That's one hell of a car mate! Very very nice, love the mods - they make a big difference but they're subtle enough to be classy. Well done

great choice... on your vacation, car, lady, mods...

but please take this baby to Brabus for engine mods... pulley and ECU. You will have the best of both worlds (power and looks)

If I may ask, what is your profession?

Kevin,

Thanks so much for sharing your adventure. That was a trip of a lifetime and I'm sure you guys had a blast. My wife and I are planning to do the same thing one day with a new S63. Thanks again...you gave us some great ideas.

Thanks Topgun, I appreciate the compliments. I'm not much on engine mods, I have my race car for speed, and the 55 has so much power that I can't even use it around town. Plus I don't enjoy the BS headaches of taking the car back to solve issues related to modding engines. It sometimes takes the joy out of owning the car.

Proffession is TV Business.

Thank you Birdman, I believe the rear lip is about 2 inches, I haven't measured, just going off of the look. Car hasn't been lowered yet, but it will be dropped.

Thank you
