Olga the Family Wagon
Hey Guys,

Just wanted to introduce my self and post a few pictures of the our new R. We had the R350 and loved it but my wife was needing more power. So we skipped the R500 and went for the R63. What a beast, the kids named her Olga, they name all the cars. We have a family of 6 so the R fits us just perfect, and the pano roof make family trips a blast.

The R63 came with a few mods, many thanks to the previous owner:
-C63 Paddle Shifters
-Escort ZR4 Laser Shifter
-ECU Tune 540HP/500TQ by ECU Tuning Group
