My name is Jim and I own a 74 450SL. We've owned it for about three or four years now, I own a small CNC machine shop. We do prototyping and some small run production. Mostly we develop manufacturing methods for bringing new products to market. We've been doing this for about 40 years.
Last year American Machinist named us one of the top ten machine shops in America One of my other interests is drag racing motorcycles. Jim |

For the last 15 years I've been in the motorcycle industry, mainly the parts end of it. A year and a half ago I was promoted to general manager. Motorcycles have been a passion for me my whole life.....it sure is nice doing something you love AND getting a nice paycheck to boot!!!

thanks for the accolades for my location
You are right! Nova Scotia is one of the world's prettiest places, and living here is a joy when you have a decent income. I was born in Lunenburg, went to school there, but moved to Amherst many years ago in pursuit of a newspaper career. However, when that didn't work out as planned, I eventually started work for the Canadina government, and stayed in the area due to havinh met the woman I would eventually marry. May 27th we celebrated 40 years of that marriage. Two children, now both well married and well placed in life, three grandchildren, all under 5, we're enjoying our retirement.
If you're ever looking for a place to visit, come to Nova Scotia, where the rum is excellent, the beer ever more so, the sights enjoyable and the prices are favorable, the children are beautiful, the men are handsome and the women are glad of it. Regards Jerry R in Amherst, NS |

My best friend's mother is from Nova Scotia. She married an American a little over 50 years ago, moved to Missouri, and eventually settled in Southern California. She speaks English and French, which seems strange to me, as I was under the impression that French is spoken only in Quebec.
