Hi at all !!!

I'm Ribel', 25 years old, originary from Corsica (ex-Italian island, now french) and owner of a wonderfull 2.5-16 :wub:

I've got it since 2 years, and it was a very old dream since I was young...

She's coming from Deutchland, almandine-red and full hydropneumatic suspensions

She's got 500SEC face, 17' wheels, and a little upgrade from AMG (not power-pack but some performance pieces - exhaust mainfold - cams - ECU - etc... I don't know
the rest of exact words sorry...) the before owner was a M-B employee so she's got a perfect "book"

I'm member of the French forum consacred to the 190 :

...and a Nikko01's friend!

PS : sorry for my poor English...school is faaaaaaaar :o

Welcome dude!
Car sounds amazing, looks damn cool too.
Still never made it to Corsica, but visited Sardinia, Sicily and the French Alps plenty!

We can't get enough pics on here, so post as many as you like.
AMG upgrades sound great, I'm sure you'll get grilled by the TwinCam crowd soon... ;)

oh, just to complete, I precise that all 16v kit is now full painted like frontbumper on pic 3, the original black was too old and I think it gives a new youth (the french purists hates this ^^)
some sport door mirrors (SLR type) are also in painting

This actually translates to:

"Hi mate, nice car. This forum's pretty good, but a has its fair share of retards.
I'll PM their names to you in exchange for a few more snaps of that girlfriend.

Your english is great, but I think it would be more fun if you and I communicate
in French, that way we can say whatever we like about the others. Could be a laugh!

Be warned, many members believe your car to be Pink."

...re-thanks at all ;)...and thanks for her :rolleyes: lol

...concerning the wheels, they're MIM PLATIN 8'x17', with AMG center caps
now equiped with Dunlop SP9000 in 215.40
before I was on 225.45 (when I bought it) but it maked me loose a lot of HP "at start"
I also think the differential doesn't like it too much

...concernig the color, I don't know the case on your country, but here it's a very very rare color, we're only 2 in this one at 190passion on 19 16v-engine
At the first time I wanted a silver or a black one, but 2.5-16 are now rare in France, or in very bad state, so I prefered an almandine with a good "book" (and the 500SEC face - I love it) B)

Welcome Ribel', nice car.

I love Corsica - spent 2 great weeks there a couple of years ago, lovely place especially for climbers! The people were very friendly there and it was interesting seeing Corsica branded everything - especially the coke!

...yeah we have our own coke and cigaretts production :lol: but it's anecdotal

You know Corsica have a special history and a particular culture, with our language, our codes, and our laws...for example in case of "problems", we never call the police
the result is that you can leave your 10 years children go out at midnight alone, all people know that if wathever appened, it's not the police/prison, it's the family who will comes :angry: ...and it's easy on a small place to find someone

the historical problem is we don't feel french "in our blood" but we have to respect their laws by the force whip.gif asskiss.gif

that's why we have today some problems, I think comparable to Ireland,
but with another history...and a fu***** small and nervous president angry.gif
