interior colors (maroon for Wilton, blue for me). Mine is in pretty
shabby shape, and I'm tempted to try to remove it but would probably not
be too happy with the end result.

Nice cars gents. Interesting, I notice pin-striping on both cars. A
neighbour brought her 420 SEL up here a few years ago, when she moved
from the US. I had pin-striping too. Was this a factory thing in the
US? I don't think I've even seen a Mercedes in a Canadian showroom, new
or older models, with pin-stripes.

300E no pin stripes.

I've had very good luck following a fast runner about 300 or 400 yards

braking and slow down without getting attention from the law. Haven't
had a ticket since about 1989. NC and VA and WDC, on the other hand,
are usually heavily enforced and I watch the speed very closely in
those states.
Here's a couple of pix from our rendezvous; a beautiful blond urchin
in pajamas (picture 2) insisted on asking for a ride in my sexy wagon,
and my Wife let her in! Wilton was jealous - he needs to get a wagon
too I think.
