Sorry to have missed this GTG.
Looks like fun.
I'm surprised there isn't more photos of Class C jay's 240... That thing is gorgeous!
How 'bout having the next one here by Evosport?
Glad you all had fun. Thanks for the pics.

Some of us got there at 2:30, stayed till 4:30
Came home with a sun burn. We could do like the MB club does, meet in a convenient place in the South bay and cruise to where marineland used to be, a nice pleasant drive near the ocean. Also makes for some great photos. Also they have a nice place for BBQs in Long Beach. It was near 100 in San Fernando and only 73 near the 405 south of LAX

Front C32 brakes and polished C7 rims.
I can't wait for Evosport to get the parts in.

Are those C7's chromed, or just stripped & polished? I really like that look...

I asked Mark the exact same question. They are polished and look great. He says he hasn't touched them in a year! Looks like chrome from a distance.
I have known for a long time, MB will not alow a chrome wheel on their cars in Germany. Yet many MBs in USA have the chrome rims. Good platers say they don't introduce hydrogen embrittlement. I wonder the cost? You can get the rims chromed for $150 each, I assume it is between $100 to $150 for polish.

I say we do another meet before the summer is over. This time lets do it by the beach or somewhere cool. Afterwards we can take a nice drive through the canyons or something. Maybe we should meet somewhere like santa monica or Malibu?

Can you elaborate on polishing out C7's? Did you do it yourself? I've never been a big fan of chrome wheels on the Coupe (and no offense to those who have them), but I like the C7's for some reason. Maybe because it's a little bit stock, a little bit custom. TIA
