Thanks and hope the snow wont stop you!
I'll be there...with bells on!

All this talk about SUVs has got me looking at the ML now. I hate you guys.

I'm still looking forward to meeting up with you, as are the others here, when the weather eventually improves.

Okay, well that was fun!

It was great meeting JikJak and 451/443!

Those kids at the BC Children's Hospital are going to be thrilled, I'm sure. Let's hope the hospital staff can provide us with some pictures of the happy faces on those kids when they receive their toys!

Oh, and I just need to add one more thing:

The C63 in the snow (with proper snow tires, of course) is absolutely amazing! It's not quite the same as having Quattro, but it is still amazing!

I'm seriously impressed.

No sweat, 451. As long as they're happy, that's all that counts.

Okay, weather forecast is predicting rainfall for the next 5 consecutive days. If this is true, it should pretty much wash away most if not all of the snow that mother nature recently decided to dump on us (thank you very much).

I think we should start planning a meet for mid-to-late January!
