Very nice picture.

November 7th I will be in the Polo Lounge of the Beverly Hills Hotel, listening to soft live jazz music and sipping a nicely blended Mai Tai.

I'll have brought the "Beverly Hills Volkswagen" (as the 560SEC was called, 22 years ago) to this venue, as I host a visiting Mercedes Benz pal to a tour of the "City of Fallen Angels" for a couple of days.

Amazingly, the P.O. of my SEC used to OWN the Beverly Hills Hotel, and got rid of the car, he said to me, because his young wife thought the Lorinser wheels made it "too flashy for Beverly Hills and wanted a new BMW" when he handed over the records from April 1992 beginning with the first one from Beverly Hills Mercedes Benz. He liked the car and nothing was ever wrong with it, (he told me, in his office on Wilshire Blvd, near Rodeo Drive) but did not feel too bad, because he still got to keep his Porsche 911.
