check my thread on AMG power... I have one pic of your car that I like a lot. It was as the southern caravan was pulling in to MBUSA... my lens was all fogged up and the way your headlights reflected it looks kinda cool

The guy there who was sampling the detail spray was Phil. I have his contact info at home. I also picked up a bottle of the detail spray from him because I was impressed with it.

I honestly didn't know what you were doing.I did realize that I was only driving with my parking lights on.The only "kill story" I could see you posting was if I didn't avoid hitting that jack-a$$ who cut across the Turnpike - the one in the 3 car accident.

Ya haaaaa...!

Well waiting to be the last guy out served it purpose. If I remove the MB tranni, I lose more then the timing retard signal going to the engine between shifts; I would lose the cluster... Definitely =have= to go standalone; recommended was Motec (and others) by that very knowledgeble ex-tuner MB technical expert (what was his name again?) , and use the cluster Motec makes.

....hmmmm.... it's always a possibility as the guy who did my engine swap runs Motec standalone on his turbo'ed C36 so has the expertise -- and he still uses his MB cluster, but that might be because his tranni is mechanical/vacuum actuated to begin with ... but do I want to make that leap...? One of the things I like most about my car's interior is the cluster.

just an fyi... I use www.fotki.com ; $50/yr. for unlimited space. (correction of something you said ... if it's unlimited space, you can't ever fill or use "it" up. )

see public.fotki.com/m8o/ for my library. [...booooe-ring...]
see sites like public.fotki.com/ChicagoGoldVIP/ for pix of what you really want to see... :p

Thanx ... & btw, nice license plate! :p Got me thinking... dunno if anyone would understand C55 M8O if I used it. or would think the oh ['o'] is a zero ['0'] and think the firecracker M-80.

ya, I myself was too into what was being said and zoned out. I realized my error later. I think I read that Pete said he had them. I'm waiting too, as there's a really good turn-out. I know MB has some as there was a professional photographer there along the wall near that pole towards the the middle of the room.
