On another note I see the SL65 in one piece which tells me no work is being done on the 1000HP project..

I am saving my pennies that is all i am saying, this better be good.
Don't forget us guys down here in Florida!!! Renntech is way too expensive. We need a franchise down here. Hmmm, I may be interested. We sure do have a lot of AMG's down here. Get your shop going and then we will talk if you are serious about franchising out.

Since its winter up in Toronto, I am going to send my Developer STAR system down to the California shop so Vadim has it there.. It'll be there before the end of the week.

I paid $600 to Penske once to trouble shoot a CEL, which turned out to be a loose spark plug wire. That was the last time I took my C32 to the dealer and the first time I begin to fix my own car (with the help of a friendly local mechanic)
Thanks Dave! Vadim & I have big plans for that shop, and I have some big plans for VRP.. so we'll just take it one day at a time and see where it goes.

Always a fan!!

Jude.. it would be so much easier if you just moved up to Cali.. LOL.. Your 65 would get the necessary attention it deserves..

It is the land of opportunity... We are thinking big so we'll see where it takes us..

Something interesting just happened 20min ago... I am sitting here at the airport waiting for my red-eye back to T.O. and I get an email from a member telling me there is 5,000sq ft facility with a Dynojet 248 available near NY...

Maybe we'll have a NY operation afterall..

I never kid around when it comes to business.. Franchising is something that crossed my mind.

I have Chris @ C2D already in FL (who is a VRP dealer), so if you need a good place to get stuff done, he is in Tampa. Is that far from where you are?

Jody... When I get some more details on that 5,000sq ft facility I'll let you know.. Maybe we can do something to serve the NY/NJ region.

Good luck Guy's, I hope you do prospere and be the best Mercedes-Benz tuner around.

I like the fact that there are many reviews towards each upgrade and Victor is very easy going and answers question's,reccomendations and offers solutions for those in moding dilemma's.

Victor:

That S550 certainly is a nice piece of eye candy. I tripped walking into the front of the shop because I was mesmerized by that car and I wasn’t looking where I was going.

By the way, it’s a nice shop.

Congratulations on your new venture. Is your shop going to be a full service repair facility or more geared toward mod installation/development? What are your anticipated labor rates.

Thanks,
Jordan

Thanks guys! We are overwhelmed with the support everyone has shown us and we truly appreciate all the well wishes and enthusiasm.

-------------------------------------------------

LOL.. that's funny.. Yeah. It's a SWEET car!! I was checking it out myself while I was there... We might be developing some cool parts for that car...

I've always like the white & black contrast.. Even the CLS63 looks sweet in white... Beautiful cars.

Hope to bump into you next time I am down there.

I think it will help a lot by posting your shop hours and days you are open. Just a suggestion.

Please say you're open on saturdays...

James, I am here from 9 - 5 pm during the week. If you want to come by on Saturday, just call and I will meet you at the shop. I am at Cars @ Coffee at 7 am, at least 2 out 4 Saturdays per month, so I usually stop by at the shop afterwards.

And I'm sure I'll be bugging Vadim to open up enough to finally get my own key . Very nice setup. I wish I had a lift...

Thanks for the info Vadim. I'll definitely be doing a stop by one of these saturdays to see the VRP goodies. I'm coordinating right now with the boys from CO and might do the VRP Cams and head. Just doing some homework right now.

Still waiting for Jim's(Jackpro) numbers on the head and that will tell me. I'll keep you posted.

MMMMMMM, I gotta say, that SL65 is HOOOTTTTT!! I stared at it for so long, eventhough that Noble is right above it. By the way, the bottom of that Noble is so gorgeous. Full on race car.

What the heck is that nasty old 7 series doing on that pimp *** E55?

Thanks! Please do stop by and see Vadim.. There are always cool things in the shop to see..

VRP Canada.. well... that remains a marketing and sales office.. With California getting roughly 50% of all AMGs produced, it only made sense to make that the base for retail operations..

Yup.. you soon may very well have your own key.. lol..

We'll put a cot upstairs for you so that way you dont have to take the long drive back to SD all the time on your visits..

Thanks bud!!! It was great to see you for lunch! Sorry I couldnt make it back to your shop.. Ran out of time.. Next time I am down there would like to come by and see you and your brother.

I am really glad to hear he is happy with the car.. I am not sure if Jeremy is going to tweak it anymore.. but.. we'll see after the dyno is done.

Thanks bud!! Where you been? Any news on that other stuff? PM me.
