that would be great man.....I got there at 7:45 and had time to wipe some dust off my wheels.....I went to walk a minute, came back and was completely flanked by Pcars! haha......couple of nice ones too.....
it would be really cool for me to see all of our cars lined up.....
not to mention putting some more faces to avatars

lol, I was camping near the grey SLS trying to wait to catch that owner,
saw the guy get off the same exit as me friday night, but was going the other way....had VA plates.......
but yeah, getting a row for our cars would be great......I don't know why
no one has been doing that........
next time I'll bring some chalk and draw some stars on the spots.....hehe

Yeah, I almost slept through my alarm and ended up getting there at 9:10-15, there were no regular spots by the time. Some people being cute parking a beat up Isuzu Impluse and a Geo Metro in a few spots. I usually only make one or two C&C Raleigh's a year, when it coincides with visiting a friend in Chapel Hill. I brought my CLK63 Black Series to the one last Sept. I noticed most of the AMGs had along the curb up near the shopping center afterwards.

I talked to the guy with the SL65 Black for a while. The white 458 was his as well, he had his neighbor drive it there. And the Ferrari FF was what appeared to be his son's. We started talking about the 4WD system in it and how the rear transmission was the same as the one 458/SLS/MP4-12C mechanically, just software and installation differences. He got perturbed at the suggestion saying "no, no, no it's completely different in the 458/FF...much better." To when I mentally said, "O...K....." and wished him a good day.

I'm trying to make it down for the Greensboro Cars and Coffee as suggested by my new friend that had the new F10 M5 with temp tags there and the EuroClassica in Winston-Salem at the end of the month. Don't know if I'll bring the SLS, but I'll bring something interesting regardless.

haha, yeah, I guess a guy with that much 'car' probably thinks it all starts and ends with him......do you mean the short heavy guy was the owner?
and the Ferrari too? damn........

so you are the SLS driver? that thing is so sweet......I saw you going west off 40, I was in my CLS headed east...
I was trying to meet you for a chance to sit in the drivers seat LOL!
I honestly don't think people really know how sweet that car is until they're standing right next to one and can actually look inside the car and see the details..........
maybe you'd consider coming back as some fella's are trying to round up our cars.......

damn I missed my cars....

glad to be at my house again.......
sometimes 'vacations' are not really so soothing lol.....

here are a few of my favs from last weekend....
the SL Black was just bananas!!! I did not get a chance to talk to the guy
because he was always talking to someone else......
but someone told me they go for around 280K...so yeah......don't see one of those in the near future.....but damn is it nice to look at....

I do not know why there are still orange SM'ers on this guy....


this is one of my favorite features on this wide body......these side vents

rear diffuser on loan from Batman??

thought this guy was cool (from that angle)

damn if I don't love these elderly Jaguar E type's........


stay tuned for next month's exciting continuation of:

Triangle Cars & Coffeefrom Hyperion's perspective

They originally went for around $325k, but I've seen a couple go for $190-200k recently.

Yeah, that was me. I come down to Chapel Hill every month or two to visit friends. Next visit will probably be the EuroClassica meet in Winston-Salem the weekend of Sept 29.

I'm not sure my little C is worthy to be so close to DAS WOLF.
I like the idea. I'll start spreading the word.

That would get my attention
