2002 CLK 430
Give a call to Wizard Werks in Chicago (off of Lake St in the City - The owner is Karim 312-291-9449). He/his shop have done a bunch of work on my CLK 430, and have painting on premises. Can't recommend them enough.

Hello everyone,

New to the forum, waiting for my 05 e55 to arrive in Chicago from LA. Can't believe the money I'm spending even before I have the car in hand. I hate to bring other topics to this thread, but thought it would be the best place.

I'm looking for respectable indys within the Chicagoland area to do maintenance work, install H/E and IC pump, and put up trunk and lip spoiler.

I appreciate all the leads and help.

Thanks!

He works on a lot of AMG's. From 250 HP merc to 1100 HP Mercedes...a lot cheaper than dealerships...and he talks and gives advice over the phone. Genuine good guy and a true motoring enthusiast.

cool lot of new guys welcome to the forum and glad to see more chicago guys. Heat exchanger and pump is a relativly easy job. I installed mine at my shop in around a 1.5hrs. As far as a meet again suburbs sound good as always but a mini cruise to somewhere sounds fun as well maybe grab some breakfast then hop in our cars and take a road trip up somewhere and maybe do a mini bbq?

2009 C63: <sold> '07 E63
I'm back in town after work travel so I'm game. I was downtown on Wednesday evening at the Second City parking ramp and saw an E63 with what looked like a different front end (didn't look like my '07). Anybody here?

for Cruise id say lets try for a early Sat or Sunday morning - otherwise traffic may suck. Lake Shore / Sheridan is always a nice route. For faster highway driving maybe 55?

Thoughts?

A drive north on Lake Shore Drive would be great, and then lunch?

Next Weekend?

Thanks

Next Sat is Supercar Saturdays Car Show. What about next Sundsay? Cruising around Chicago Downtown and doing lunch somewhere there must be fun.

How bad do you think traffic would be on a Saturday or Sunday morning? The drive is 116 miles for me which is no big deal so long as I don't add an hour or so of standstill traffic in Chi.

montrose harbor would be perfect free parking and if we want we can bring a few grills and bbq out there just a idea. But driving through the city would be pretty hard concidering how many lights,traffic and people will be out there especially if its nice out. We all lose each other. Lake Geneva would be nice to they have some nice resturants and bars out there.
