Welcome :wave: Post an introduction...with pics!
Introduction, hmm okay. Let's start with the basic and ramble from there. I am a 39 y.o. married male with a passion for racing as long as it entails more than left turns, and firearms.

My extremely wonderful wife works at Disney (for the Rat), has been featured in All You magazine, was featured in a documentary (Wal-Mart)and a reality t.v. show(Extreme Make-Over). She also works at Wal-Mart, does beauty consulting and scrapbooks in her spare time for family and friends.

Employment for me entails a few different venues as I don't play very well with others. Did F&I for both Daimler Chrysler and GM (loved selling paper), certified in both Corrections (worked at the prison) and Law Enforcement, and currently sell pepper spray, stun guns, etc. Looking to get my FFL in the near future to sell firearms.

Pics are as follows and in clickable thumbnail format; 1st is me and the pup, 2nd is me and the wonderful Mrs. and lastly is my sled (only I can call her that:shifty: ). Alrighty then, that should suffice I pray.

[ecangian]

:rofl: You write like me! What is in SoFL that Disney has? I love Disney and frequent it quite often. Welcome, intro was quite sufficient. :thumbu:

She was with The Rat prior to our marriage (Orlando Girl, didn't like the local cuisine, bad teeth and corn fed)and doesn't want to give it up quite yet (security?). That being said, she commutes, staying with her folks whenever she has to work, which is only like two weekends a year or so. I also like the fact that she gets all those free passes from them, keeps a cheap bastard like me in good graces with the family.:woot:

never mind my last post have to work till 10.15ish, but how late do you guys hangout till?

Usually pretty late. On Thursdays we try to go down to Poter Park down by SRQ Square Mall and then we go to Buffalo Wild Wings for $.50 boneless wings.

Sweet..welcome!

[DBV]

Hey everybody, just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I'm 23, originally from Berlin, Germany and recently just moved back to the Sarasota area. After seeing nothing but ricers around town :roll:, I'm trying to find some German car freaks to roll with! I drive a 2005 Mercedes C230 Kompressor Sports Sedan (its not fast, maybe "zippy" at best haha). I recently got a case of mod fever again and am switching up my look. I'll post some extensive pics once I get a chance. I saw that there used to be weekly meets in SRQ. Is that still the case? Where? When? I look forward to meeting you guys (and girls?) and talking some German cars. :clap:

[racer m]

nice Merc !there is still small meets at the Bealls Parking lot near Honore and Clark rd. There is a few that attend from this forum and a few from another. Its more of a Euro car meeting. Hope to see you around/ see you at the car show in two weeks in St. Armand's Circle. I also work out in LBK so look out from me.

[Hodge]

Welcome! I will probably be there this week at Bealls on Clark. Be there around 8pm!

Nice to meet you! Sorry I did not really have a chance to talk to you. Also, those wheels are sick.;)

Nice to meet you! Sorry I did not really have a chance to talk to you. Also, those wheels are sick.;)

Thanks! See you guys next time! I wanna check out your ride some more, I almost got an e36. BTW, don't wanna call you out or anything but I saw your back window. If you need a good tint guy, I know a great place.

Yeah the back tends to bubble real bad after a few months(its bubbled up twice in 9 months). Who is your tint guy? there is not to much check under the hood, just a intake manifold swap, cai, camber plates, and pss9's.

The place is called Tint Worx, the guy that owns it is a cool guy. He's up on 41 across from Sonic. Nice mods, oh forgot to tell you last time, nice rims to you too! :cheers:

Hey, just found this forum. Very cool to see so many people interested in European Cars in my area.

I'm Brian, 23 years old. Just got out of the Army. Was stationed in Germany for 4 years, miss it a lot. Fell in love with Bimmers, Audis, Mercedes.. pretty much always have been. Currently attending SCF (old MCC).

I currently own a 1991 BMW 318is, 2001 BMW 325xi, and a 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300SD.

Here's a few pics. Both have my dog, Watson in them.. he's a doof.

Don't really have any good pics of the 300SD. It's a beast, but it needs some work.

[Odie]

Welcome to the Forum. Thanks for your service man!
Had any luck finding folks to gtg with down there yet?

[Brian 318is]

Thanks.

Nope.. but I've been really busy with school, so it's been rough.

Hopefully I can meet up with some people in Sarasota.. there seems to be a bigger community there.
