It is almost 12:00Am and Benzmac is still up. Why?

After 3 days of being up past 11:00 at the shop, I am now tired, but I can't sleep...

Why? my nerves are soooo shot, I will have to drink a couple of beers to calm down.

I FINISHED AND DROVE THE CLK-55 KLEEMANN!!!!!

Words can't describe the anxious feeling you get when a car accelerates so violently. Your body goes into a self-preservation mode and tells you to slow down, but you don't want to.

The result is nerves on end!!! This is the best feeling in the world! I will build more.

I am a NEW Kind of Mercedes fan. KLEEMANN, hats off to your engineers!

Benzmac..

I know that feeling.

When I was 5, my dad had a 1971 Jag E-type V12. The engine had just been freshly rebuilt and tweaked up, and the car was a violent beast for a 5 year old.

I can remember only what I can describe as being sucked into the seat, or the feeling of being sucked against the wall of that spinning ride at the amusement parks...

Sheer adrenaline. There is no substitute..

I can't wait to see the pics. now go get enebriated and enjoy your handywork!!

Congrats on the completion of the job!

Lucky Puppy!!! Sounds like a terrible problem to have to deal with - NOT! I would be up late after a drive in a beast like that as well, but probably at the ER for heart failure instead of at home for a couple of beers. Kind of makes my dream of an Upsolute chip for the C230 seem kind of worthless.
