Thanks for uploading the picture, R! Too bad I didn't have my camera with me that night, or I would have snapped a few shots myself.

Anyway, we had a small gathering today and a very nice drive as well, from Richmond, BC all the way out to Harrison Hot Springs, with a charity event to raise money for BC Cancer. It was organized by the fellas over from the Lamborghini Club.

Here's a few random pictures...(see if you can spot the solitary C63)

While it was fun cruising in to Harrison with an entourage of about 30 or 40 exotics and sportscars, coming out with just XRX behind me and then having the chance to play with a Ducati 999 was awesome! You should have been there!

7424XP is very safe, there is no way you can harm the paint with it!

Very nice tool to use for swirl removal.

I am using a rotary now since it's much faster at polishing than the 7424xp,heres a 50/50 shot done on a ML350

There'll be a Whistler run coming up soon, Vince, with the Lambo and F-car folks. Should I put you down for that?

Drove next to a Blk C63 on my way downtown today on Main St around 2-2:30pm. Pretty sure it's someone on this forum. Was in my Blk C55.

Love that exhaust note. Jealous.

There isn't just one, but two! I think the Richmond night market is still open in September, but don't quote me on that.
