Couple more pics...

 

Hey exexpat, did you ever own a modded Mercedes ML320 at one point before?

 

Yes, that was my wife's previous car. Now she has the dreaded soccer mom van

 

Whoa.. Tell me the interior of that van is half as awesome as the exterior...

 

It usually is from Sunday evening until about Tuesday afternoon. By then the kids and dog kill it. All of these have the grey/silver cloth (which I prefer over the leather in the Europe-only Business Edition anyway). Since it is an MV with sleeper pop-top, I have the rear-facing seats, table, refridgerator and 180 degree swivel passenger front seat. More pics here (including interior and ICE):

And camping last July 4th in the mountains (notice passenger front seat below)...

 

Haha, I figured the screenname and location seemed familiar. I don't know if you remember, but this is asianml from benzworld.org. I'm the W163 forum moderator there now. We sold our 2002 ML320 this summer and picked up a new Camry Hybrid to replace it. And in the process I also picked up a 2002 X-Type. Fancy running into you here too and in full modding force no less.

 

Yes, I remember you. Lots of modding potential with the Camry Hybrid, but unless your wife is like mine and the outside of the car almost doesn't exist (aside from the color), then I suspect it won't be modded. (she doesn't know anything is different on the van aside from the wheels and that the headlights seem a little bluer, even then it took her 2 weeks to notice I changed the wheels).

I am a moderator on most popular Volvo forums, but find it tough to keep it up now that I don't own a Volvo. Do you find it challenging to stay on the W163 forum?

 

My dad is rocking a Camry Hybrid with the V6 SE lip kit.. Got him a set of 19" Axis Hiro's last year for his birthday. Now if only I could convince him to bag it that car would be RAD looking.

Jeremy, that van is awesome.... License plate idea: SIN BIN
