Got v good friends who used to live in LF, but they’ve now moved to town. Last visited during the eclipse. Personally, prefer the trip up to Loveless and some biscuits.

The Loveless is on Hwy 100 and I live off Hwy 100 in Belle Meade.  The eclipse was phenomenal from my back yard.   There’s another coming just north of here in two years!

Chris, very nice Pagoda.  I love the colour!  Is it a standard MB 113 color? What is the name of that color, please.

Theo,
Sorry, I'm not Chris..., but just chiming in.

This should be 834H mossgreen metallic. Standard color for all of our Pagodas...

Best,

Yes, it’s Moss Green.  It was red when I got it and I was without it for nearly four years restoring it

Thanks,  I seem to have a "grass is greener" feeling about color.  I love my 113 but do often wish it were other than signal red.
