I wrote this during the restoration process of my classic Benz, if you share my passion for fine automobiles, you can relate, if not, you will think I'm Nutz>


She came in tired and worn
Time and the elements took their toll
I could see through her
She was from worthy stock

It was the first time we met
And we were alone
I gave her a careful look
Dusty eyes shadowed her youthful smile

At one time she was the pride of the stock
The envy of all
No one could demand that kind of attention
All eyes were on her

The bright shine glowing from her body
Was all but gone
Left behind in the dirt of the earth

She needed attention, and I had it to give
Slowly we felt secure
I gave her tender loving care
She needed it so much

I removed the fragments that shaded her poise
Soon, the gleam came back
Dignity returned

Now, others are awe struck to be near her
Nothing can compare to this beauty
Magnificent when standing still
Graceful moving through space

She is a rare find, nothing can come close
Forever a part of me
A three pointed star
Saydee was her name
She wore a silver dress
The bell of the ball

Now I’m forever in her spell
This 280SE will always be a part of me

Gary:

Wow, a poet too? I'm impressed.

Did I tell you that I have a restored 74 TR6? I CAN relate.

BTW, did you get the book I sent you?

VERY NICE, Gary turbomangt! Just wish I lived near your place of business so I could drive my "old and tired turbo car" into your shop for the perfect auto finish treatment. [8D] [^] I know you are very proud of the high-quality work you do--you certainly should be--and I'm sure your customers really appreciate it.
