My E300 at the ranch!

Hey everyone, haven't been on in a few days because I went out to Paso Robles, CA for a little vacation. When I was there I felt bummed because I had to drive on a gravel/dirt road for about 2 miles! But I got into the grove and decided to take pictures while I was out there....so I took this picture and it came out the best. Took a couple tries to get everything perfect but I believe that was achieved. Decided to show everyone because I thought it was kinda like a professional picture, and worth while looking at.

If you want, just a thought, I was trying to put together a group of friends that want to ride the coast of CA together. And if that turns out good, we will eventually ride coast 2 coast! Let me know if anyone would be interested in that for the future (planning the coast 2 coast in possibly 1yr - 1 1/2 yr).

Eh, I wouldn't want to drive that much. If you want to meet early, we can meet in Irvine at "Cars and Coffee" (AKA Crystal Cove moved to irvine) in the morning on Saturday. There are a lot of nice cars and we can just stare at ours for a while haha. I assume that the brabus setup will take you a while :p

Perfect! Next time I go down to Irvine I'll PM you...Wouldn't be too much out of my way really because my grandmother has a house out their and I always go down every so often to maintain it. What are the cross streets? Not 100% familiar with the city.

I don't know about the cross streets much there as well. But it's an easy city to drive in. The "cars and coffee" is right next to the irvine spectrum right off the freeway.
