Credit has to go to Jaime, mostly, as he had me
go and inspect a 350SDL back in January. That
got me stated. Then I was talking to Curly
about it, and he piled on. Before I knew it I
was looking to find a nice oneĀ.

Hard to go back once you've had an OM603 turbo, especially in a 126
Now Martha will need to find excuses for more
iron butt ( 1000 miles in a day) driving in this
new SDL. The chowdahheads could be one reason.
Cruisin' the coast could be another reason for a
shorter jaunt.
I used to finish a class at 10 pm in Columbia MO
at 10 pm, get packed up by 10:30 and then drive 8
hours to get home. Much of it on 2 lane roads.
I could not have done it in a lesser car. Still,
it was hard to stay awake.
There were a few weeks I finished one class at
noon, packed up and drove nearly 300 miles on 2
lane heavily prowled roads (55) to get set up for
the class the next day. It is hard to drive an
SDL for 6 hours and stay at 55 or less. I did
get stopped once, but they guy let me off.
The most fun I had was one night I was headed
home, got to the interstate for the last 1/2
hour, and this semi flew around me as I got on.
I stepped on it and got behind him and finished
the interstate stage at 90. The car loved it.
THAT is what a 126 is made for. The truck made a
MUCH bigger target for radar, and evidently he
had his passport.
