The Trash Merc
This story is a response to the Challenge posted on Friday Fictioneers, which is a weekly blog link-up led by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields at Addicted to Purple. A story inspired by the photo prompt, a beginning, middle and end in just 100 words or below, making every word count. Here goes my attempt, hope you guys like it.
“Walter…what do you think…?”
“It’s a beauty…”
“Better than the real one right?”
“Yup…?”
Three German friends Armin Ciesielski, Peter Brakel and Walter Wheeler, decided to recreate one of the greatest, in their opinion, cars ever created – Mercedes 300 SLR. The essence of their idea was to make a car from spare parts and gears. And, after spending 7 months, they’ve made it. By the way, the recreated Mercedes has exactly the same dimensions as the original Mercedes 300 SLR.

Much as the new car is pretty cool… the old one had to give itself up for parts…a twinge of sadness
