[W126 Coupe] FINAL update on totalled 560SEC

[Jan Michael Kubr]

Hey guys,

Daryl Armstrong will be driving down from Oregon Sunday to pick up my 
560SEC. To those that have emailed in regards to parts, I will forward 
all emails to Daryl but you can contact him as well.

Here is a picture link again:

And here is Daryl's contact info:

Daryl Armstrong

Precision Brakes Company
Ashland OR. USA.

I will miss the SEC but when/if I buy another car, it will be something 
a bit lighter, like an Elise or perhaps the new MX-5? Speaking of the 
MX-5, Mazda is having a test drive event: https://www.zoomzoomlive.com/

Good luck to you all with your cars and hope they last longer than mine.

Michael
