Yesterday I took my son and daughter Christmas tree shopping in my 68 W100. My wife followed with my father-in law in the SUV. As we pulled into the nursery the workers were pointing and waving at us. The guys all remembered the truck from last year last. The kids were now celebrities.
Later my wife commented do you know those guys?" No" I said. I said "It's the truck with out it we are just faces in the crowd. Having the old truck truck made us special. "
We nearly lost my Father-in law to a brain bleed three days after Christmas last year. Having him there was great. He is nearly back to 100 percent.
As we left the nursery the guys said. See you next year. I thought maybe next year we could bring the 54 C1. Well I can only hope it will be road worthy by then!! Amazing what you can get from a 12 mile ride.
