    I may never have your talent, but I hope I still have your quality of life and enthusiasm when I reach that age. Congratulations on the achievement and I hope you have had a great day with the family. Good to see we turned on the warm whether for Greg so he would feel at home.

    Wow John that's superb you must have been quite a young bloke when you got married but when one has found the right girl, it's a matter of getting that ring on her finger.....

    Congratulation for both the birthday and the 53 yrs of wedded bliss ..........

    Very well done...

    Cheers, Peter

    PS - I clock up 35yrs in a few weeks.....

    I got back on to the 300 SL , its been a long drawn out episode, I started it last May, the older I get the faster the time goes.
    All the wood work finished , just a final sand and ready to spray. The body does lift off the chassis with a bit of difficulty for spraying, no views of inside the body its very rough.
    Only used jelutong and red cedar, with some luan ply inside the cabin. John.
