Diesels in Horse Country

Ahh, such a gorgeous day. Thought I'd remenisce a bit...

Took the '85 300TD down to Lexington for a day at the races at Keeneland. It was such a gorgeous day and walking in with $50 to bet and leaving with $300 makes anyone's day! Oh, and the TD ran beautifully the whole way down. She ran a bit on the warm side, but I will be changing the coolant, t-stat and probably water pump soon enough. Wish I still had the 250 Cabriolet!

So glad you enjoyed our beautiful home! Next time you're in town let me know and I'll give you a list of good restaurants!

Nothing is prettier than a Mercedes with a "Keeneland Club" sticker on it!

It's even better if you have a wagon. That way you can tailgate with wine and cheese!

Interesting you said that about the Keeneland Club sticker, my '70 280SL has about 20 years worth of Keeneland Club decals on the windshield. I bought it from a couple who was very big in the thoroughbred business.

Notice the Keeneland decals on the passenger side of the windshield.

HEY! I'm from KY originally...and I was a music major at University of Kentucky for 4 years...I left in '91. Lexington is a great town...I miss it sometimes. All of my family still lives in KY.

Glad you had fun there!

Mike

PS "DaimlerChrysler", what part of town do you live in there? I used to live on Rose Lane, right down the street from Lynagh's Pub (I think it was spelled that way--It's been a while), and the UK fine arts bldg., student center, etc.
