Special K...Pictures of JamE55's car

Got to meet up with JamE55 today and got to do a quick photoshoot. Was in kind of a rush so we didn't get to do a thorough shoot.

James - sorry I had to jet so quickly, I would have chatted longer, but was already late. Hope to do it again sometime.

Hope you guys like the pics and no, pictures don't do his car any justice...it is truly a sick car.

thanks for the pics! the Kleemann 210 55 is a relative sleeper. i mean very sleeper, except for those who are familiar with the power of the great 55 KS8. the 209 looks really awesome, i am really liking the K8 bumper w/ CF lip + brabus quad fogs. i like how you integrated the quad fogs from the normal kit into the complete k8 bumper. nice drop and rims on both cars, i like how the 542R is a nice stylistic touch to the design of the 209, and the 540(r)'s look great on the E55. that sounds ironic, the way the 5-series looks on the E-class hehe. and renntech brembos are a nice aesthetic touch. i think some silver brembos with slotted rotors on the 209 would look great

Hey Tommy! It was great seeing you as well and no worries about being rushed. I also had to leave because of some errands. Thanks for the awsome pics on both of our cars. I'll be up there again probably within the next few weeks to get some more gold juice.

TMans can attest to that on our way to entering the fwy!

Thank you for the compliments!

Thanks for the compliments! I must say James made me feel like I was in a golf cart when I was trying to chase after him on the freeway. Let me know when the next photoshoot will be.

James - why don't you come to our next Euro meet in Calabasas on Oct. 30th? Take one trip to get your "juice", take some pictures, and run with the Lambo guys .

Invite is also extended to anyone and everyone. Maybe we can turn it into a meet/photoshoot.

Info is here:

Hey Tommy,

Thanks for the invite. I'll try and see if i can make it. But that "juice" is starting to get pretty expensive at $5 and change per gallon. So again we'll see.
