pics from the Northeast C-class...oops, i mean mb... meet 9/21

Edison, NJ meet 9/21

i'd guess that about 15+ people were there throughout the day. thanks for attending - a lot of fun and of course, it's good to have faces to the names.

way too much food (and bees! ) and drinks (i think some of it was alcoholic...)

mostly w203 c-class cars (mostly coupes), a w202 c-class, clk430, a couple of e-class, and an slk (who was driving by and saw us so he decided to join in - we gave him a burger...)

mbworld and benzsport were represented heavily. but no one had mbworld stickers... where are those stickers???

CEC reps showed up (i think 3 of them) - a lorinser kitted silver coupe and sedan (pics to follow). ray catena gave away a whole bunch of keyrings, hats, one mug, and maybe a few other things that people grabbed before i got there. (possible next meet at CEC)

mostly, we were ogling each other's cars (um... a few too many orion blue coupes were there...), listening to Tnat's thumping sound system, talking car geek talk. the clk did a burnout for us. slk boy kept cleaning his car but wouldn't clean anyone else's. loved the new bixenon headlights on slk boy's c320.


a few of went to ray catena afterwards to drool over the new SL and E class cars... that dealership is huge! couldn't find the new CLK in the showroom though.

some quick stats:
1 female... who drove a land rover. at least it was orion blue.
1 person all the way from Virginia!
1 guest (red slk230)
1 soobie driver (ok, he's now officially an honorary member)
all the coupes seemed to be C7 - people, get some new wheels!

here's an early panoramic (before some of the others arrived)

here's the CEC cars on the far right - silver coupe and sedan - and columbus' orion blue coupe. Tnat's black coupe is cut off.

Weird how it was almost totally c classes. Good to see everyone, even Silver_Lana (eventually - there's always one who's fashionably late).

Who came all the way from Virginia?

In the 1st photo, you'll notice my white E tastefully distanced from all the C-class riffraff.

what happened to the side marker in the silver C23 Lorinser Coupe? There's no evidence of a side marker at all. Did you replace the entire lining?

Yes, that is a whole new European Impact Strip made by Lorinser, which eliminates the side markers. The cost is $99 ea.
