TRINITONY

Nice car....checked it out when I was there on Valentines Day weekend. I just bought my 05 997 S from Coventry MotorCar. Did you get a chance to meet with Brian (owner) ? Great guy and an avid enthusiast. Known him for years thru a good friend. Spent the weekend in CT and checked out his personal collection. V10M5, GT2, RS6, 500E, RRover Super Sport, etc.

Kevin (guy in your pic) is a trip huh ?

TRINITONY

lol..yeah Kevin is a trip and will talk yah to death, and I did get to meet Brian. Spoke several times over the phone with your friend Jim. He went over the car in detail with me. So I was pretty comfortable going forward....

And congrats on the 997...

Wait - it just dawned on me...lol..it is you Kevin was talking about, taking pics etc when you came to pick up your pcar..

kdurg

Right, Jimmy is the Mercedes buff...owning a 500E as well and just got a 996 Cab from Brian.

Glad you're happy with C43. It's a great car and very rare ! Good Luck with it. Have to ask, how did you find it up in Coventry ??

Small world that keeps getting smaller for sure.

I had been looking all over the net in the usual places, investigated quite a few, and this one popped up on Saturday, on Autotrader - think was Valentines weekend. The ad had just been placed and I shot off an email to them immediately , while doing the background checking into it. I didn't mention it to anyone on the MB forum, as I wanted to have first pickings at it. Couple days later Jimmy puts out a post, http://www.mbworld.org/forums/c36-am...c43-w-71k.html , at that point I knew I had to move fast. Brian at the same time emailed me Jimmy's number; I called and spoke with him several times about car, etc.., and even ur old car and his new car.

Got it. It's amazing how a simple post can turn into a sale and reaches out to so many people who know one another.

I briefly posted about thinking of selling my 4S. Got an inquiry from SWMIC (Shawn) in Philly and it was sold. Called Brian and Jimmy telling them what I wanted and within two hours they found exactly what I was looking for. The deal was done in a matter of minutes.

Good Blokes they are. I'd encourage anyone to check in with them if you're looking for German Hardware.

Very nice find. My next door neighbor had one for a couple of years and just recently, last year upgraded to an E63 black on black. I was blown away by the power of his new one, but the old one was awesome too.

Congrats.

lol..that same night after your post thinking of selling, I came home and showed wifey pics of your car. She was like buy it (kinda told her price point that it may sell at); now if u had put a FS ad, I would had to convince myself that I don't need another.

They're good guys and would get my business again. Infact anybody looking for a Pastel 4 door 97 BMW M3 automatic (rare car) or an Orange Bettle, two mint condition chick cars - give a Kevin a call. You won't find them (cars..lol) on their website, as they've just got them in.

TRINITONY

Tks Steve, ah..Spring is around the corner, what's the date for the next fun run? You have a clear shot this year, u know what I mean.

TRINITONY

My 993 mod money is going elsewhere...

Haven't actually seen the car yet, but these r some pics my wrench sent me tonight.

Stock..



I think I'll either raise the rear or lower the front a tad.

Looks great Tony! I would leave it at that height but maybe darken the wheels a little

JDHertz11

Makes mine look like a 4x4!!!!!!

FastBenz

LOL...what's up Tony and Chief. Nice pics (and *****) ! I'll post up some of mine soon of your new rides.

I'm actually working at CMC today and had some time to post....got another C43 up here. Well, it was sold here before and now its back...tell your friends Tony ! Nice 2 owner 1999 car, lowered with new AMG-like rims...sharp !
