I had a feeling you would say that. Hahaha...

Seriously though, I'm pretty happy with the performance as it is (for now). I'm thinking about wheels/tires, and maybe (just maybe) a drop.

But unless you're running beside me, I'm seldom goaded into going very fast! LOL

I kind of want to get BBS wheels, but there doesn't seem to be too many that aren't already played out. Decisions, decisions.

Any suggestions, XRX?
HRE M40? it will look perfect and right price too!

I like the design of those wheels, but I think it'd look better in chrome or silver. How much do you reckon those wheels would cost in 19" sizes?

No, not too much, but I just felt the black wheels don't go well on a black car (though I'm sure some of you will disagree). I like the picture they have on the HRE website. That would look good on a black car, IMHO.

What do you think?

I agree, a slight drop and wheels will look killer. I would do a power upgrade if you start to get tired of the 451 hp. Anyway, those were some very nice pic's of the meet. Count me in next time you guys open it to other cars again.

I think that'll be the general practice from now on, to keep the meets open to all makes. I find it a bit amusing when we do a one-make-only type of gathering, because the photos inevitably end up looking a bit like they were taken at the used-car lot or something.

Glad you liked the photos. I'll be sure to notify you next time we have a meet.

BTW, how's your mother-in-law doing? Everything okay?

Ya, she is at home now and she is going better. She just needs to chill and not work so much, you know. But older folks dont like to sit around.

The photos on Page 10 are from the 2nd meet, Yazid.

We're planning another on probably early March. Are you flying in for that (with the car)?

Good to know she's resting comfortably at home. How's your missus holding up? She must have been worried sick.

That's what I thought! hehe you guys are nutters.. but hey, I'd do the same thing if I had the same enthusiastic bunch of people in the same area!

LOL.. I'd love to but I don't think I can afford that!

By any chance, has anyone in the forum experienced the AMG Academy?

Okay, we've had 3 consecutive days without rain, fog, or snow. What would YOU do?

Me? I washed my cars and took pictures.























Is it just me, or does the Audi sort of look nicer than the C63?
