OT: Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the fellas out there!

I am celebrating by performing a long-delayed leak down test on my 1975 W115 Mercedes Diesel. And then some quality time with my E21 Baur on some twisty roads before going out for dinner with the family and friends.

What are you up to?

Gorgeous day here in CT.

Happy Fathers Day from the west Coast to all you Gear Heads and Nut twisters.

Nothing in the works for the MB today, after all it is "Fathers Day" and most of us our day is planned for us already. "Surprise".

My Brother In Law is coming over about 8am for Breakfast. then this afternoon we are going to the Landlords for a BBQ. they`ll probably have their whole famdamly down. will be a great time. they are Italian, and like being in with the mofia.

Have a great day everyone.

Charlie

Now THERE is a Man WITH A PLAN!

Keep us posted on your progress with all that, and when you do finally succeed... Don't forget all your old pals here in the Diesel Discussion forum! We'd like a piece of that, too!



Happy Father's Day!
