2002 C230 Kompressor coupe, white

I drive pass the dealer in Thousand oaks every weekend and its not that far from my parents place so thats why i considered it. I tried to make an appointment at the one in Encino but they are always booked. I actually got my car at keyes and thats why i went there first, because i expected them to do a good job. But although they left my car a mess and the roof still doesnt work on occassion i was surprised that they actually gave me a 2002 c240 loaner since im not even 21. It is funny how you had to insist that they dont wash your car, when i got my car back from keyes it looked like they 'washed' it inside and out with dirty water and a 'hint' of oil and they also did not forget to add the complementary hand/shoe prints either.

So thursday at 7.30 at starbucks? I hate starbucks, if i go, i'll be the one with the jamba juice cup or if i am feeling daring i might go to the boba place across the street :p

It was great....

It was nice being among C cars primarily. Sorry I wasn't more social meeting everyone, so next time. Speaking of which, how about doing this as a regular monthly thing, like first Thursday of every month?

It was a cool meet. I almost turned back because the 101 freeway up there was jammed, but I'm glad everybody stayed late. Nice to meet you all.

Bandwidth Warning/Pictures

Ok, here are the pics, the lighting was terrible at night of course and I don't have a large external flash.

So I am gonna just put links to them in here (so they all show up) and post them offsite temporarily. They are of a small pixel size as well.

B Dole, how's that nav CD working? I thought someone at the meet wanted Oregon?

Anyway, had to take off for an offsite job last night and just got back.

Bagwell, I tried burning B Dole a Cal/Nev CD from the image and afterwards the car wouldn't take it. For some reason I haven't researched further, the Roxio I have at work kept locking up on the TOC write when I did a disk to disk, and wouldn't accept enough characters for the volume label that is on the original CD. I thought for a moment they may have done some cheezy bad sector copy protecting. But I did it on my computer at home with no problem. (Adaptec software, though they became(?) Roxio.) So you may need to name your CDs exactly what the original CDs (volume name) are called.

Trip out, after compressing the full collection with WinRar I fit it all on just two CDs.

I think you should be able to determine the original volume names from the txt file on each map. If not let me know and I will check the originals.

Ok, now the pics. This first car has my vote for best in show:

Edit///// arghhh!!! the forum won't allow too many IMG tags per post...

So, just gotta click on the last ones.

Next time in the day you'll get a great shot of it ;-)

What kind of wheels are those? They look very unique to me.

Even appear to have the five MB wheel alingment holes in them.
