Pagoda receives "thumbs up" from Bill Clinton
« on: June 06, 2007, 19:03:15 »
While out driving his 280 SL, a friend here in NY passed the former president on a street corner in Westchester and received an unsolicited thumbs up from the former president. I guess that makes him a fan.

Douglas,

makes me wonder. What was the former president doing on a street corner without a large security detail? Escaping from "her indoors"?  ;)

BTW,

Did you know that there is a huge classic MB fan league in uptown NYC??

I realized a W113 St. and a W111 St., W108 St. and so on
 ;)

Unfortunately, rarely could be seen there any classic Merc.
 :(
Too sad....

Best,

Are you sure he wasn't hitch-hiking to Monica's place??...

I would take the impeached for intern oral president any day over the I have no idea why he is still in office when his administration has lied about much bigger issues than sex president.

Too funny...I forgot about him squirming on that one. He wasn't lying to the country...he was lying to his wife while we watched. Snagged!

You guys are awful. But Bob is right about the Pagoda being an irresistible car ...

Ah.....
the pagoda is a perfect car for Bill. No back seat, but then he wouldn't need that.....

I think it speaks to Clinton's age/generation that he likes the Pagoda. After all, his personal ride is a 1967 Mustang:
