Lisa,
PM me with your e-mail address, and I'll send you the PowerPoint file with the flyer in it. You can print one out, and then make as many copies as you wish.

Thanks !

and PS: I got your voice-mail message. Sorry for not responding sooner.
Yes, please do go ahead and call Paco or Chico, or whatever his name was, and set everything up !

Thanks again !!

Carlos

Just off the top of my head, its a 2001 CLK55 with an AMG supercharger, E55 8-pot front brakes, E55 4-pot rear brakes, supersprint center resonator, H&R springs, koni shocks, renntech rear camber/toe bars, renntech monolight wheels, retrofit COMAND, oem TV tuner, and Brabus steering wheel. There might be more, but I can't remember them.

You have an AMG supercharger on it? Who did the work, dyno and how much are you pushing right now crank/rwhp? That's awsome! You should definitely bring that one! How many CLK 55's are there that has an AMG Supercharger?

yeah, i kinda had an "off-day".
