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
