What better way to end the year?
.....than doing a nice drive with your AMG brethren? We met early on December 31st and explored some of the most fun, traffic-free backroads middle Georgia has to offer. In all, we drove about 220 miles from south of Atlanta over through Newnan, LaGrange, Greenville and stopped for lunch in Warm Springs (home of the Little White House). We then headed down to Pine Mountain near Callaway Gardens and swung back North to head home. Two C32s, a W211 E55 and my W208 CLK55 turned heads as we decended upon many of the small towns. One nice thing about Georgia....the roads are really nice here! 
Walkie-talkies and V1s also kept us company
Here are some pics.

Most of my MB car buddies I have met through the MBCA.
What's the difference between MBWorld and MBCA? For me, they actually compliment each other!
BTW, when's the last time you rode in a Gullwing?

FYI....I've got something in the works for late spring....an AMG "reunion" of sorts with probably a photo shoot and some other fun things to do. It would be worth the drive over to ATL to attend this one
Here's a link to the last photo shoot we organized....
