Took a 400 mile round trip on the "Highway thru Hell" ( There is a TV series on that). The Coquihalla Highway is an extreme freeway located in southern British Columbia, Canada and gets to an elevation of over 4000 feet. Speed limit is just shy of 75 mile per hour although most average 80 - 90 it seems . Round trip gas cost was just over $170 Canadian! It did snow last week and on one pass it was snowing yesterday. Weather is very unpredictable on this hwy. We had temps of a high around 70 and an low of 55 at the higher elevations. Kept the top off down for the whole trip.

Was hoping the front would settle more, I have #1 pad up front and #2 rear, going to swap to a #3 rear. Maybe later this week.

#3 pads in the back will raise the car just enough. The front (and the back) will settle in a month or two. Your SL looks great!

My r129

At the Dinky Diner today along with Sacramento River. It was a beautiful 85° day and I had a great drive with the top down.

when I park it I always put the top up so I don’t burn the plastic do you guys do that?

 

[dbailey2119]

I keep the top down so the haters can hate (weather permitting)

 

[ceta4zng]

Absolutely. Only time the soft top is up is to keep the sun out when parked or if I get caught in the rain when driving.

Another great day in Vancouver BC!

DanT 500SL,
Great work. I do hope you are going to place a rare r129 exterior color on your 1990 SL, making it truly special...

A friend of mine just bought a 95 SL 320 and asked me to come over and look it over and give some advice.

I thought this car was absolutely stunning.

you think it was three years old.

has 101,000 miles on it.

can you still get antennas for these or do they have to come from Uro?

Does your friend not have a windscreen? I know some new to top down drivers put the roll bar up as a safety net, but that's not the way. Roll bar should only be up a few inches to attach the windscreen, and then lowered.
