Belated 57th Birthday drive
« on: October 21, 2025, 18:33:42 »
 Our SL turned 57 in September but we didn't get out for it's Birthday drive until this past Sunday. Beautiful day and always fun to be kids again reminiscing all the years we have been together (49) and the enjoyment and memories this car has giving us.
