new challenges in this way off topic chapter.

But this time something for our dear Ladies ;D

Here is the background story:
Kamil Stoch is more known as a Polish top ski jumping sportsman. In the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi he won two gold medals, being able to come away in first-place in ski jumping large and normal hills competitions. At this point he also leads the world 2014 championship classification. He is also a serious Mercedes cars' amateur, driving a GLK.
But here you can see a special session with a....Pagoda off course

Post by: Flyair on March 03, 2014, 02:22:32
OK OK... I already got two PM telling me to get back on the right track.
Fine boys, I won't let you get in dismal mood.

Remember Anna Mucha, a Polish actress in one for our Pagodas session last year? No? Really not? :D
Ok here is the tip:
http://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=19096.msg134045#msg134045

Here our Polish Mercedes star strikes again. This time, different style, different class: she honours Pagoda's noble predecessor: the 300SL model.

Ready? Go!!!!

As an afterthought, if you invite Kamil Stoch, my wife might even want to come along...

Kamil is certainly able to relax in any position, knowing that Anna is waiting for him.

However, would that be my Pagoda, gold medalist or actress, I wouldn't care, but would chase them away if they were putting shoes on my shiny chromes :D

As for Anna's pictures, nothing wrong indeed, except maybe that for this thread she is way too much... dressed up IUSWIM ;D

Gentlemen,

(I don't think there are many ladies reading this thread)… I think it is perhaps time to return the "Way Off Topic" topic back to just being off-topic. I know that I have participated and added fuel to the fire by pointing out this thread in a mailing, but I was recently reminded that one of the rules we have on this forum (as listed here: http://www.sl113.org/terms-of-use.html) is not to post obscene, profane, or sexually oriented material. We have these rules for a good reason.

Let's show restraint and keep it tasteful, also in the "Way Off Topic" section.

Post by: Flyair on March 08, 2014, 00:44:13
Peter,

From now on, I would expect that we stop referring to our Pagodas as "She" "Her" etc... This may be perceived offending and derogatory by women and even some men.

So a text that says "This Pagoda is beautiful. I like her a lot" should become: "This Pagoda is beautiful. I like him/her a lot"

BTW, I would expect that Garry tracks all the past posts and amends as appropriate.

Thank you

just wondered which country the registration plate come from.... The car is a LHD, but this may not mean too much...

Those are Norwegian plates as they were used up until around 1971. Today you can still have them custom made for your historical vehicle.

OK a new week has cometh...

So time for new challenges in this way off topic chapter.

But this time something for our dear Ladies ;D

Here is the background story:
Kamil Stoch is more known as a Polish top ski jumping sportsman. In the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi he won two gold medals, being able to come away in first-place in ski jumping large and normal hills competitions. At this point he also leads the world 2014 championship classification. He is also a serious Mercedes cars' amateur, driving a GLK.
But here you can see a special session with a....Pagoda off course
One for the ladies?  Don't assume so much!  But I DO appreciate that out of 7 pages of posts there is one post with a hot guy in it.  Let's see if I can add to the diversity of this HORRIBLY TASTELESS thread that OBJECTIFIES the human body !!!!

Scott,
I would rather assume some other things....:-)... errr.. let's say... since you are in California... you could have made a little effort and provide a selifie of the kind with a Pagoda rather that with a Mercedes ersatz derivative ;D

Besides.... what human body objectivisation? you REALLY got it all wrong... we are focusing on Pagoda here...  :D

English is not my native language; do you mean the girl is custom made in Norway if you have a historical vehicle? Only with Norwegian plates unto 1971? Where can I have such plates?

Keep up, there...!

Actually, I find this sort of thing utterly debasing. It's a shocking abuse of their kind. Wholly wrong, and typical of a certain view point. As someone struggling to re-fit a newly re-chromed grille, no one should ever let the average lady sit on the body work, and especially not near the chrome! Waifs are ok though, it turns out. The fewer the clothes, the lower the all up weight and thus the less likely to cause lasting damage. So, on that basis, semi-clad models are about the limit. 

Drive safe, folks.

PS - Rivalbfo, do a quick search for "certain picture" and almost everything will be revealed... .

Hi Rolf,
for an unknown reason it seems that you targeted me as the demiurge of this thread, but let's forget James, the inception father ;D.
My reputation as one of those European chauvinistic pigs was already reported to me by some of the more subtle and gender sensitive members. So be it...

Coming back to your last post: my analysis is that we have here a late European model, although the upholstery seems a bit tired... ;)

I am sure that centre-fold part of PW is still closely contemplated by many ;D
and for various reasons, I bet...

Title: Re: One for the grown-ups...a request for a certain picture
Post by: Rolf-Dieter ✝︎ on May 04, 2015, 23:19:39
Stan, that looks like a 1968 (I may have looked at blondes with this hairstyle, after all I was already married 7 years at that time, you know what they say about the 7 year itch  ;D). Anyway we are allowed to look as long as we don't touch ... I'm still married to the same fine Lady ... The years do fly by.
Title: Re: One for the grown-ups...a request for a certain picture
Post by: Flyair on May 05, 2015, 00:42:11
Rolf

Blond fräulein can be misleading ;D

I think that it is an earlier year, something around 1963 or 1964. I derive that from the turn indicators' shape that from 1965 were more square on edges. The chromed headlight rings prove that it is the De Luxe or S version. Moreover, the car in the background on the right side is a 600 Kombi (previous model with rounded edges), which points to the year 1963, the only year both models were together in production.

By the way, Trabant 601 was one of the cars with the longest production time (from 1963 to 1991) with 2,818,547 units built with basically the same body and very few refinements.
