Frans' Merc

Today we picked up Frans' new/old Merc. An '81 380SE.
For many of us this is just another car and we wouldn't take a second glance at it.
For Frans this is a long cherished dream. I think that now that he retired he thought it would be the time to get the thing he has always wanted.
Frans is a very down to earth kinda guy. Rough on the outside, you know the type. But never have I seen him pround and happy like this. Even not when I became his son in law... For me this is also a moment I won't easily forget. Such happiness and greatfullness is so rare. It put me back on earth as well and reminds me not to take all that I have for granted. We should count our blessings more often. All of us.

Don't you just love those classic cars.

Just 4days ago I picked her up after tune-up, new points and gaskets. Today I took her on the highway. To my surprise she was driving better than ever, pushin 90mph. 2minutes from destination she started shaking like crazy. Guess something in the drivetrain came lose. Crap!
Maybe its time to get that new dodge or chevy pick-up.
