What I find, and that Mercedes still looks good today! If it was half a day to go and look at this, I'm thinking that would have been quite alot of miles to drive it back again while wondering if it would actually make the journey!
They certainly don't make them like that anymore, most car manufacturers would be bankrupt if they did!
At least we had a back up rig on the drive home. When my cousin said it was not safe to drive back from Portland, 800 miles - THAT was along, nerve-wracking drive home!
