    John, I found your hardware and all other special small parts I've been looking earlier this week. I should be able to rebuild it tomorrow.

    Moving shops has been the worst experience of my entire life. I would fall asleep driving and crash a W124 wagon into 2 foot diameter tree again than go through the last few months.

    I hope that wasn't your car Shaun! I've owned several MB wagons over the years -- that hit must have been at very high speed.

    Yes, that was my car John in 2012. I was doing around 70 when I fell asleep. State Police came to the hospital to tell my mom they've never seen anyone survive a crash that bad. This happened because my Spring 2013 samples (I had a boy's clothing company then) were sent to my business address in Boston, not the show in NYC as they were supposed to. I had worked several 20 hour days leading up to the show building a new booth, drove down, set up the booth at the Javits, found most of the samples had been sent to Boston, drove back, 2 hours of sleep, driving back to NYC fell asleep on the Merritt close to Sikorsky. Earlier on the trip down that morning around 3AM I got a flat tire on the Mass Pike. So it was quite a couple of days. And months following.

    A foot more to the right and I dont think you'd have gotten out of that one. Scratch off one of your nine lives.
