What's Next??? (a lot of pics inside)
Going a different route with my SL was not easy, a lot of nay sayers and a lot of things needed to be worked out before the car could become what it is today. This forum has helped me a lot, maybe not so much as in support of me taking away from the cars handling and perfomance but there are those few people out there who wanted to see the car pushed to the limits when it came time to slamming it down and doing a Benz like no other. I have been featured a lot and its time to take this car to another level. The car will be transformed as far as engine and performance this coming end of season. I have a lot in store to do to be able to get featured in some European Magazines and EURO TUNER as well.

This has been the Journey so fat -

You keep posting in the wrong forum... we allow some cross posting but you should be in the SL forum which isnt really that slow.

So because I own a SL55 I have to post in SL55 forum? I don't get it. I wanted this thread in the E55 section.
