yeah, saw your car in San Diego, thanks for coming down !!
really appreciate the appearance !
I too love the blue stock hue that these new SS have.
My wife's C320 SS has that blue hue, and she doesn't want to tint the windows either because of it ! Go figure.... but i understand. It looks great !

nice ride, hope to see you at the next big meet in Irvine (late Sept / early Oct)... stay tuned !!

yes, stay tuned !!
it will be posted in the EVENTS & GATHERINGS forum in the next few weeks.

Basically, it will coincide with the grand opening of the MERCEDES-BENZ Classic Center in IRVINE.
As a follow on from the July 9th Encinitas Summer meet with 85+ MB/AMG cars, this meet will be even bigger !

There are 4 main BIG MB/AMG meets in SoCal each year, and this is one of them, that you don't want to miss !

Spring: LA County
Summer: San Diego County
Fall: Orange County
Winter: Rose Bowl

stay tuned.........

Carlos
