..here's my 64 sitting at a small GA Airport south of ATL. 
100LL is priced quite reasonably here and I've been running it in my 230SL...

This is my new favorate taken last July when we took a tour of a Winery near Niagara on the Lake in Ontario organized by the Mercedes-Benz Club of America Toronto Ontario Canada Section (shortly after this photo was taken I removed the hard top and enjoyed the rest of the summer without).

....leaving on my annual trek to Italy in the next few days.  Back for PUB in September.  Today was the last outing of my driving season.  A hundred mile round trip run in lovely sunshine to my brothers lake home.

Taken some years ago, but still my favorite shot. Taken in the early morning when the car was just placed at the Meadowbrook Concours d'Elegance, now known as the Concours of America and at a different location.

This photo of my car was taken ( I was unaware) by a professional photographer in the south of Portugal. By coincidence a friend  saw it in a photo exhibition and told the photographer that he was the ex owner and a friend of the current one. The photographer, whom I never met, had the gesture to send me a 30x40 cm framed copy. This is my iPhone shot of his one.
