Friends
My old but restored 124 - 4Matic is featured the today's edition of the Mercedes Enthusiast Magazine. It is a six page, pictorial write up that I am very happy with.
I have to thank Kyle Molyneux (Editor) and Terry the photographer, for giving the car such a great feature. They allowed me to indulge, by including thanks, to my Cancer Surgeon and his wonderful team @ St Tomas's in London, as well as many others who have made me, & the car what we see today.
I just know, I will have missed people out, whom I should not have done. If that is you? You have my apologies and thanks. Without your help, the car would not have made it to this stage. Simply, I would have written another six pages of thanks, for Charles Morgan, Allan (Red C220) and Simon (Carat 3.6) along with so many others, the article would never have been written.
To Olly and Natacha & the Team @ PCS who arranged Benz On The Green and give us all such a brilliantly memorable day in the sunshine, what can you say? It was at this event that the magazine spotted the car and instantly, like me, fell in love. Thank you.
For anybody embarking on a project like this? Stick with the forum!! There are just so many people who help, without realising the extent to which they have done so. When you feel the need to reach for a can of petrol and some matches, the forum members always step in and lift you back up.
GROBER on here (Graeme) has been a virtual library of help to me. Never once complaining when I know that he could and many would. He helped me and my mechanic, so many times with obscure long forgotten words and manuals. Things that you just cannot get your hands on now.
To close my OSCARS speech. I have to say it, and I will keep saying it as long as I can.
Without the brilliant, beautiful, talented nurses and medical teams who gave me my life and never once asked for anything in return, who taught me what life is really about. I salute you all. We should all support our nurses. It saddens me so much to see them nickle & dimed by successive governments and individual ministers who build careers on the back of their hard work and determination.
I have no idea how much an hour it costs to pay the nurse who sat holding my hand as I felt my life slip away. Who talked to me and re-assured me for 12 hours without leaving my side and who cried, with me, when I returned from the operating theater, having been saved (again). Whatever it is? It is not enough and it shames those who seek to politic at their expense.
There. That feels better.
