lol thanks guys...but since you guys are interested, here's my on-coming mod list after the bi-xenons...

1. REAL carbon fiber intake snorkles for the C55/CLK (yes, it's custom, and I already have the skeleton made).
2. Advans' style 1/2 carbon fiber rear roof spoiler (it's molded into the existing L style spoiler), it just extends a little out.
3. Possibly Springs
4. Possibly a semi-wider body with wheel spacers and fat tires.

but thats gonna take me till maybe spring of 2010

love your car pictures.

try these sample shots if your photographer can do.

some moving shots do not require rigs, most decent photographer know what to do, inexpensive way.

cant wait to see some vapor trails of your C55.

thanks guys, since you guys want to see it...

So I went to Oktoberfest 2009@GPNY. Yes, it's a BMW festival, MOST of my local buddies are BMW guys, hence, I have a BMW myself.

So, I wanted to take my "slow car" to this huge yearly event, but I didn't want to be out of place, (yes, I was supposed to be the ONLY mercedes at the event, but I happened to wake mike up, and dragged him out to represent)

BMW hood badge!



Then some shots of the car, at the event, it caught a lot of attention, since it was a MB and it had a BMW badge on it, so I named it. BMW 3 1/2 Series, 355 ////AMG.
to all the ones who would say "Why did you do something like that?"

yes, it was just a joke, so calm your turbos.

some kid at the caravan meet asked if I would be able to keep up with the "e92s" with JUST a c class, I said "nahh...probably not...." (i was kidding haha)

So...I got this for the week.



2008 Mini Cooper S, fun fun fun little car to drive, reminds me of a E36 M3, how the engine spools up, how it shifts, how it moves. yeah. it drives like a BMW too!


oh and this happened the other day... I think if i drove for another few miles I would have stalled.
