I'll take a shot at this "image" thing!  (If you'll pardon the pun.)

Mike, did you notice the 5-spd 230 SL on ebay painted in the same colors as your car? The photos were poor, but I believe it's the same configuration:

It looks like a 408/181 duo-tone like mine but it has the apparently standard tan colored interior (can't tell form the pictures if it is Tex or leather).  A 5-sp in a '65?  Sounds like a retrofit!  I thought it wasn't even available until the final weeks of 230SL production, and rare even on a 250 or 280SL!

Just found this one in My Images folder. I think it was a possible 113 T-shirt logo a ways back...

Hello Naj,

Ooops, what kind of grid is that behind the star? I have never seen that before. Something of the air-condition?

All the best,

Hello Achim,
The wire mesh is just something I added to keep out butterflies and stray birds and small stones from the radiator. Now the mousse - thats another story. Not an MB item.

Going to Essen this year?

Here's a nice random photo of a 280 SL on a ferry. These cars look so nice when you put them next to mundane, modern wheels:

Years later, I'm still not bored of looking at them. They are awfully pretty cars.

Japanese cherry blossoms in Washington D.C. inspired a couple of Pagoda images.

Mike,

That first one looks like a sales brochure photo.  You could probably sell it as a poster.  Great job!  And I love your color combo.

A long weekend in England.

Lovely top down driving with clear skies and warm days. Put 350 miles on the car.

This caught my eye on Monday morning

I was doodling about with some of the shots I took at the Tidal Basin in D.C. last month to see if any of them would work as a desktop background.  In Windows XP you have the choice to Tile (which zooms into to the upper left hand quadrant of the picture to fill the screen), Stretch (to make the photo fit the screen, no matter what its original shape may have been), or Center (which zooms into the center of the picture to fill the screen).  Quite by accident this is how one of the shots appeared when I chose Center.  It makes a dandy Desktop background and isn't half bad as an "image," either!

Sometimes the accidental shots are the best ones!

I'm sure I didn't try to do this, look in the rear view mirror.
