[W126 Coupe] On the hook

[Gerry Van Zandt]

Hi Barry,

It turns out it was the starter.  Luckily MBI had spares in stock so  
the car is fixed and ready to roll. Unfortunately little I could do  
with a kaput starter -- only the second time in 10 years I've had to  
get towed in any of my cars.  Thanks again for the "lift" up the hill  
to get my SEC at my storage garage.  I'll be driving that for a while  
and give the 500 a rest after I clean and polish it up.

Earlier tonight I put a little story up on the 500E.com site about the  
incident, and mentioned you.

The 560s and E500/500E use the same starter BTW, which is why MBI has  
them in stock.

Let's indeed have a mid-winter coupes gathering.  Perhaps up to  
Timberline Lodge for lunch or ???  It would be fun to have a snowy  
backdrop for the coupes.

Cheers,
Gerry
