Quote: What?! Nooooo. You have such a beautiful estate. What's next for you? Best of luck with whatever your new ride is.
I haven't decided yet. I might get something more reasonable for a few months. Winter is coming so I don't need 450hp RWD at the moment.

Quote: ^^Agreed.. Estate looks sick as ****.. good luck with whatevers next for you OP!!
Thanks!

Quote: Such a sweet estate, if they sold those here is be very tempted to drive one of those just to confuse people
Thanks!

Quote: Very unexpected
Your car is a real piece of work

Life is change and here's to you enjoying the next car related chapter
Thank You!

Quote: sad day

where are going mate???
whats next??

ill be intersted in your steering wheels and mirrors so i call dibs
Haven't decided yet, Brad. The steering wheel is gone but if you're interested in the CF mirrors shoot me an email: olszowa12@wp.pl
You were first to call dibs

Quote: Hey Matt, happy motoring in whatever you decide to get next. It has been a pleasure to have you around this forum. Don't be a stranger.

If you are still interested in doing some CF goodies I may be in touch. I was thinking of getting a hold of you for some mods over the winter. Mirror housings, grill, maybe interior, suggestions?.

Best Regards

Mort
Thanks Mort. I do the CF stuff but not as much as before because I'm too busy with work. Send me an email when you decide to pull the trigger - olszowa12@wp.pl
I'm sure we'll work something out

Quote: Your car is amazing! Sorry to see you're letting go of it Matt. What are you replacing it with if anything?
Thanks Ameet, haven't decided yet. I'll take my time over the winter to find a decent replacement

Quote: Matt, That is such a sweet Estate you have built. I am sure what ever is in your future will be just as exciting. goodluck!!
Thanks!

Quote: Oh boy!!! Well that estate served you well. And you did mod it tastefully .
I guess goodies for sale will be sold quickly.
What are you getting next Matt?
Keep us posted.
Thanks Anthony! Like I said before, haven't thought the next choice through yet.

Quote: Original head bolts?
Yes, original headbolts with tune for over 50'000km. No issues and my car was an early 2008 model.

Quote: Good luck in your future endeavors Matt, your presence and c63 expertise on the board will surely be missed.
Thanks Shane. In regards to your email - from the parts you asked for I only have CF mirrors. I'll send you a reply when I get organized with the parts.

Quote: You and your beautiful estate will be missed, Matt. Any hints on what the new project may be?
Thanks, no hints yet

Quote: Sad to see your amazing C63T go, it has served you well.
I know we never worked out a meeting in Germany, maybe one day
I'm sure you will start a new project soon, good luck with any future vehicles you might have in mind.

Herzliche Gruesse aus Chicago!
SCD-1983
Thanks!

Quote: Sad! that estate is such a beauty! but every journey has to end some day! looking fwd to your FS thread.
Thanks. Don't get over-excited about the FS thread - many parts were sold to a local C63 owner who was in love my car

Quote: 162K Holy! And I was thinking of dumping my C63 at 80k...
Keep it for another 80k !!!

Quote: This is a sad day in C63 AMG history.

It was inevitable though. As much as I love this car, it didn't do it for me anymore. Even the sound got plain...

Quote: Your car is a true beauty Matt. All the best and best of luck with whatever you find yourself in next.
Thanks Tal !

Quote: Your car was one of a select group that attained legendary status on this forum. Good luck with whatever follows...
Thanks bhamg. Means a lot although I don't think my car was legendary performance-wise

Quote: Ohh buddy. Thanks for your contributions. You have given good advice mate.
One less estate car on the forum...
There were just a handful of us anyway
Thanks!

Quote: I sure as hell will.
I've already sent him an email with pricing requests for all sorts of stuff. lol
Don't you want a part of history on your car? I mean this is like bidding for MJ's game jersey or something.
Quote: NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Matt, no. Stop it. Just stop it now. Unless you're going to surprise us because you bought the new c63s estate...

You still going to pop it and offer cf parts and that jazz? Or should we stop sending customers your way?

Good luck buddy
I can still bring some nice CF stuff to the table, don't worry
Unfortunately, no new C63 estate for me at the moment. I heard there are some recalls already anyway so I'm in no rush.

Quote: Matt,
Your estate was definitely one that inspired many to mod.

I'm sure you have plans and they will soon be released. It was a pleasure following all your mods and seeing you transform the estate into something unique and special. Good luck in the future.

Keith
Thanks Keith, means a lot from the owner of the sickest C63 known to date.

Quote: Hey Keith good to see you are still around
Matt that is true testament of your respectability and dedication on this forum.
It sure is

Major issues I have had:
- Rear dampers were replaced under warranty after 20'000km
- K1 clutch died at 80.000km
- Water pump gave up at 165.000km

Otherwise, it was all WOT, burnouts and powerslides

It's all cool Thanks and I'm glad I could help.

Its always a shame when you decide to move on a car that's part of you, but change is good and keeps us all fresh and great to have something new to look forward too and explore.


Such a top bloke and has helped me out in the AMG world, and carbon AMG world, and that's invaluable when your new to a car and its forum community, good luck and health to enjoy whatever your in next Matt.


Hope you as you say you'll stay around a bit, will miss the updates of the estate that's for sure, loved the subtleness of the mods.


Shame I missed the wheels as wrong timing for me with house selling and new purchase, back from Germany last night, so need to ping you re cup holder


Drop you a mail later on

I'm still crying inside.

I would say sell me your wheels so a part of Matt could live on here but I'm sure shipping wheels from you to me would be a nightmare.

Still secretly hoping you're a liar and got a w205 or cbs

Bye Mate! As said numerous times before your C63 wagon was one of the best style wagons out. In fact it made me decide to sell my sedan c63 and get a black wagon.

All the best and hope to see u back in an ///AMG soon.
