My Dog and my Fintail (PICS!!!)

Just uncovered these choice gems from an old SD card I found at the bottom of my Audi's center console. Taken last winter near Hueco Tanks, TX.

Cool car. This months' issue of MB Enthusaist has a nice write up on the fintails.

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. Agree cool car, but the dog is the best part of those pictures.

great dog and with a car of that vintage - you don't have to worry about him denting the sheetmetal on the hood!

Very cool ... I've seen many great pics of cats sitting on Mercedes hood, and dogs sitting in Mercedes, but this is the first canine I've seen ON a Benz. Both dog and car look very regal!

I love your dog. I'd like to have a garage full of old MB's some day.

Oh! Those pictures make me miss my own "Whoa Whoa's"! After both of my Huskies passed on, so did my TD wagon, Speedy. Both your dog and the car are gorgeous! Take care.

Two of my favorite things; dogs and fintails! That is a very nice looking dog. I have a W111 turbodiesel fintail and my roommate has a W110 200 fintail. My dog is a German shepherd/husky mix. I have a seat belt harness for him when we go on rides.

Here are some pictures of my German shepherd/husky mix with my fintail. We recently completed a trip from Washington to Utah and back http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=276086&page=4 .

Oh come on that's one friendly dog - great combination - better than my wife's idea of a King Charle's Spaniel and a Morris Minor Traveler... (I'm sticking with MB)
