Cool Hey y'all from South Carolina und Grüß Gott

Hi everyone,

exile-Swabian here, grew up near Sindelfingen / Germany where one of the biggest Mercedes plants is located (C- E- S-Class mainly), have / had family working there and also worked there briefly during summer breaks.
Been living in SC since a decade now, have owned a 1975 W115 230.4 since 2011 and most recently a CPO GLS 450 from 2017.

Staying close to my roots, i also own a 2006 Cayenne S as well as a 1990 944 S2.
Have always done all the maintenance and repairs myself, except bodywork, paint and glass.

Excited to be here.

Phil

picking up my 944 from the port of Charleston, after waiting 5 years for it to be eligible for simple import into the US from Germany
