I'm back :)
« on: June 21, 2018, 22:39:23 »
It has been a while!  I put my Pagoda in storage for the last several years but have finally made it back.  I took "Natalia" out the other day and freshened her up with new fluids, filters, plugs, oiled the cylinders, flushed the brake system, etc etc and she fired right up, and then I promised never again to leave her alone for so long  ;D 
Then we ventured out for an all day wash, wax, & shine.  It is great to have her out and about again!

Also thank you to everyone contributing to such a great Tech Manual!  I have spent many hours lately refreshing my small Benz brain  ;D

It is also great to see familiar as well as new faces here as well!
Just dropping by to say hi and Aloha!

Thank you Dieter! Great to be back. 

We have been around the world together starting from Naples Italy in '79 to New York, Colorado, Georgia, and to Hawaii.  Originally my father's car that I first learned to shift with on the streets of Naples and sometimes relegated to sit sideways in the back on family outings (Not even a kinder seat to be found)!  Finally mine for the last 18 yrs.  She's a keeper!  ;)
