EAUX means "waters" (EAU = water, add the "x" for plural) in french. i lived in the french caribbean for 5 years and i love sailing. i wanted something short and simple, but a little cryptic.
ive always admired your SEC. where did you get the exhaust done? are you happy with it? how much was it?

A black end-of-model run W124 wagon is something to be MUCH coveted. I know a LOT about owning a black car, they are a lot of work, and get dusty and drity real fast, but nothing shows as well as one.
The "Arts" plate shows the lettering just perfect on your car. Nice job with that. I would think you'd want to show it on the front too.
I have a set of Period correct Beverly Hills Ltd. MB dealer plate frames, so if the personalized plate comes in, I might use that too.
Anyway, here's a late update with pictures, on what has been going on the last weeks, with the Remus (so far as I know it was the last brand new one left for the 560SEC in the USA). Costs me $930 to the door, but it is worth it. (Would have cost $750 a dozen years ago, FWIW)
