Essen visit

[Rodolfo]

Hi,

last year I saw some people at Essen, I was there together with Erik Van der Cruysse.
This Saturday I will go to Essen with Natasha.

Somebody else attending the show on Saturday?

best regards, Rudy

[Rodolfo]

I notice I mentioned Natasha. So I think I should show who is Natasha. It is the person next to the 230 sl.

regards, Rudy

"Bratwurst mit senf" is part of the couleur locale. You cannot go to a fair in Germany without that. Maybe with a weissbier next to it, of course.

Below is the translation of the opening text (by Google translator not always perfect)

Europe's largest trade fair for classic automobiles was opened on Wednesday by 14 clock .
In a tour of the exhibition on 28 March is me noticed the rather high price level of dealer booths.

For around 100,000 each , - € I had a top -looking Mercedes -Benz W100 or VW T1Bus can buy. I bought the event, none of the two: The Mercedes 600 would not fit in our garage that had not got a Volkswagen Bus Automatic for all the money ;-)

Mercedes -Benz had presented in Hall 2, more than 30 racing cars on a high shelf. It was after all, to celebrate 120 years Mercedes motorsport history .

Of course, the Mercedes -Benz SL PAGODA Club Club stand was to be found in Hall 2 . After the two gems in the last year , the pagodas No . 1 and No.14 , was a strongly entrained by a garage fire 230SL the focus of numerous audience this time .
Also our club shop was very busy again this year. Parts, tools , Winschott very many of our technical maintenance and repair manuals sold over the counter .

The technical documentation we sell for years for 5, - € , buyers have reported that these articles on the internet for 15, - € and more are sold. Well, he prefers equal to the SL Club Pagoda.
