Have been on a trip at the swiss alps...

...lately:

After I forgot to check the cooling fluid at the mighty 280 S



we had to hitchhike with friends





The nice Mazda RX 7 with the rotary engine was a lot of fun



But even the heavy Mercedes handled pretty well



And the Mazda really took a big sip at the fuel tank



For the trip home the 280 S was running again. After filling her up with two gallons of water she looked good again. No white smoke, no bubbling in the cooling water, no exhaust smell. There is a light white smear in the oil. I have to check that.

New cooling pump was a bargain for 41 Euro



Kind regards
Eberhard

Well, thanks. But none of them is mine My Nikon Coolpix has a nervous breakdown and doesn't focus in long distance.

Most of the pics are from Thomas, my partner for ikonengold.de.

He is the guy to the left



Kind regards
Eberhard

Nice Pics! That R-X7 looks nearly identicle to one I owned several years ago. Same aluminum wheels too, which were a PAIN to clean. I sure miss it though! It got terrible gas mileage (I was still in school too), but I loved that car.

Nothing's quite as smooth as a rotary engine.
