Mercedes a class act
I just read in one of my car magazines about a person who visited the grave of Dick Seaman who was an englisman who drove for the vaunted preward silver arrow Mercedes team. He died in a crash racing one and is buried in England. When at the graveyard they noted fresh flowers on his grave. They asked the Vicar of the church who was putting flowers on his grave and he answered "The Mercedes factory has sent flowers to it every week since 1936". Wow!
