Those nigtmarish nights ahead of you.
If I were him, I'd never post any pics, especially at your asking/begging/bowing. So just drop it. He will still ignore you (and that hurts).
BTW, what are you eating for lunch?
May I suggest some boiled crows?
Good Day.
I shall never eat a crow ... only a humble pie!

I enjoy WSH's posts. Everybody has an opinion whether you like it or not and he does present valuable information. However the responses to his posts can be quite passionate and that adds to the value of his posts.

its not that hard to find a VIN you guys. Go to the dealer and right down the VIN you find on the lot, or just search the web and bam. WSH is an annoying POS and I am sick and tired of his whining and ranting towards those who do not have AMG vehicles.

**** our S65 takes just as long to stop as our old S550.

Don't raise your blood pressure over WSH. He is funny!

The vehicle has to be registered. You also need a first and last name registered to the vehicle, I believe, but I do agree.

Congratulations to VKSF aka WSH

Good, bad or indifferent, I thought it was only appropriate to show the AMG Private Lounge's recognition of "our" WSH (aka VKSF). Kudos also to the other winners who may or may not be members of the mbworld.org family.

"From conversations and posts to private messages, each of these members made contributions in 2009 that made the team take notice. As a token of our appreciation, we will be sending each of you a limited edition CLK DTM Pewter Car Model.

* Bill Williams
* JRCart
* VKSF
* Chuck Z
* SLR8


All the best,
AMG Private Lounge Team"

I'd read about the ABC, but had never seen it in action before. The car barely looks like it's turning. Impressive.

My only beef with ABC is due to a very poor experience with an '04 CL600. I've had numerous hydraulic hoses burst on me, despite having done regular maintenance on the system. Have they fixed this quality issue?

In the newer models, it's much better overall. Less/no issues except in rare cases, and if I'm not mistaken it keeps the car flatter too.
