It was great meeting everybody who came out today. The weather turned out really really great (after the torrential morning downpour)!

Will post up pics in a little bit.

It's not fair for you because it's such a long drive just to get to Vancouver in the first place. But the interesting thing I found today is that it really is terrific to meet up with fellow AMG enthusiasts. The guys were all really nice people and you would have had a good time, I'm sure.

We'll keep you posted on future events. I already have a place in mind.

I think this first picture is rather awesome. The way the heavens open up and the first beams of sunlight start to burst through the clouds is quite inspiring.



This one's quite dramatic as well.



You guys wouldn't get out of the way in this one. It would have been perfect!



Here's another one from Q.E. Park



Tops up (the SLK55s)



Tops down (again, the SLK55s)





The Whytecliff Mercedes Showroom (just kidding)

Yeah, it was a good time. BTW, did you see the black E55 on the way back into Vancouver? Poor guy, cruising along and then suddenly 7 other AMGs whiz past him.

Two other things I thought I'd mention:

1. I'm sooooooooo glad I got Black and not Obsidian Black (LOL);

2. Can you guys PLEASE wash your cars next time!?!?

Do they sell any other colors than black in Vancouver? Wow, that looks real neat, you guys are all into the mean and menacing look. Looks like fun, maybe we'll do one in ontario and everyone can showoff they're winter tires.

Haha...yeah, it seems like a popular colour. A nightmare to keep clean, though. And yes, you guys over in Ontario should definitely get togther and post up some pics. Would love to see some snow tires with chains!

Seriously, with the amount of precip you guys have there, it must be bloody murder trying to keep it clean, like a full time job, almost daily, you must have alot of patience, i would loose my mind washing that often. Most of the cars I have owned were always black, as when they are clean and taken care of properly they look sick, in the last two years I have changed to white colors and the irridium silver for my 63, must say that i sleep better, soooo much easier to keep clean. Did you meet Vincent, I met him in Dallas last month for the AMG event, nice guy, I think he drives a SLK55.

Yes, Vincent came and it was great to meet him. It was good to have someone a *little* bit closer to my age there. All the other guys are so young I felt downright geriatric!
