Wow Mark I gotta say I'm really impressed with how the pictures turned out! I love how Wolf looks in 1763&1767, and 1494 isn't bad either....

But seriously the pics look awesome and it was great to meet up with everyone, although a little weird when someone says "Hey BigPete123!" in person lol

Don't know why, but I really liked shot of the Lorenzo behind the 16V and the silver and red 500s' front wheels.

The "Horseshoe" was a good idea and it was fun to see "Drivers and Their Cars".

I haven't even checked the uploaded album, yet.
it was nice meeting you man.... loved that silver beast

Hey Albert!

Talk about "silver beasts", your car was wicked! Outside was an obvious 'work in progress', but i really liked the lights. What brand were the tails?
Tinting was too crazy, never did see the inside of your car!

Nice to meet you. Keep up the good work. Good luck in Alaska.

Zorro!

Good fun meeting you.

I think we'll have to have some more casual local meets, closer to home.

Fantastic shots - everybody is raving about them. Those are going to be floating around the W124 and "500" sites for sometime! I found several that I liked.

Let's set up an Enzo vs Lorenzo, soon. Spanish Banks, with the cityscape in the background, is good, or perhaps one of your gritty urban/industrial backdrops?

PS I think 2phast may go with 'your' Eagle One headlights.

Awesome time guys. Looking forward to another meet sometime in the summer or something! We'll have to hit Vancouver or Seattle next time.

I was super humbled by all of the sweet cars. I haven't seen so many 500's in one place. Defintely was green with fender envy! lol

And I definitely am not cool with people calling me "Bigpete123" in person. lol.

Pics are great mark, thanks for your hard work on those!

Zorro, you should have come for dinner with YVR, MB, and I . There was a Lamborgini in the restaurant parking lot that just had to park next to the MB's.

Andrew has pictures. Speaking of which, can't wait to see his shots from 'The Day', too.

Rik, it was a pleasure to meet you. Stunning car!

Run the border and come to Canada, sometime.

Big Pete123: Rik and I were admiring your car. We both thought it was really 'clean' and tastefully done. Good to meet you, too.

Hey guys, unfortunately I'm not as quick as Mark here. Looks like he's doing a great job keeping you all entertained anyway. You know how it is, Monday is catch-up day at the office.

Next time we do this, I'll see if I can ride out with one of you guys in town here. That way I can do some rolling shots. Can't really do that with a dSLR when you're driving!

I'll get to the pics in due time. Probably not too much tomorrow as I'm in a training seminar for half the day and it's my Birthday tomorrow, LOL Plus I'm going to a BMW (I know, I know) X6, 1-series, M3 launch party tomorrow evening. If any you guys locally are interested, drop me a private message or give me a call and I'll furnish the details.

VERY nice pictures Mark.

Makes me think that we need to get our cars together and do a sick photoshoot.

Thanks guys- I'm afraid it will take more than the grille to get it to "clean" status. I beat the hell out of the interior when I did my over the top stereo installation. There are some door dings and chips in the paint, and I need to have the lower cladding and impact strips painted (prolly will maintain the two-tone so I don't have to worry about color matching issues). I also need to have the grille done by professionals. I gave it a shot and I really don't have the patience to redo it. But at the same time, I shouldn't be complaining since this is an 18-19 year old car with 203k miles on the clock!
