Thumbs up It's still on for March 29th.

Just the thread needs to go back on Diesel Discussion, if the moderator will allow it.

We'll try to get on top of that

I just talked to Aamer this morning. He just bought this car, and he is picking it up tonight, and lives in Fair Oaks.

http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w126-s-se-sec-sel-sd-sdl-class/1360392-84-500sec-amg.html

Ernie is his mechanic also, and he said lots of good things about him, says he doen't even mark up parts, and knows the older car like nobody's business, doesn't even work on the new ones. That's amazing. Reassuring too..

I think you guys found me my mechanic, at last!! Thanks a lot!!

You can invite him along if you want.

Thats why my family loves Ernie!


Hes such a good guy, and a cool cat. Very upfront, little gruff at first.


Once you get past the Gruff, hes awesome! Knows tons of stuff.



Ill talk to him, and see what he says. I am pretty sure he works on Saturdays though.

This should be the Diesel/AMG Drive.

Looks like a nice roster is shaping up.

I need to get some answers out of my friends.
