49 years young
« on: September 19, 2017, 16:30:43 »
 Yesterday was our SL's 49th "Birthday". We celebrated with nice drive in the surrounding countryside. Car ran as good as it did when I brought it home from the dealer and car looks good as new. The driver is certainly showing his age but young at heart when I am behind the wheel. What fun it is!
