I have a couple of friends over in Greece... i should be going over anytime. I wanted to ask, what suspension are you running?? Also, most importantly, what are the specs on the rear tire/wheel... dimensions & width... i love the stretched look, any rubbing issues under HARD driving / cornering...... im currently running 265/35 rubber on 18x9.5 wheel, it rubs under very hard driving (fenders rolled).. and I also feel they are too big for the 225/40 front tires... | |

| OK, Kev, now you've got me really confused. Your currently in Germany, you were from Vegas, but your car has Florida plates? Are you in some sort of witness protection program or just need to leave when the authorities get too close? (JK) Steve |

...you found me out. No, long story short is I lived in Japan with my wife (she was active duty Air Force), then I left a year early to start flying for a commercial regional airline in FL. I bought the SLK, as a gift for her when she got stationed in Vegas (Nellis AFB). The flying gig went belly up and I moved to Vegas where we bought her the Vue and I kept the SLK (nice trickery, huh?) then she retired and I got picked up to work here in Germany. Sound confusing? You should see my resume for the last 20 years...LOL.
