Another from down under..

Hello all


I decided I should join rather than just lurk. Hopefully I can help someone to make up for all the online help I've searched..


We have an S430 long wheelbase, which we love. A big Merc is perfect for toting around long-legged teenage children!


And a 2001 CLK55, which I recently picked up. I was briefly in a Subaru WRX before so this is like heaven on a stick! Although the big wheels might have to go. Guess I should post that question in the CLK forum.


Regards
James

thanks guys


it's ironic that that they both turned out to be same colour - get's hard to describe which car when you're in a hurry to go somewhere!

Hi there


Just wanted to say that I love the Pelican Parts website. Being in Australia, my issue is the USPS is quite expensive. I needed a genuine part 2 weeks back (64128374995) and USPS was $49.50 whereas another supplier used Priority Shipping for $32.


thanks for the welcome though


Regards
James
