Checking in from California

Whats up everyone? After lurking on the forums for over 4 years I've finally decided to register, so I can have a voice and interact with everyone. I've previously owned a 2001 W220 since 2010, but sold it a month ago to get something with a little more power. I've had my eyes on the W211 E55 for years and was able to pick one up a couple weeks after selling the W220 S500. It was hard to part with the S500 at first, but once I got the E55 there was no looking back.

I just wanted to thank everyone for all the useful information that's available here on these forums. Over the years I've acquired A LOT of knowledge from you guys and I know I'll continue to in the future. This is a great forum and I'm glad to be here. Thank you!

Thanks! I don't need new wheels just yet. I'm looking to add more horsepower first. When I'm ready for a set of HREs I'll reach out to you and see what you have available.

I'm down in SD too. I don't know if you go to any of the local meets but I'll probably be making a trip out to the small 1/8 mile track at Qualcomm sometime soon.

Now you've got my attention. I'm looking to do a few things pretty soon. I plan on a trunk tank, SC pulley, belt wrap kit, and headers to start. If you could pm me some info and details on what you have available I'd appreciate it. Thanks
