[W126 Coupe] Charlotte, NC

Wed Oct 12 04:36:38 EDT 2005

Mike R,

I am currently searching for a person who will do just what you have
described.  I have found it very difficult to find a personable and
honorable person who is also in love with his SEC.  

I am currently considering changing from Eibach to HR for my springs merely
because I chose to purchase springs which require a skid plate under the oil
pan and makes the car ride like a truck.

Is there a way to polish all of the parts in the wheel well (calipers,
disks, shocks, springs etc.) wherein I will not need to consistently clean
them?Being a lazy person I can not imagine driving one of my cars to say Las
Vegas and then cleaning the springs!  Is there an auto cleaning system?

Doc

That sounds like what I had originally planned, but lost interest in :  
(

Meanwhile, Richard, I've done more or less what you want to do and I 
have some photos (which I'll send offline).  If you're in So.Cal., 
you're welcome to have a live look.  I'll be at the Rose Bowl this 
afternoon for the Bruin game.

Actually I just happen to have a zebrano wood ashtray left-over from my 420
SEL.  No other pieces.  Richard, my email is gdrakon at gmail.com, email me if
you still need the piece.

Looks like I'll be in Charlotte, NC for a month or two. Anybody need any
help in polishing front suspension springs?

Later,

You should hit up the Mooresville Dragway one thursday Mike. $15 run your
car as many times as you can from 6pm to 10pm (test and tune night). Will
you actually be in downtown Charlotte, or one of the suburbs (South Park,
Mooresville, Davidson, Cornelius, Huntersville....that's all I can think of
right now)? Just curious is all. Also, if you aren't normally in the South,
if you ever get the hankering for fast food, you should go to Bojangles.
Best dammed fast food chicken and biscuits ever.
Richard
