the MICHELIN post

MICHELIN customer service reps and advertising/marketing agents were extremely friendly in answering questions and telling us about MICHELIN tire products and their MB relationship... Even got the MICHELIN MAN in the pics, and some nice MB related displays.... oh, and did I mention that beautiful SLR up on the ramp !

They gave away a bunch of MICHELIN posters, only one was MB related, but another very nice 2005 Champions poster including Fernando Alonso's F1 Renault. The F1 Renault in the photos, was actually, Fisichella's.
Also gave away some brightly colored lanyards and window-cling 2005 MICHELIN Championship decals.
(Ricky, I've got one saved for ya ! )

so, here are the pics.....

WELD RACING WHEELS
CLS55


This 3-spoke WELD wheel design should be out in the market by 2006.
It really looks beautiful up and close, and compliments the CLS very well.
I was impressed by the craftsmanship and design.
The pictures really do not do these wheels justice.

For more info,
contact Brian Moon at

X-act

now this MB is one of my favorites at SEMA...
after a while I really got sick of seeing CLS after CLS after CLS

this is the X-ACT
1987 560 SEC

this car has been proclaimed the "GRAND CHAMPION" of the
International Sound Quality Challenge.

the custom interior is simply amazing.
- Column Steering (no wheel) with 4 push-buttons
- futuristic dash and center console design
- rear seat speaker with large MB Star logo on center woofer
- amps & speakers in a custom trunk design
