Let me know what you're looking to get out of it as well Bob. October should bring decent weather so we should put a meet together for sure!
I've seen that veyron at the pav's, sweet car for sure. Typical owner too lol. I'd be interested in checking out cars and coffee some time, if anything it would be a nice change of pace from the pavs.

There are a lot out here, maybe not compared to NY or cali but I still think we have a good scene. But long gone are the days of backroad street racing and huge 400 car meets like in the early 2000's. I think the economy forced a lot of people to get out of the scene and a lot of people grew up and are fine with a stock bmw or benz VS a fully modded car. Also a lot of people stay in their niche groups so there are big corvette meets, VW meets ect instead of one big gathering of all makes.

I think I am going down to Pavilions around 5 today. Any C32 / C55 peeps going? If yes, I will take my C32. If not, it may be the Miata.

I plan to make one of the Pavilion events when I get back. Will probably take the Jeepster if I can get the starter sorted.
How do you like your E28? The wife had an E28 M5 for ever. Much as I like the C55, there are things that I think that the E28 did better.

Unfortunately do not own a M5, its a oldtimer, so no roadtaxes in the Netherlands. The car has a lot of charachter and in very good shape, the way Im keeping it as well. Solid like a tank and no complicated electronics, it does have single point injection, boardcomputer, power steering!

My biggest problem with our E28 was the front suspension thrust bushings. They never seemed to last very long.
E28s are a bit thin on the ground over here in Dublin, though I do see the odd one. It seems like everybody drives 320Ds or 520Ds. I've yet to see a C32 or C55 AMG over the three years that I've spent here, vehicle taxes are based on emissions and fuel consumption which kills the larger engine market. Can't complain about the 45 mpg that my Ford Focus diesel gets though with fuel at ~$8 per gallon.

Hey guys,
I will be in AZ again from the 18th of November until the 6th of Januari. Small sabbatical after graduating for my Masters and looking for jobs..
So let me know when you guys would like to meet up?
Couple options:
- We could set up our own small W203 AMG meet somewhere in Phoenix?
- We could meet up at the weekly meet in Scottsdale on Saturday night at MC-Ds?
(https://www.facebook.com/pages/Scott...277945?fref=ts)
(7pm till around 9-10pm)
- We could meet up at the monthly meet cars 'nd coffee?
(https://www.facebook.com/pages/Scott...881973?fref=ts)
Let me know what you all prefer???
I know 'Precisionmike' and 'Enigma94' already and they are really nice guys! So I'm sure if we all can decide to meet up we will have a good time!

Congrats on the graduation man! I'm down for any meet. I've never been to cars and coffee so it would be cool to check that out, but either way count me in.

Thanks!
To make it more concrete: I believe Cars 'nd Coffee is every first saturday of the month..
--> So that would make it December 7th
Can I suggest this date and location to see who can make it? The more people the better!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately I might be looking into parting with my car, based on our change of plans for living in Europe the first couple of years. So for a really low but fair price, whoever is looking for a bargain and a car in Pristine condition could check it out..
(The condition of the car is really astonishing and hate to let it go...)
