Hey guys!

I have been watching this site for a while, and i finally joined today.

I am working for a MB dealership here in Norway.

I am driving av 2004 CLK55 AMG convertible, and have been doing this for
13 months now. I have always been driving Mercedes Benz, but this is my first AMG. And i love it
My car before this was a W204, C200 CDI 2008 model.

My car has gone 80000km, it had gone 65000km when i bought it.

I have Brabus monoblock VI 8,5x19 and 10x19 for summer wheels. Just bought Michelin sport cup for this summer . For winter i have monoblock E in 19". I might sell these winter rims, and go back to 18". But i have not deceidet yet.
But right now i am looking forward to put my summer wheels on. The snow is almost gone so it is not long now.

Other than this the car is original. Looking at all the great mods here, i am also dreaming of doing some mods, but as a "normal paycheck" receiver, i am concentrating on keeping the car in top notch for now.

I love to drive the car, and also on the Nurburgring. A friend of mine with a E55 2001 W210 has been there a few times. I am not a racing driver, more "captain slow", but i drove around the ring in about 10min last september. Not a world record, but for me it is a new record.

Well, this is a short intro about me and my car.

Greetings from Norway!

What i have done since last log in.

Off course done some service, B-service.
Oil, air and fuelfilter.
Sparkplugs with all the sparkplug cables.

A little brakemod. Had to change the front discs and pads.
Because of last years trip to Nurburgring, the discs started vibrating, because
of overheating.
So mounted Black Diamond discs. They can stand more heat than original.
I also put on EBC yellow stuff. No problems after this years trip to the Ring.
No vibration or overheated brakes.

I changed my steering wheel to a brand new original one. The old one was just......old .

I also change the front grill, to facelift.

I will also change the front fog lamps soon. Will also put on some HID in the foglamps with 6000k.

As i said before, i have sold my 19" wintertires, and put new wintertires on the original AMG 18" rims.
Dunlop winter sport 225/40 and 255/35-18 V.

The car is still a dream to drive
