[R-390] OT: Fair Radio + Granite Mercedes Monument

[Tom Norris]

Sorry about that Glen, thank for bringing that up, I'll get rid of it.
Not sure how that got in there....

The story behind that was a young fellow who loved Mercedes died  
before he was old enough to drive. His brother commissioned a solid  
granite correct scale 240D as  his memorial. Story is here -

I have a '76 240D and an '85 300TD. BA cars, no computers, mechanical  
injection and pumps, can run on crisco, good cars.  Not collector  
cars, just taken care of under the hood. Mine aren't granite, though.  
Makes the hood easier to raise! heehee
