I'll call the restaurant and advise we have a small group coming Thursday. The name of the place is Panchos Restaurant and Cantina, 2641 Buford Highway NE, Atlanta, GA, (404)325-2898.

This place is easy to get to.

From I-85 (North or South), take the N. Druid Hills exit and head towards Buckhead (North/West). At the next big intersection (Buford Highway), turn left. Panchos will be down on the left about a mile or so.

See you there

Probably between 7-7:30.....may end up being later depending on how many show and how many cars we have to check out. Assuming the weather is decent, they have a nice deck that overlooks the rear parking lot.

Nothing like sipping a Margarita and staring at Mercedes

Thanks to everyone who showed up. It was great meeting you all and seeing your rides.
We really need to plan a gulf coast trip of riding and gambling. I'd recommend late August or after to give the High School kids time to be back in school.
Let me know what you all think so we can start planning and have a good turn out.

Thanks again for the hospitality.

Well, according to AlpharettaC32, my CLK is a 'factory defect' Can anybody host some pics of a CLK55, SLK32 and C32 drivers getting arrested for shenanigans?

If the losers had blocked the cops like they were supposed to at least one of us could have gotten away.

Joey,

Are you still in the joint? I used my AAA card - like a "get out of jail free card".

I think 430 called his Hooters girls and they sprung him. Problem is they left a bunch of fingerprints on the SLK from the buffalo-wing dinner.

You Georgia boyz aren't showing the traditional southern hospitality by letting me stay in. I need to get out so I can go home and cut my grass. They won't take my AAA card and they said you all maxed my credit cards out at Hooters. Must be eating wings for breakfast.
