Still don't have my phone number! I better be compensated for all the work I've had to do to get this squared away.

PM your guess. You could be the first, cuz I haven't received a PM from anybody that doesn't know already.

TruTaing was able to 1/2 guess, but that's only cuz of the "mention" of the company I went with, not because it was the actual guess.

I'll start a new thread as soon as everything is completed. I think I may make the 23rd meet. We'll see.

John, when did you get those wheels? I didn't think the E-Class wheels would look good on a w203, but you pulled it off very well, the car looks great!

I don't know if I'm gonna make it. Didn't get the pre-wiring done, so gotta do that throughout the week and then mount everything on Saturday (assuming everything is done by then). We'll see what happens. Gotta play it by ear.

I'll do my best, but no guarantees.

Don't worry though, it'll definitely be done by the August 11 Euro meet to represent MB's! Plus, we'll probably end up having a meet on the 12th and on the 18th, right?
