Thank you for your very useful information etyu.
I just went to the dealer today to get my windscreen, but they don't have it in stock. So i'm going to order it from MB-schaefer ebay as you said I can save some $$ on it.

Ironically, I'm going to be east of Sac on Saturday at my nephew's birthday party. Don't think I didn't try to figure out a way to swing going to both!

Make a couple of passes for me and count on me being at the next one as soon as the 55 is broken in.

Wonder if the bolt pattern on the 55 would match the ones on my old drag slicks.... ;-)

Hey web, have you ever checked out the gathering at Milpitas Square, I think they do it every friday night. I passed by a couple weeks ago and I saw a 911 turbo, GT3, and a Saleen parked right next to me~!!

Forgot to tell you shipping is about 47 to 49 Euros via German Parcel Post, airmail.

I didn't know there was a gathering there. I used to "hang" on El Camino down in Santa Clara. That was more about sizing up the street racing tho. Around midnight we'd race down by the theme park, or out to Trade Zone in Milpitas.

I'll have to take a roll by on a Friday night!

I've done eBay before, but others have purchased from this German guy before? I'd hate to spend this kind of coin and have some problem with it.

I didn't know either but I saw they were gathering on Friday night 3 weeks in a roll while I was there having dinner. Starting like around 10:00pm. I saw brunch of s2000, STI, M3, but didn't see any MB though

.....
Most remarkable was the Saleen~!! more than 30 people were taking pictures and chatting with the owner.

I purchased mine from MB-Autohaus at ebay. It was my first significant purchase (in terms of mulah/money) and it came out fine. Several have bought from MB-Schaefer and are satisfied. I had requested UPS or FedEx from MB-autohaus but they sent it by parcel post instead. With MB-schaefer they were able to accomodate Bruce_from_Canada's request for using DHL.

I wanted a Saleen Mustang for years, but then they went to over the top flashy for me. I'm more into discreet firepower... :-)

**webslinger** · 06-07-2007

I wanted a Saleen Mustgang for quite awhile, but the newer ones became to flashy for my tastes. I'm more into the covert action.
