Thank you my friend. By the way, I just read your email...congratulations!! Nothing like driving down the highway in an E55 with your son at your side right? Teach him well- don't let him hang out with the local M5 posse :p

Show-off ...
Love the 'sig' Vic (show-off!)
If you make any more mods to your Beast ... you'll need your own page to post with!
BTW: I did a split-screen with your Beast in 'profile': one with the second set of rims ... and another with the third (I'm counting the factory Monoblocks as the first). I thought for sure I was going to like the second-set better ... but with the wing and the stance (via suspension mods) ... the new rims (third-set) does the trick for me (too much space in between the spokes on the second-set).

Drew you are a smart man, that is exactly why I changed the wheels again. I am not taking any losses on the swaps so I will keep doing it. I may even buy a set of CL AMG wheels for my beast too just to keep the variety going. They are not expensive at all. Thanks again for the compliments.

'Junior Member'
I'm somewhat familiar with this type of forum ... I occasionally lurk around the M5-Forum (www.bmwm5.com) ... and they have a very similar format as we do now.
I think it takes something like 31+ posts to lose the 'junior' and become simply a 'Member'. Then if you post over something like 60,70,80 (could be 200) then you become a 'grand-poobah' and get promoted to 'Senior Member'.
I think we should lobby Simon to 'grandfather' us "regulars" in as Seniors (at least give us "Charter Member" status:p
On second thought, I just realized that I'm being a little hypocritical: I've laid-into 'posers' for sticking an AMG badge on the rear-deck-lid of their non-AMG 'benz ... trying to be something their not or trying to have something they didn't earn.
So, about the Member-thing ....
... never mind.

Too Funny but it is true, we have been posting for a while on the old site. Either way we know who has been around for a while.
