Smile Pictures from the Dallas meet 6/30

My golf game got rained out, so I went ahead and downloaded some pictures. As you may recall, I was running late and took these pictures in kind of a hurry, so please excuse the quality .

This first one is of is of the 4 cars lined up, hoods open. On the left is jswedberg's silver C32, next to that is MB-BOB's Desert Silver C320, then comes my black C320, and finally on the right is C230Komp's Magma Red C230.

And lastly, the upgrade king's clear side markers. Sorry I didn't get any other pictures of his various mods: Sunshade, phone mount, Compass, and of course, the famous dead pedal (just to name a few)

Thanks to C230Komp, jswedberg, and MB-BOB for showing up on such a dreary day. Hope to see you all again (Can't get myself to do the Texas thing yet and say y'all) .

Nice Pics, Scott. Thanks for remembering to bring the camera! At least we can now prove we met.

Hey, Jim, I just noticed. You don't have a front plate, either. Ha!

Hey, Coupsters. These front shots show the difference in the grilles from the sedan to the Coupe. We often get questions here whether the grilles are interchangeable.

I think MB-BOB needs more angle of attack on that wing. Its much too flat.

Welcome to the forums Susana.

Looked like a fun meet.

What's this talk I hear about Bob's custom compass display?

John, there is a veeeeerrrrrrryyyy long thread about compasses somewhere on this forum. There are photos, sketches, and more info than you can imagine about which compass to buy, where to mount it and how to build your own brackets to mount it in the ashtray.

Thanks for posting the pics revstriker! Y'all had some nice rides. (I can do that Texas thang!) I had fun, and would still like to get together when the weather is more cooperative. I'd like to check out jswedberg's AMG a little (lot) closer. Maybe a few more folks would show as well.

After reading the other thread regarding the get-together, I must say that the visions of MB-BOB in a studded collar are a bit disturbing. Please Bob, leave it at home!

I believe it was leftover floormat pieces and pieces of cut-up business cards SuperGlued together..

BTW the wing's WAY too small!

And MBOB, I agree, studded collars and Speedos should best stay in the privacy of your home!

Eeeeeuuuwwww, the visual imagery!!

I too thought that the red looked nice! I especially liked it with the dark pano-roof! Of course, the C7 package (I think it's called Evolution(?) in Canada) makes it look that mich nicer too! So what color did you end up getting?

Welcome to the forum....
