Yep, that's her, except it was Berry Hill Farm - she won Best Looking W126.

My wife and I talked about selling her. Once I started talking about preservation etc, the frugal slavic in my wife comes out!

Seriously, we debated the sense of just hanging onto a car worth this much, for 10 years, when we have a daughter starting college next year and a son a couple years behind her.

Then I consider the liklihood of ever finding another car that has been this babied, with these few miles, and with the care it has received (just since Berry Hill I've done the ball joints, new hood pad, new coolant reservoir, window tint and continued to change oil, trans fluid, brake fluid, PS fluid and all filters way too often!). No telling what my replacement cost would be 10 years from now. I think it is a moot point though, because I would probably not be able to find one like this by then.

So, it looks like we will just keep the dirt off and the bugs out, biobor the fuel, change the fluids based on time, and drive it 20 to 50 miles at a shot once a month to keep things moving.

Unless we change our minds..... Then I deserve to be shot!
