A Day with a Benz
The 1969 280 se cabriolet. Oh yeah…..This is a car that was meant to be driven with a picnic basket in the trunk, a loved one by your side, and if it’s warm enough, the top down. She is elegant, sexy and a pleasure to drive. She has heat and air conditioning and even a cassette deck [...]
First Drive Recap
WD4F, The First Drive recap When Monica and I set off on this journey we weren’t sure what we were thinking or what we were doing. All we knew was that we made the time had a few bucks and were going to do it. We sat next to each other for 6 weeks, most [...]
January and still driving the 356
January and still driving the 356 This has been one of the most amazing winters for the vintage car enthusiast. Not just one day of driving this weekend, but two! This weekend I was invited to a barn on hill for lunch with two friends and a late 356 “A” coupe. I was to bring [...]
New Years Day Drive 2012
Happy New Year! January 1st 2012 turned into a beautiful 50-degree day that was perfect for a drive. Monica wanted some time to catch up on her reading so I added a few logs to the fire and started out to nowhere. Nowhere is one of my favorite destinations. It means no planning, no thinking, just [...]

It had received rave reviews from various magazines and most reviews from Yelp were also promising. The short of Patty’s was really big pancakes all [...]

The year 2059…..
The weather is turning and we have already had our first snow. I am picking up my 356 from my friend Dick’s with a fresh rebuild on the engine and will try and get a few hundred miles on her before the season is completely over. I find it fascinating how I look at my [...]
How to save your Engine and salvage your pride
When I pulled her into my in-laws garage in Manhattan Kansas I knew something wasn’t right. The engine had a new noise that I was hoping could be cured with a valve adjustment. The wonders of a 356, doing a valve adjustment with a 13 mm wrench and a flathead screwdriver on the floor of your [...]
San Francisco – the first night
In the true fashion of my wife, we arrive in San Francisco and food and wine are on her brain before I can even find a safe place for the 356 for the two night stay. This was our second experience with an AirBnB.com. When we arrived, the front of this home was a flat painted [...]
