[Sharan Bains]

Axel,

You must be WELL excited !

The car will be unbelievable - what a joy it will be to drive.

I have only seen a few pics over the forums of Motorwerks, and doesn't it 
look amazing ! Absolutely sensational, as no doubt are the techs that work 
there.

That was a quick turnaround as well.

Look forward to some pics of the conversion - enjoy the ride !

>>Hi Axel
>>I myself, an east coaster, has made the treck to Satish'a place. 
>>Impressive I thought. I had a bunch of suspension work done plus and was 
>>rather pleased. Of course the drive to drop off the car is a real Bitch! 
>>Even worst is getting a friend to pick you up.
>>
>>You know though Satish is not the only competent person in that shop.l
