Back Again!

Hello! Some of the older members may remember me from before as I was pretty active in the past. Never really left the forum, just went quiet for a while and stalked it like pray. Until now

Been looking for an AMG again for a while. Picked up a new Daily Driver, 2004 E55 only 40k Miles and ridiculously clean for an 8 year old car. I have never seen a car with this many options in real life before, and I knew it was the right one I myself have been caught saying a car was fully loaded in the past, but only to find, oh, it has everything but this or that. But when I saw this E55, I was pretty surprised. Everything from rear door sunshades, to solar panels, to keyless, to distronic, to dynamic, it had it all.

A few pictures, excuse the cell pictures as I have not done a proper photoshoot yet. And the car is too stock at the moment





I look forward to helping out the community again as in the past. In more ways than before as will soon be reviled

Also as a gift, an awesome new deadmou5 song...

Always good to have someone that really knows their stuff back again. Sounds like you found a nice gem of an E55 as well. I'll have to keep an eye out around Chicago to see if I spot your car.

How so? Which part of the TOU did I violate?

I think that Aleks could help out a lot of members without fearing that he would be banned. He has a track record of helping people. I have no affiliation with the other forum, but think that he would be a welcome contributor. I wasn't sure, given his absence here, that he was aware of some of the issues this forum has been going through as of late.

Malicious much?

Oh, and excellent taste in music. Heard it for the first time yesterday and I've already caught myself humming it.

I hope you are joking. What happened with that stupid euro navi still pisses me off to this day. And posting in a thread where I say hi again and saying the I am a scam artist is incredibly disrespectful and unbelievably rude. Please refrain from conducting yourself in this manner.
