and me ...

Of course Rhinebeck's Fokker has the original Mercedes, I could only wish to find that for mine ... it aint the same Fokker without the Mercedes ....
Highslide JS
Do you think that Rhinebeck would sell the 160 Mercedes they have taken apart (the one with the busted crankshaft) for my project?!?
