Too bad I could only bring the S550 lol, but hey at least it was a comfy ride from the restaurant to the garage lol, hope fully next time we meet up I can bring my SL65 (hopefully by then at least engine mods are done) instead so I can join up in the fun like in this pic
I think it's obviously what's going to happen with 3 C55s at a red light lol

And we continue to multiply...maybe next time there will be 5 C55's...maybe together combined should be enough to take on that SL65 haha
I think I'm going to go to Best Buy and get a decent digital camera. Tired of using my cell phone!

An update on the Springfield meet in VA. Decided to go check it out last night for a little bit. Arrived around 8:30 and only stayed for maybe 45 minutes since I had to get back home.
It happens at the Rolling Road commuter lot in Springfield, VA, 7909 Rolling Road. The turnout was HUGE. Unfortunately, when you have a turnout that large you also tend to attract some of the less mature crowd...however there were some pretty nice cars there. Seems like a fun place to go if you are looking for a race Talked to a nice guy with one of the new M5s, and another guy with an E36 4-door M3. There was a lot of American muscle, STI, Evos, Hondas, Trans Am, Camaro, Mustang, Corvettes, a gang of sport bikes rolled in, a few VW, some S4, S6 Audis, pretty big mix. I will say it was semi Fast-n-Furious-esque haha
By the time I left there had to have been at least 200 cars there and several people were still rolling in. I've heard about people doing stupid things at this meet and it doesn't surprise me with how many people were there, but it was fine last night. I'll definitely go another time.

Damn damn damn! lol sounds like I missed an awesome turn out! Really wish my car was working right. Maybe come next weekend I can get it up and moving. I rarely see an Euro cars there though. Generally a lot of JDM and American. There's a gang of Challenger guys who roll through, most of them are built by that shop in MD. Lot of Twin Turbo Setups. But regardless did you get to see any races Mulac?

List Of Meet Dates
I thought I'd put up a list of tentative meet dates so we can plan a few months ahead. Since we are planning the last Saturday of each month, let's shoot for this:
9/27/2014
10/25/2014
11/22/2014 - moved up one week cuz of T-Day
12/20/2014 or 12/27/2014 - I'm sure a lot of people go out of town and/or are busy with family over the holidays so we could do either of these days, but if people are tied up, we may just skip December and resume in January
5pm at Rockville Ale House. Park in the garage behind the Staples and the restaurant. We are going to go to the roof of the garage for some pics on the next meet. Hopefully we can get some nice photos up there.
Also looking forward to some cool winter shots with a little snow on the ground (but hopefully not so much that we can't drive in it lol)

Aaaand I just realized 11/22 is the MIR Track Rental Day...so we will all be there. Maybe we can just hit a place for dinner and some drinks afterwards in that case.

I threw this out on a couple of the other C and E AMG forums to see if we can get some other AMGs out. Didn't make it to the S AMG though, got tired of posting haha

Rainy today but will clear up tonight...forecast for Saturday is high of 79 and low of 53, not a cloud in the sky. Should be a beautiful evening for a meet!
I'll be heading over to Crofton to meet up with Jake earlier in the day and help with his interior CF wrap then we will cruise over together...if anyone is coming from that direction maybe we will run into each other on 495 and

My C55 is being inspected and I'd hoped it would be done in time for this evening. I am still deciding if I want to go because it'd just be my daily driver. May see you there...I'm a lurker on these forums post rarely/never from Hershey, PA. Look forward to meeting you guys! Mike

Bring the daily if you have to then, but at least you could meet all of us. I plan on doing another install day in October so you could bring the Benz to that. Last one we did a few weeks ago we had 5 C55's there. Should be a larger group of us there today as there are some other AMG'ers possibly attending. See ya there if you make it out. pM me and I'll give you my # in case you decide to come out just hit me up.
