leaving the west coast

Well ladies and gentlemen I have made the decision to re-enlist into the Marines and will be returning (I say returning because I'm originally from VA) to the east coast. If all goes as planned I will be in the northern Philadelphia area. My time remaining in CA I would estimate to be under 45 days. I have enjoyed it thoroughly and will miss parts of it (weather, girls, and car shows/meets specifically) I will be taking a break from the carbon fiber stuff until I am fully settled in over there, at which time I will continue my services and hopefully supply the w203 C-class community with more goodies. If you currently have an agreement with me involving parts I will finish them before departing so do not worry. (door sills guys your parts are still being made here in CA for the time being and will be made while I am gone)


This isn't good bye from the forum, just an adios to the west coast!

i work in northeast philly, and live only 10 minutes or so over the bridge in NJ. there are a bunch of us within about 30 min from that area. plus, now you will only be 30 min from Atco raceway and about 50 min from Raceway Park in Englishtown. theres plenty to do around here. we should all get a cruise together when you get into town.

Yep, plenty in the area. We usually have meets in central NJ if you're in the mood to do a bit of a drive.

Didn't know you did any carbon fiber - we'll have to talk after you get settled in; I grew up in Bucks Co., and am back frequently.

i recently left socal and know firsthand how hard it is. aside from being so expensive it truly is one of the best places to live on the planet. good luck in your travels and enjoy the beautiful area while you are still there.

Actually, maybe not for long. I've been contemplating the idea of moving to the Weak Coast.

Eric, welcome (back) to the "real world." Philly is a great town, particularly the burbs, cheese steaks (Pats) , soft pretzels, water ice, Italian ice etc etc Flyers, the Spectrum, ATCO (NJ)
