Hey Stryke!! Remember me from 6speed??

Welcome Stryke, your business has grown very rapidly for the last 4-5years!!! I still remember you back then hehehe. I need to get some watches, will give you a call!

Congrats on the X5, why didn't you get a Cayenne? I wanted the new Cayenne but a V6 is USD210,000 here.

Since you know Phil I would have hoped he'd point you our way. He's a great resource here.

I guess your stable of cars is okay if you're into beautiful, exotic, high performance, expensive motoring hardware.

Thanks for the welcome, guys. Deetz, I remember you from there. Weren't you living in Boston?

The X5 was an impulse buy. I went with my wife last week to the Lexus dealer to see about a new LS460 since I wanted another practical car but they were closed. Driving back through Bay Ridge Brooklyn we see a BMW dealership (Life Quality) and since I had a good experience with my 750i I said lets stop in and see what was new. Salesman was very nice and asked me what I wanted and what price range. I said none of that mattered and I had nothing in mind but excite me so he showed me M6, M3, another 7 series etc. but I needed a more practical car and when I saw the X5 I liked it. He said he didn't have the options I wanted in inventory but a dealer up in CT did so I asked him to order it for me and left him a deposit. Car will be delivered tomorrow and I will get to see how the drive is. I'm sure I'll like it.

The building is not in Manhattan. It is in Staten Island in the corporate park next door to the Hilton Hotel.

I was studying in Boston, but I have graduated and right now I'm working in Indonesia for 9 months already for my parents. Welcome and welcome again, I'm facing real life right now without my parents subsidy, I have to work real hard so I can go back to 6speed with a Turbo or GT3RS hehehe

Welcome again and people here are very nice, except that they are more quiet.
