With great pleasure I tip my hat to you all! Your knowledge, passion to a great piece of machinery, and dedication to helping others is what makes this place so special.
About my car: I just purchased a 1989 420SEL from Ebay (still can be seen: Mercedes-Benz : 400-Series SEL in Mercedes-Benz | eBay Motors). The only regret: is not a stick shift (I wish they had that option). Preparations are being made to have it shipped to me, probably at the end of the week. The car costed me $6,800 plus shipping from Miami (don't know yet how much). This my second German car, the other one was an Audi 5000 Quattro (kept it for 11 years :bowdown.
About me: I am a mechanical engineer, born and educated in Romania, worked few years in Austria, and now reside in Atlanta. I would say that my engineering knowledge got completed in Austria, while I had contact with German engineering, for which I have great respect and admiration. When it comes to regular maintenance I am a “regular Sunday church man”, and when it comes to using the right tools and parts I like using “surgical precision and cleanness”. I am so picky, I can drive somebody crazy … maybe that’s why I am a QA engineer… Anyway, enough with the chit chat, I just wanted to say hello!
