After reviewing the posts, and, especially after reviewing the private messages, I have decided to give the car to Roy. I was especially surprized by the private messages that spoke about Roy and all that he has done for the community. In the early years of my 190D, I spent HOURS trying to fix something that was not in the Chilton's book, and later I had a couple of books that I bought in Budapest (and I DON'T speak Hungarian). Anyway, he has been such a resource to SO MANY members, and SO MANY members consider him more than a resource and, indeed, a friend.
I spoke to Roy this past week and I will post pictures when he comes to pick my trusty old 190D up.

You will have to have someone take one of those classic pictures of you shaking Roy's hand and with the other hand, handing over the keys.

Fair and just decision. Anyone got a good spare clutch slave or master to donate? Preferably new or rebuilt.
I also hope this may become somewhat of a trend on site as time goes on. Roy how do we all go about collecting our ten dollars for voting your way?
