Postcard from 'MBenzNL-loaner'

Hello, currently in California on vacation - I've spent the last couple of weeks mainly in the Bay Area, however a couple of days were open and a buddy of mine offered me to borrow his car. He works as a Service Advisor at Mercedes, and gratiously lend me his 2003 E500 which has undergone a 'slight' MBenzNL-ification over the last week...



Just wanted to share a snapshot from my way down here

Nothing MB related (sorry)
Sven, this is not really a car YOU should drive, is it?

greetingz,

BigSis

Haha, not at all - but at least I managed 22mpg instead of the 20mpg Steve and I did on our last trip

Hmm, not sure if I can actually believe that... I know Steve's 'style' of driving a car, and I guess yours isn't all that different.

But at least it's a real treat to THIS car... probably makes you wonder how you can get rid of yours and 'exchange' it for a similar car, when you are back in the land of the Vikings.

Yeah, I know... too expensive. But it would be nice...

greetingz,

BigSis

Thumbs up Dont Need ANY PARKING TICKETS

Sven, I dont want to get any ilegal (Parked on a RED ZONE) parking tickets after you leave for NORWAY. Well anyways I really dont care coz I dont have the Registered Plates yet.

I think BigSis is correct you will need to sell your 190D and get one like this W211 and have MBenzNL - ifications done too.

I really appreciate it for what STEVE & YOU did to my W211.

Haha, I just tossed all the tickets I got - can't touch this, right??

I am the one who should be thanking you for loaning me the car - I cannot express who much I appreciate it!

I just want to make sure that you have enjoyed your VACATION while you are here in USA. I know it not like being locked up somewhere that you dont know what is going on outside.

I know you enjoyed the SKYDIVING with STEVE & Me. Are you ready for another Jump????

Skydiving was fun, I'm definitely doing it again! Are you ready? How about some Starbucks afterwards?
