Hold on to the wheels you remove from Excelsior. I will hopefully need them at some point if they aren't already for something else........
BTW, what's wrong with the pin stripe?

I don't really like the pinstripe on this wagon. Zippy has one, but I grew up with that navy blue pinstripe, so it stays.

Jimmy, I noticed today that my "JimmyL failed to post" had been deleted. Anything to do with that?


My sister posted this photo today in facebook. Here's your chance to get even, though no photoshopping is required for the humiliation.

I didn't do anything with it. Obviously a moderator didn't care what I had been up to. Can't say I blame him!!
Man I love the sunglasses! In several pics you appear to have a tendency to get the people's eyebrow going.
And you're a brave man posting pics of your sister on here with all these horn dogs roaming......

it's automatic.

Of course I have a pair of those sunglasses too. How can you own an early 1980's MB without some?

Oh totally. I keep a pair in my wagon for picture moments....





I also have a pair of new Ray Bans for general use.

Nearly 2 years later, I finally found the Excelsior's keys today. Somehow they wound up on the shelf in the laundry room downstairs....

always the last place you look...

You probably washed and/or dried them and then somebody found them in the machine trap.

I just can't believe that this was almost two years ago.

... as if you'd keep looking after you find them.
