Indy Meetup! ;)



You may remember a few months ago I bought an SL500 with a ABC fault pretty much blind.

I came here crying and you guys bailed me out.

maw1124 and I continued to chat via DMs and today we had the chance to connect in person!

What an amazing community this is - so grateful for you all - and so glad maw and I had a chance to meet up!

His S55 is off the hook - incredible ride - maybe I’ll get one of those next!

Man it was good meeting you! Glad we could make the time to connect. Your SL is proper, and should provide you decades of joy the way you like to care for it. The wheels and paint correction take it over the top, but the engine bay detail doesn't hurt either.😉 All a lot better than a $23k bill at the stealership.

Enjoy the open top motoring and I'll reach out next time I'm rolling your way. I have big Indy crew so I'm there a couple / few times a year.

Cheers,

maw
