Smile A mutual love of Mercedes may land me a great client!

Today, after I technical directed a television program (that aired live worldwide... just a little pride there!), I was talking to one of the camermen about his '83 240-D with a manual tranny.

He loves these cars just like I do. After talking about some local shops where we get work done on our cars, we decided to exchange cards with the information.

I gave him my card and wrote both the name and number of my mechanic and mercedesshop.com on it. He then gave me his card.

After getting home, I looked at the card for the first time. He works at the FDA in their television facility. I've been trying to add them to my list of clients for over a year. Here's my "in"!!

You never know how many different ways these cars can enhance your life!!

Howdy William,

I think the first choice is best. But the other two are good choices as well. Anyone agree?

Got me!! But only for a little while!

After having my account deleted (due to hotmail telling Bill that I had gotten rid of the account or something) I wasn't so sure the entire system had gone out of wack!

HA! I was curious and found this old thread that I started in 2003.

Turns out that cameraman and I now work together on a regular basis (later today in fact) and I did add the FDA to my list of clients.... I'm working there later this month. We also hired him to be the DJ at our wedding in '07.

He no longer owns that Benz. Now he drives some US made boat. But he's a big guy who likes his big sedans.

You never can be too careful about potential stalkers you don't know from the Internet.

I would recognize you, before I recognized your car.
