Cynewan,
are you completely sure that coffee was the purpose of the meeting? ;D

Here we also meet after some mad driving in our Pagodas for the sake of sipping a coffee or juice. All we talk about is mono-topical: Pagoda, Pagoda, Pagoda.... ;)

Hello Pascal,

I like your photo better like this :) (where did you take it? it's fantastic!).

Edit … oh I missed it you took it at Cape White Nose, France

Rolf, indeed Cape white Nose it was, your French is good enough  ;D

I love driving there, great scenery and with clear weather you can see England on the other side of the channel, what wasn't obviously the case in the picture.
The Blue 230 SL was parked there when I arrived, it was a Belgian as well and I don't know who it is. I just parked next to it and took the picture, walked not to far away so that I could go back and meet the owner. Only they were just gone when I returned. Some other people  told me the other owner just left and that they first took pictures of both before they took off. Never known who they were, a pity actually. It would be fun to know someone with same car here.

Nice one BonnyBoy :) made it part of my Screen Saver

Nice shot too Garry!

Thanks for the follow up Pascal. I meet a few Pagoda drivers in Williamsburg that are not members here. It's always nice to exchange stories how one found and purchased his treasure :)

Hard to  decide... these are probably some of my favorites..... an Informal "Tech Session" was held at my house last year with Pagoda friends. This day the class on "Door Window Adjustments" was taught by Urban Janssen (UJJ)

When I visited the. Factory near Stuttgart in 2009, I was thinking how the factory might have looked like in the 60's without all the robots ... This picture I came across one day and I saved it. It is not my car, however, Assembly line no. 9 (Band 9 in this photo) is now one of my favorite  among my others in my garage :)

Some of you may not have seen this photo, perhaps it is also one of your favorites ....

While I posted some pictures in the beginning of this thread, I think some of my favorite photos taken so far are during my return trip from Williamsburg last September after seeing many fine Pagoda's (47 in all) when I stopped on the Canadian site of Niagara Falls for dinner. It was a very enjoyable weekend  and taking those photos with my IPad was fun.

One of the members in the German Pagode forum made a comment about the large parking spaces, little does he know that it is designed for RV's and the cost for parking there was $5- for 30 minutes :) anyway it was a great place to stop even if the daylight was fading away.
