unlike this year with that ENZO thing... granted, its an awesome performer.. but they needa take some lessons from Porsche with their GT where no styling was sacrificed for performance...

Gup,
This was NOT a police chase. I was cruising about 120 - 130 in 4th and a car started closing in behind me. Before he got too close, I shifted into 5th and picked it up a bit. Apparently, the car was a cop that I met later that night. He never lit me up. Had he done so, I probably would have stopped. I was a lot younger then...yeah... I think I would have stopped.

i HAD a CLK320 with a 55 badge. Sold to a very decent gentleman who refuses to debadge it. He says its the closest thing he's seen to the real deal. :p
An E39 has entered my life now, and i'm having one heck of an oil burning affair at the moment! :o
Mods are on there way, the only delay was the fact that i had entered into a group buy for DINAN CIA, flo meters and CHIP but they came back and said to wait till november without a guarantee of the percentage discounts. So i went a head and spent my life savings on the parts.
They should be on their way any day now. Its a DIY and my car is at home without an ECU! bugger!
here she is...

No prob buddy... sometimes, we all can't be as fortunate as others to get new or different cars all the time, so, its nice to sometimes live through the eyes of others...
If we can't have it ourselves, at least share the happiness with the people who can afford the lush luxuries in life....
Keep on Moddin Ahmed.....
