On the Ferry crossing Vistula River
« on: June 25, 2017, 07:37:37 »
Just another perfect day for Pagoding
This time my Pagoda took its first off crossing Vistula on a little ferry. The whole trip takes 2 minutes, but you feel like in another world, outside the city's harm and noise...

Very nice pictures In a tranquil setting! Thanks for posting Stan.

Is there a story that goes with the passenger side mirror?

Ralph,
thanks,

not sure about the passenger mirror question. This is one of the latest Pagodas, so it was fully loaded with many options, some of them became probably offered as incentive to liquidate the stock before the W107 was out in the market.

Perhaps just my ignorance Stan.  The passenger side mirror seems to be bulkier than the driver side mirror and different from those I have normally seen.  I was wondering if it was a "one off" special.

Ah, it must be some kind of photo flaw... The mirror is just what it should be. I will take another picture of her other profile soon to illustrate that the old lady has the correct pedigree  :)

I looked at the pictures on my other computer and zoomed in close. I think it was the light reflecting off the chrome that made it seem out of proportion to me.  I am sure all is in order!🙂
