Finally back..
At last, there we are again. Our fun trip turned into a bit of a hell. But, we are back, and I’ve GOT THE CAR! And wow! What a pleasure to drive in. So solid, so nice, so decent, so, so, ah, like I said; I’m in love again.
The last real Mercedes Benz, cars that are built to last, cars which have a nice design, are pure quality, nice chrome instead of plastics. It’s all 100 percent a Mercedes Benz. And such a nice state the car is in,ﾃつ ﾃつ I’m so happy now!
However, like I said, the trip was an adventure in itself. We left, and the journey out was all okay. We only arrived a bit late, so we were there in the evening. I wrote the whole adventure already in dutch, and I need to translate it to english some time. You can find the dutch article here, and even if you can’t read dutch, the pics areﾃつ reason enough to check it out I hope.
Thus, I am not writing it down again, but in short, it took us 24 hours to drive back to The Netherlands. Harrie’s car broke it’s belt, we stood still for 5 hours, had to sleep in our cars, were in a fight with replacement belts, oh well, we’re finally at home.
Anyways, the Benz is great. It’s marvellous how this car is cared for all these years. The car was owned by the WDR all the time and used for film editing, and drove only small tracks, and that’s why it is equipped with a waterheater, so they always had a warm car (and a warm engine). They sold it via an auction and the seller whichﾃつ bought the car at the auction was selling it again because he thought the car was too slow.ﾃつ He wanted to use this car forﾃつ towing his other classics to oldtimer shows.ﾃつ
This saharagelber drives like new, compared to my other car a bit too new, it’s just a bit more stiff, and the interiorﾃつ is aﾃつ bit creaky,ﾃつ like a new car.
It passed the 59000km on the way back, that’s approximately 35750 miles. I told her she now may drive a lot more, the coming decades, at lastﾃつ she may begin her real lifeﾃつ nowﾃつ
