[diesel_mercedes] Motos

 



Oh yeah ~ auctions, where you're the only bidder and foolishly think "it's only $75, how bad can it be to fix up ?" .

OOPS .

Yes, I still have the W650 and was beginning to get it going again, it was my daily rider, I bought it new on 2000 from that first batch of them imported .

Blue / silver .

If the rain will give me a break I'll go out and work on another old Moto to - morrow 'cause I'm itching to ride it again .

Pops bought TWO 1966 SAAB Two-Smoke station wagons, both were lemons although I'm aware many held rhose cars in high esteem .

Pops wasn't any sort of Gearhead and tended to destroy anything he drove .

Well, sometimes I wish I wasn't so "experienced", though I've owned some great vehicles (Citroen DS, SAAB Sonett, a ring-ding SAAB wagon, several '50s-60s MBs, 442, water-boxer Westy....  Hmm.., I still own most of those cars!).  Even getting into MB diesels was an exercise in throwing caution into the wind:


My friend Don, at the end of auction day, "So, you got the 300D?"

Me, "Yep, $300 all in.  I was the only bidder."

Don, "What are you going to do with it?"

Me, "Well, I'm gonna try to get it running, and drive it out of here."

Don, "Do you know anything about them?"

Me, "No, not really...."

Don, snickers as he walks away....


You still have the W650?  I thought it was lost in one of the, ah.., mishaps.  If I had one of those, it would be elevated to daily-rider status.
