Very nice little history behind Group 5, I love it! You guys came quite a way! Congrats on everything!
Loving the new site layout very much, gave the article much detail!
"One car and client that might be of particular interest to the members of myMBonline is the notorious matte black Brabus Rocket CLS belonging to Ken Block of DC Shoes."
The article is  Ling and Troy!!

Thanks for the comments guys. If you all have any suggestions please feel free to post them. The feature was the first trial run and can always be improved upon for the next one. One thing I will say is that finding old pictures for the article was a bitch! The pictures you see on an everyday basis are taken for granted until you need them 10 years later at which time you say to yourself, "Oh crap where did I see them at?"

 You came pretty close on your guess.

Another awesome feature article. 
This type of stuff is what makes myMB different from other car forums.
The layout, the pictures, and the detailed articles are always top notch.
Group 5 Motorsport FTW

A GREAT read.
I am honored to say I have known Troy and been a customer of his and Group 5's since 1998 as he was the ONLY place in San Diego to get Euro parts. I was a 16yr old then with my E36 M3 and I was OBSESSED with his gorgeous Alpine White E36 M3. I remember paying $300+ for clear tails! That was the market back then. It's amazing how they can still provide amazing PERSONAL customer service and follow through with every word they say to you.
I hope to give them more $$$$ soon as I have the mod bug BAD! haha.
Thanks for the article Ling, great writing and layout!

Wish I had more pics from back in the day when Group5 was back at the old Miramar facility where AEBS currently occupies 1/4 of the old facility. I guess nobody saves pics or nobody had a digicam back then.

You're up next. Hope you're prepared.
