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.
