Kerry, I assume you were searching for the best shop to purchase some eggs or flower to make homemade pasta. Just driving for fun could have been a violation of lockdown regulations. In foggy conditions you obviously have missed some shops...

In foggy conditions you obviously have missed some shops... Of course Hannes, you are right. The local supermarket ran out of pumpkins so I was forced to drive into the country to find some. Then I got lost in the fog and drove around for two hours before I found my way home again.  Excuse me officer can you point the way to Ottakring?

No, but while using the tin top to take some rubble to the recycling centre I saw a 1950'S Mercedes 190 SL cabriolet heading into Abridge, Essex. Seems unlikely to see a real one on the road so I wonder if there are replicas being built?

Normally any new producer will be raided and all molds & tooling destroyed before they have a chance to go into production. Therefore, your 190SL was almost certainly the real deal. See HERE for an example.

A new throttle peddle as my old one Sat 85 mm below the brake & was dangerous as you could trap your foot under the brake peddle . Now i can toe and heel properly ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/11/28/DSC08421.jpg) The drive back on a dry moonlit night was also fun
