I assume you have driven the road that follows the coast to Klinemond (sp?)? That is a great road. We landed there several years ago to visit my sister in-law's parents in Klinemond They met us at the airport and we rented a car to follow them to their house down that road. Her dad was over 80yrs old and I had a hard time keeping up with him on that road. He is one crazy driver!!!!!! Welcome to the group, Russ

OUCH!!!! I feel your pain.

Don't forget the Midwest Se7ens Gathering right next door in Gore OK on the 6th-10th of June. There will be lots of Se7ens there. Russ

Wow that is cool. I can't believe he did that with all that traffic. Russ

Almost looks like a British Ford Escort mk2 or maybe a Cortina. The lower ball joint looks strange though compared to mine. Russ

The W196 story is pretty much as suspected; here are a few more details to add. It was in fact loaned to the Donington museum in 1956 (or National Motor Museum, Beaulieu) by M-B during the time I mentioned. After a few years, the loan was formally converted to a donation. (Other museums have been given racing MBs. Henry Ford, IMS, etc.) Some time thereafter the W196 was sold for something in excess of £1 million that was used to build the library at the museum. It changed hands again in 1990 for a reputed £13m, and ran in the Monaco Historics in 2000 with Willie Green. It passed through one or two collector’s/dealer’s hands before ending up in its present ownership (a Qatari Prince?) in the 90′s. Bonhams has a rather fluffy press release about it being ‘forgotten’, which is most surely not the case. People love to hype these days ... Bonhams is NOT Christies! This is not a barn find. It’s just an important, historic M-B racer that has been seldom seen for twenty years or so. (OK .... what is uncommon about the brakes ... for the day?) ----------------------------- Russ

NE Oklahoma but I don't think Whizzy has a host hotel yet. NE OK has similar roads as NW Arkansas. Twisty and now a lot of traffic. Russ
