hi all,

been loving this forum as a lurker for some time.....thought it was time I signed up and showed some of my rides. not all stanced (not to the degree I see on here!) but seriously, the roads in the UK suck!

so, as the name suggests, Mercedes is my weapon of choice:

1st 190E - mechanically pretty stock but lots of suspension goodies


it was also featured on discovery wheeler dealers - here it is with Mike brewer driving. I saw this pic in the merc appreciation thread - chuffed


and here it is at Santa Pod at my annual club meet:


wheels were OZ operas, 17x8 ET35 - 215/40/17 tyres.

anyway, long story short, I smashed it up at the nurburgring......so I bought another one and did this to it:



then i decided i prefered the original look, so made it look like this instead:


then i got bored, and turbo's it with a mossleman turbo system and some other goodies:




and got a mag feature in a mercedes mag:


then i sold it when i got divorced

while later, got myself an E55 AMG. big silver blog. very boring (although incredibly quick,....) so I did this:




hard slam with cut coils, black wheels/mirrors, AMG plaques, de badge, camo headlining (FTW!)

then i swapped that for another 16v which is currently being re-built with bike carbs and megajolt and some yummy brake and suspension tweaks. here it is after some major rust repair and chopping the springs:



new rims - staggered AMG's


more new rims - borbet C:


brakes ready to go on - WP Pro 8 Pots:


so, thats about where I am now....lots to go - might even start a build thread.
i also run www.mercedes-cosworth.co.uk - few more snaps and details over there

hello to all, i think i might like it here
