Talking 3 CHEERS for the Euro Pimp,,,what a dude

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to publicly praise the skill and comprehensive work that Steve Krabbenborg just completed on my car.He put in the euro Comand,folding blinking mirrors,a complete Savv headrest monitor set with DVD player capable of TV in motion as well as playstation functionality.The Comand fully integrated with my existing Cd,and MB phone. He tears out the interior completely,makes the necessary wiring connections that the factory would swear was done in Stuttgart if they didnt know better.And he did all of this with jetlag,hardly any sleep,as if his life depended on it.He used care on each particular aspect that would rival the owner's diligence if the owner had the nerve to do what he did.
Im already thinking of things he can do next year,or whenever he comes my way again.Thank you Steve,and of course his big sister,without whom I am sure he could never coordinate the amazing and crazy things he does.

Wasssup Steve? Congrats, the new setup sounds awesome. How about a new interior next (AMG perhaps)? But we need pics....

Very well put, the Europimp does his work with a whole lot of passion (and vengeance!)....I guess that's what happens when u have a job that's also your hobby Big sister? Did his "big sister" have a moustache or beard?

Hey Dave,,,we spoke of you as well,,,,with high regard I might add.
Yes ,,a new interior would have to be an AMG,,like the one Stevo did in my D'way...Man that was too much car for the 60 yr old grandpa that drove up for a nav job.

And I asked Steve if I could take pics when he was"in motion",,,but for obvious reasons,he didnt want his face shown,,so I didnt snap any....But I thought of you when he was working,,and I will take new pics of the job,

Yeah,,I been busy,,I saw your reply to the fella wanting exhaust,thanks for the mention.
See ya soon bro,

Bye the way,,his big SIS is really his sister,,,,you're in trouble now,,,,,,,,lol
