Purchased at the end of July but didn't get much time behind the wheel and now I have it stored for the winter (one of the disadvantages of driving a roadster in Canada).

Looks like you could make a pretty good go-kart track out of that! Must be nice to have some breathing room around your home. Looks great.

Thanks for the nice compliments, Stream! I tell everyone that it reminds me of Dover International Speedway (LOL), specifically the circled portion. And, I've said the same thing, many times, about how it would make a great go-kart track! (LOL) Upon my retirement, I moved to a fairly rural area on about 20 acres and built our house well off the paved road. Converted from a gravel driveway to concrete about 18 months ago. It was quite an investment at 168 yards of 4,000 PSI concrete with all expansion joints no further apart than 7', with most being much closer. My SL seems to really enjoy it though!

Instead of hanging off the front of the car, your front license plate frame/holder fits into the bumper. Nice!
Where could I get one?
***It's all about the details!

That, my friends, is one heck of an automobile! Tell us more. The car above, not mine. LOL

Talking Just For FUN!

Recorded by my son, well over a year ago, with no thought of ever posting it! So, I just now decided to use it, simply for the fun of it, for making my first and only YouTube video. Hope you enjoy it!

Once the next generation SL comes out and all those who swore they would not buy a soft top SL in fact do so there will only be three of us left on this section of the forum!

I've always liked Mustangs but when you see them together like that, the SL is so much more refined and elegant looking.
