Just got back from OZ and have been busy racing around the hills of HK, helping some locals mod their rides and arranging a shipment of rare AMG parts for my local forum members. Not really gone from here tho, still lurking from time to time - just giving the new dudes a chance to speak :p
A Happy and Successful New year to all!

So you've been busy, that's a good thing! Nice to hear your putting your talent to good work as always, you've helped many lost souls here on the forum...especially myself!
BTW: I received your Christmas greeting via email...thanks your looking out buddy.
Have a GREAT YEAR!!!

Seems like the the local malaysian MB forum (called my benz) is starting to pick up, so been spending most of my time there, Had an "illegal" gathering recently with about 30 members showing up ( since we haven't signed up as an organization yet..:P ) but mostly W124s, W123s a few W210's , W203s and W202s. My ride is prob one of the most supped up one..waiting for Davo to come down to malaysia and help pimp it up with them LED skirts! lol..
Yeah..it was great for alex being a sponsor! its about timeone of the old school started owning this place!
get the E55 dude..there's been a year 99 E55 for sale here, costing about RM200K ( USD60K) which isn't bad (used to be USD300K!), but the road tax and registration would kill me (US4.5K for a year!) Let us know what you do in the end dude!
E's ok..but gonna try out a new mech to solve some nagging problems. Mods left for the E is probably a roof deck spoiler (if i can find it) blacked out grille, LED lights, exhaust and a DVD player and TV screen. Just changed my front two tyres..lasted for a year, but the rear which i bought at the same time is still 80% good!
keep in touch bud..if i ever make it to the west coast, you'll be the first one I'll call!

Hurry...pack your bags and move out here...and live like a PRINCE!!!Very cool on the benzo gathering, way to represent Malay style....if you got any pics, show it up bratha.
I just removed my LED lights from the E Class, if my memory serves me right, I think I promise to send them to Dave, I'll have to talk to him first, if not maybe they could be of use to you. I added the Brabus LEDs on the ML, much better in quality than the E.
Keep it all good!

Well, I can probably get my hands on hard to get AMG, Brabus and Lorinser stuff if you ever get stuck at your end - in fact, getting some the proper SLK55 bumpers (not the AMG aftermarket version) and the F1 SL bumpers for non-AMGs locally...can probably figure out shipping so it gets shipped to your direct from source so u don't get hit a double whammy on shipment....stay in touch bro and have a good one.

Check out the website www.mybenz.org. T-shirts and stickers are up, and membership growing fast. hopefully we'll have some good meets later.
AHhaa..Davo always gets stuff first! (just j/k) it's all good bro..would like to see how it turns out in Dave's car. I really wanna do the LEDS here..i'll prob be the first Merc here to do it, so it'll be a blast. move your butt down here Whitey! But what was the installation like Rich, did it involve a lot of parts being taken out and wire splicing?
Keep it real buddy!

Cool website, I just registered...hope to run into there. :p I had the LED installation done professionally, can't say I know what it entails, just dropped the car and picked it up a few hours later. I haven't heard the results from Davey yet...hope the install went smooth.
Talk laters Bro!

Unfortunately Rich, can't figure out how to fix those into my side skirts with no space in between like the MY00+ AMG skirts. I will pass them to Karlie if he has some space in between his Carlsson skirts and the chassis. Meanwhile I've just added another LED to each side of my existing ones - 5 certainly looks better than 4 on a W210 
Now thinking about putting more LEDs elsewhere (in the grill and somewhere on the tailgate area) so my car really lights up when I unlock it

put in a post and you'll get nice responses from the local guy..however, half of em talk in Bahasa Malaysia, so you might have prob understanding them..:PHave talked to Davo about the LEDs...haven't checked my skirts yet, but if it involves drilling, i might have to pass..but i'll keep you in the loop on things..
Catch up with ya later!
