Hi Matt:

This is my 86 300SE Euro that I had just gutted/finished the interior over
the summer and then completed the valve seals this past weekend.  My oldest
son, Sean,  who is home for another few weeks before returning to Iraq
needed a car so I gave him this pristine MB that I had set up for winter use
here in the Boston area.  He met up with a deer in mid-flight so the bumper
is untouched but, the grill and hood are all done.  I'll guess a hoof or leg
hit the driver's headlamp.  Sean said he was doing 45mph when the deer just
flew in front of him with all 4's in the air.

The local fire station where the accident took place gets free venison and I
get the bill. :~)

Dick
