First Drive of the Season
neelyrc:
I returned from Italy a couple of weeks ago and finally on Sunday after having worked off the hottest items on my “Honey do” list, I was able to get to the Pagoda. We had a cloudless 70 plus degree day in Alabama. In the morning I pulled the hard top, checked the fluids, adjusted the tire pressures and took a 15 minute spin around the neighborhood to confirm that all was ok.
After lunch I dropped the wife for shopping and drove about 15 miles to a local car gathering supporting Toys for Tots. Most of the cars gathered were modified Detroit Iron and Street Rods. My car, a W107, and an AMG E63 were the only MBs in sight. After a couple of hours of kicking tires, engaging some of the participants in conversation and receiving quite a few compliments on my car, I made the run back home collected my shopper on the way, arriving just at dusk. Amazing how many shopping bags one can load in a Pagoda with the hard top off!
Looking forward to the next five months here in the deep South with frequent drives in the Pagoda.

Nice to see that gorgeous Pagoda out of its hibernation.

Welcome back! Now you get to balance the front Zoll plate mounting with your new Pagoda Group Badge and see if your rear Zoll plate remembers its original home!

Welcome back home Ralph and taking your nice Pagoda for a spin must have been very high on your agenda :) It is certainly a wonderful car and so much fun to drive.
I drive mine whenever I can and yes also in Canadian Winters. Our winters here in Southern Ontario are mild enough often no snow on the ground. When the roads are nice and dry my Blue Tornado gets a short 15 to 20 KM exercise just to keep everything nicely lubricated.
