Nice 8)

Yes very nice. One of my todo destinations. What colour is your car (050, 717)? It looks like there is a bit of an ivory tint to the white. Maybe it is just the lighting.
Lots of snow here at present and it is really blowing today so I will have to wait awhile longer before I can go for a nice drive. :'(
-
its G 717
The snow is gone here. Now i hope of some sunny days in the next weeks. I restored the HT two years ago and i like it to drive the coupe in winter.
But driving open in summer is the real thing. 8)

Looking at you photos sure brings back many memories from the years I was there with my 280sl (050)
We enjoyed the photos. Thankyou
-
Peter, Great photos! Your SL sure looks right at home on it's drive along the Mosel. We are taking a cruise from Trier to Nuremberg later this year and are very much looking forward to revisiting that beautiful part of your country. Wish I could bring my SL along.

I'm sure those photos would make Otto Torwelle, my grandfather, weep with joy!

I've been to the Mosel a couple times and I think it's the most lovely travel destination of all. What a blessing to have a Pagoda in that setting! Thanks for posting. I hope I get the chance to visit again someday.
-
I was wondering if the 2012 European Event should be somewhere around there.... Wine, countryside and not too far from Stuttgart....
-
Tosh,
It's going to be hard to top the location that Peter and Cees found for us last year. But the Mosel would be one to consider. A couple of years ago, BK and I attended the auto show in Essen, drove south to the Nurburgring where I ran a few laps, and then continued through the Mosel and on to Stuttgart. Along the way we spent a night in Beilstein and diverted to have lunch in Luxembourg just to say we had. The Mosel is a lovely drive with a few interesting little side roads. Would Trier be a good place to consider visiting on a Mosel Valley weekend?
-
I think the Middle Mosel between Bernkastel and Cochem is the best place. :) I live there ;D
There is not so much traffic on the streets, old towns and endless vineyards on both sides of the river.
I hope i get some time to make more pictures.
www.neumuehle-enkirch.de (http://www.neumuehle-enkirch.de) here is my webside. I will be happy if someone visit me on his next mosel vacation. We drink a glass or two mosel wine and have a good time. 8)

Hallo
today Naj his brother and friends visit me in Enkirch. Naj drives his brothers 380 slc and his friend an 280 sl.
We had nice 2 hours with talking and also for a little trip around Traben- Trarbach.
But i think those two cars are not original... the steering wheel are on the wrong side... ;D

Today John and his wife visit me along a mosel cruise in Enkirch. We had only 2 hours before the ship is leaving Traben Trarbach. So we make only a short sightseeing tour and drink a glass wine..
It was nice to speak with a man who lives 43 years with his pagoda... and his wife.
John, hope i can meet you in California next time.
Peter
-
Nice to see members from all over the world meeting up!
-
My wife and I were so happy to meet Peter and his family. It was truly the high point of our trip to Germany. His pagoda is beautiful and I only wish we had more time so we could have gone for a ride In his 280SL in the beautiful contyside around his home. We are already planning a driving trip to this part of the world so we could spend a night or two at his hotel. What a place! I took a few photos as well and will post when we get home in September.
Thanks again Peter, it was a privilege to meet you.

Ah yes, Trier to Bernkastel-Kues drive... schoen(?) The bear fountain-still there? Was there in the 70s. Very problematic area. Believe I caught the Mercedes contagion on the banks of the Mosel. No known cure for the ' Benz disease'.
-
We flew home from Munich (magnificent airport by the way) yesterday, arriving back at our home here in California late last night and am still in bit of a fog adjusting to the 10 hour difference. I wanted to post a few photos of Peter's beautiful SL and thank him again for the hospitality that he offered my wife and I on our recent visit to that part of the world that Peter calls home.
John
PS Peter's was the only Pagoda we saw during the 4 weeks that we were in Europe. The closest was a very nice R107 with it's top down in Oslo.
-
Hello John

Hi, John,
The Pagodas were busy - making their way to Berlin Templehof. MB's 125th Aniversary :-* :'(

Hi Naj
is the last pic the "Neckar Pagoda" who was found some years ago in the river Neckar near Stuttgart ?

We were supposed to be in Berlin Sept 8 but the ship couldn't make port in Warnemünde (where we would have caught the train to Berlin) because of rough seas. I would have died and gone to heaven if I ever saw that many Pagodas in one place:-)

Hi, John,
The aniversary event took place at the last weekend of August.
There were quite a few more Pagodas spread out as cars were parked by Country/Club.
Hi, Peter,
Yes, it is the 'Neckar' car. It was on the Pagode Club display. They brought it to Essen a few years ago.
