Default First ride 2017 - Priceless

My first ride of 2017 to a classic car meet ;
A 1958 Mercedes Gullwing next to my modest A : I guess a few hundred thoudands $ of difference.
Second picture taken on the road in front of an early 1900's typical Belgian house.

Your engine is bigger, 3.3L vs. 3L!

The gull wing is my favorite Mercedes, but the Model A is still more fun and affordable.

15 years ago my neighbor had a gull wing, and I always wanted to stop and ask if he would sell it. Guess I knew I could never afford it and I never did ask.

beautiful, I've been wanting to get my other car out of storage but its been miserable with rain here lately. Not storms but just that annoying light rain that makes everything soggy.

I note the change to Belgistan, I guess you've got some real issues there, but this forum is not a site for political discussion?
