What size wheels/tires will you be using? Those new fenders look VERY large and very high up... will the wheel travel actually go that high?

Hi again.

Thanks for nice words. Yes, I love the E500E, it is a possession - isn't it?

Your carbon fiber works looks great, and with such an enthusiasm. I had some ideas about that on my '92, but I am missing the experience with that material. You are about 4 hours drive away from me, what about a visit some day? Bringing my candid camera too?


Cheers
