Member reviews: bassn_07 and shardul

I'd like to give some props to a couple of newer members that are contributing vastly to this room.

bassn_07 for sharing his love and all around experience. As I have always said modding is about the process and not the final product. Bassn_07 has shown that due diligence pays off.

shardul for bringing that DIY attitude back with awesome writeups and clean and efficaceous mods.

There are others. Hoola for pushing the vendor enthusiast divide. blackbenz for being nuts. Rick for going after that something special (go team AMG). And lastly, Josh for having a positive attitude all the time and getting some of us west coast guys to the track.

Thanks Jangy for the kind words. Just recently I was looking back on some of my older post thinking how much I learned from MBW in such a short period of time. It's great to be part of a community that shares both knowledge and experience with us newbies. Every one that I ever contacted in regards to my car has been extremely helpful, even up to this day. Thank you members of MBW!!!!

Hey bro, we can add all we want to the thread. If I was gonna post guys I had love for it would get too long (and you and Son would be on it). I was just giving them props for being the flag carriers for now and doing such a cool job of using past knowledge and adding to it. It builds character for the room and helps us get our cars to the next level. There is still major power to be made and sustained. I am just learning and trying to apply it to my platform, too.

Where's my grill, BTW?

I'm just trying to get the recipe to be like "VIC"...

He has the nicest car stable I can think of.. Is the M3 a DCT?

I think Shamu has to go and W212 E63 should be the next move.

Vic is a constant resource on the board and sets a good example of how to BALL!! Uncle Vic, as we call him in SD, knows the game and loves his spoils!


I don't want to forget OG members that continue to stay true to sharing info and pushing the envelope.
