MBenzNL Installs
Just had my installs done by Steve over the last 2 days. Great work , thanks to both Steve and Wanda. Added the Euro Command w/ TV tuner ( what a great feature ) , and retroffied Active Bi-xenons. I will try to post some pics soon ... Best part of the install trips is meeting new people, hi to all 
I think everyone's first question to Steve was "when are you coming back ?"....

Hey John,
Nice to finally meet you!! Don't think I forgot that you "stold" the last TV Tuner and prevented me from having one installed.
So.. When are we gonna line up the 2 beasts to see what a difference stock vs modified makes?? I'll bring the video camera...
Steve,
Have a safe trip home my friend!! Don't wait too long before coming back.. I need that electronic trunk closer, TV tuner, distronic, and TPM system... See you next time.

hey vic, it was nice meeting you too although you are a VERY bad influence By the way the TV tuner is amazing I had steve working on my beast for 2 days and I already have another list of mods ready to go.. I think the 2 of us will keep him coming back to toronto.

Just out of curiousity -- Steve is headed my way; does the guy have any preferred "social lubricants" [read: beer, etc.] -- for AFTER he does the install, of course...

social lubricants...
MBenzNL these past few years have been such a positive benefit for us all. Steve/Wanda provided us a solution that many MB dealers and aftermarket tuners were uncapable of providing. Kudos for the internet in getting the MBenzNL name out there and for Steve finding the energy to make those many global trips.
He once told me a story about a rather ego-driven BMW owner at an install site, when Steve asked him; "Well do you have a BMW expert that performs mods by traveling the world because these MB guys do?" This BMW owner remained slient and from that point on stayed quiet.
social lubricant...Steve doesn't drink but loves coffee (starbucks), cart racing and a good steak dinner; no fruits or veggies though. I've hosted all of Steve's Chicago visits so I've gotten to know him very well.
Glad you all like your mods, I know each time I get something new the car feels new again. And yep, the mod list continues to grow, never ending I guess.

Me??? Bad influence?? Nah.... You know you want those headers & pullies... Oh, and an exhaust system!!
Gotta make some time to swing by one day and check out the TV tuner.
Yeah.. Maybe we can arrange to bring him back in a few weeks and we can both get our next list of things done.. I am sure there are a few others that would take advantage while he was here.
Enjoy!!

Nothing MB related (sorry)
Hey, John! Thank you for hosting my little brother. I have not yet been able to speak to him over the phone (guess he is still on his way to SF, or may have just landed) - but I am sure he had a 'relaxing' Toronto visit.
Victor - we will make sure to put aside a TV tuner for our next Toronto install visit! And we will put your name on it in LARGE capitals.
greetingz,
BigSis
