John, it is not the arthritis but I need to equalize (shorten) the left leg with the right leg again.  :D

It wasn't the car alone, the driver/owner also wanted to escape any bad weather on his transcontinental route and he arrived already today at lunch time.
No more snow for this W113!  :)
Whoever needs a car transported safely and in style I can certainly recommend this company.

Hi John,
the old MO license plate was a gift from my wife who thought that I was having "the blues" when I turned 66!. Of course, I always thought it fit the car better than me!  :D

Jonny B: take a number!

Iconic: How much did Joe do? Everything except painting.
