Since I had a full jolt of adrenaline I decided to work if off and finished up my Mighty Metropolitan Nash FHC to - day , the test drive was down that same twisty Pasadena freeway going 3/4 chat ~ passing everyone in a Metropolitan Nash as they slow down for the tight , off camber corners and watching their eyes bug out , is priceless .

Now I can play with this :

[diesel_mercedes] Whew

 


As I mentioned yesterday , Mercedes certainly do handle well at speed .

I was ruminating on this as I tore up the twisty Pasadena Freeway in the quiet pre dawn , when I reached Pasadena and transitioned to the 134/210 interchange some boob in a pickup truck pulled in front of me then  slammed on his brakes as I was passing him on the right ~ instant four wheel drift @ 80 MPH , I applied *just* enough brakes to avoid rear ending him and counter steered to slip between him and the curb , straightened out and was on my way again , the adrenalin rush isn't done yet and it's been over 30 minutes .

Not much fun for me , I don't like / need that sort of excitement at this age .

After nearly wrecking me he pulled way over to the left and went off to Sun Valley , maybe he thought he was having fun ? who knows .
