Congratulations Larry and Norma .... Well Done!

I know how that feels :)

I now own my car for just 2 months and already was awarded First Spot at two Mercedes car shows.



Here is my little pride and joy. She has a few issues under the bonnet, nothing serious that the Benz Dr. cannot make right :)



This was given to me in June on Fathers Day weekend ... I was very surprised.



This one during a annual Mercedes-Benz Club of America (Toronto Section) again I was stunned.

I don't think I deserved it since all I did clean the white wall tires and remove a few finger prints :) the car does deserve it having been locked up in a american car collectors garage for the past three years or so.

EDIT ---> Of note is the car has seen only about 4,300 miles in 20 years (not a good thing I know) and since I found her I've already driven her over 1,200 miles now. I bet the car must be thinking (if she can) finally someone that knows I love to be driven :)

I'm glad I have a white Pagoda, but gosh our cars look great in almost any colour. Way to go Larry and Dieter.
