Rodd and the board,

I received my copy today. Wow, what an improvement of quality with those color pictures and nice printing. Thanks for the illustrated article on the Pagoda paints.

Tis a great idea, well done to the executors. A really excellent article

However, if you're looking for an example of 334G (p9), you could do worse that look at P17?

;¬)

Any chance someone could send a copy of PW to Carsten Ohlinger at Mechatronik - or send me one to forward to him. Thanks

Just received my copy of PW July 2007. It will be a hard issue to top. Pagoda World keeps getting better and better.

Rodd and the board,

Just received a copy of the new Pagoda World.
My thanks & kudos to all involved. What a great improvement in quality & content.  The photographic representations of original
MB colors are some of the closest I have seen to the real colors we see on our cars. Interesting article on the overdrive system and
the Mechatronik Method of Modernization. Keep up the good work.
It is a Pagoda World.

Rodd,

Congratulations!!  The new issue of Pagoda World is indeed another fine achievement.  What a beautiful cover photo!!  

The photos of all the different colors are great to have, and make one nostalgic for the days when cars actually came in beautiful colors.  I particularly like the 268H dark green one :-)

Thanks for your kind words, everyone!  Remember, it's not possible without the contribution of the members of this Group.  You need to thank the authors of the articles more than you do me, I just toss it together in a presentable form and get it printed.  OK, it's a little more detailed than that, but nothing happens without material and that all comes from the Group members.

So, keep submitting ideas, information, articles, and pictures to:
Jon Bernardi - Pagoda Notes
Rodd Masteller - Pagoda World

Thanks!

Yes, all international mailings happened Aug. 3.  All North American mailings happened Aug. 7.  I assume those going to Australia would take the longest to arrive.

Hey Rodd,
It arrived yesterday.
What a professional production!
The Becker article was very informative.
Thanks
