We have had a week of spectacular weather here.  With restrictions having been relaxed for several days, one of the local vintage car clubs sponsored a cruise in yesterday afternoon.  A beautiful drive followed by a couple of hours of “kicking tires”.  Talk about a change of pace!

No 113s present other than mine but I did find a friend there with his 107.

Indeed a nice day for a ride also in Western Ontario Canada, three Pagodas, a 230 SL, PJ - a 250 SL Hugh and my 280 SL took a ride to
Grand Bend from London Ontario .... note the Social Distances we kept ~grin~

Wishing you all Safe Days ahead, try to get together with Pagoda Frends in your area and take a drive as well you deserve it after being isolated so long in  your home it will be fun, just maintain social distance, it%u2019s okay to stay in a circle 2 meters a art and discuss Pagoda issues, politics and finances :) we did it so can you. Give it a try ...

After being in restoration for 3+ years, I took her for a spin on The Natchez Trace Parkway and have tucked her back in to her new home

Yes, it was a very nice day for a drive yesterday! We did a 175 mile run with our MBCA group.  As per usual, only the one Pagoda among the 15 or so MBs.

That’s a stunning road for a drive in a Pagoda. Shame about the speed limit though. Did you stop for biscuits at Loveless?
