Thought it would be cool to get some people together. Tenatively will be held at my place in Irvine, by the Tustin Market Place, late afternoon/evening. Steaks, hot dogs, drinks, etc. There are about 5-10 ppl getting mods done here locally, so you are all invited or anyone else for that matter. Short notice, but oh well, come if you can. PM me for details/interest, or post here if you think you want to come, and I'll post more info lateron. Posted in OT and E55, dont want to post in every board.

Thats what I was thinking.. I offered my tools and garage for this, but I think he already mapped out his appointments, and had a location in Huntington Beach for the work to be done.. but what ever the man wants to do! Steve, maybe you can chime in here with your thoughts?

Brav,

Would love to stop by if schedule permits. Could you PM the addy/directions from the 405 and 5 (not sure which freeway I'll be taking). It is ok for a conservative to show up, right?

Hell NO, Mark! Bad experience in NYC. Whenever the BBQ appears, Steve will loose appetite in installing the mods. :p

It's best to do it elsewhere.

Are those the corporate tickets? Will be down there in November with the family.

Anyway, wish I could attend the BBQ but a little too far even though I would enjoy the cruise.

CHANGE IN PLANS!!!!

OK, due to the fact this gig is for Steve, I have to change the date to the following weekend , October 2nd, since steve wont be coming to LA until the 25th.. SORRY for the inconvenience this probably caused, but I'd hate for him not to make it.

So- anyone who cant make it let me know, and I will compile a new list. Once I have that I'll try to come up with a list for people to bring stuff.

As far as time frame, Steve told me he'd be done with installs around 8ish, so I figured we'd do it from late averternoon (6ish) till whenever we get tired or when I have to throw your rowdy @sses out. Feel free to envite close friends/sig others, other benz ppl, just try and give me a head count.

Once again, sorry for change in plans.

New list, so far. I had an idea, might be easier if everyone just chips in 5 bucks, then that will cover the alcohol and food. Then we dont have to make a huge list with things to bring. If this is a financial hardship for you, then sell your car

Also, any other food requests besides steaks, burgers, and dogs?

1. MBenzNL (taxi?)
2. Brav (W211 E500)
3. mogussin (W211 E55)
4. Delphiro (W211)
5. Ducman (?)
6. dtmpower (?)
7. BigNipper (Audi/BMW)
8. Anaheim Drew (C320)
9. ElDiabloJoe (W211)
10. Noble C320 (..C320)
11. rusnakmb (W211 E500)
12. Jorel C320
13. MarcusBenz (The one and only!! - New CLK55)
14. Electro-E (W211 E320)
15. Wiedermann (C320)
16. FrankW (C32)
17. Saprissa (C320)
18. JoshK (CLK430)
19. NitroShredder (W211 E500) *maybe
20. Srgtfury (W211 E55)
