thats a pic from last fall in my city. I was driving along, and i look in my rear view mirror and i see a ferrari, and i slow down to 25 in a 45 and wait get up next to him at a light talk to him and snap some pics. It was a 6 speed too, cool guy. When the light turned green he took off and let me hear that 3.6 Liter V8 Symphony.

Yeah, I missed SoCal for the same reason why I missed the meet on saturday. Next time, I'm ditching my friends event and going to attend each and every meet from now on.

While I was there I couldn't help but notice the Beemer & Audi guys acting like A$$'s skirting back n forth , revving through the parking lot.....

Let me clear this up. THe Jettas and the ONE BMW guy with the 330ci were acting like tards, but my friend in his M3 never revved, skirted or did anything out of place. He acted with complete class, and never even put an inch of rubber down in that parking lot.



this is his car.

another reason to keep MB meets solely for MB's.

also, sounds like it happened again.... people got lost going to FUDDRUCKERS.
Have we not learned from all the MB meets we've had ?

give everyone a map and directions before we leave, and make sure everyone knows we are leaving, not just 10 people getting in their cars and racing down the freeway leaving everybody else wondering what's happening !?!!

for future meets, recommend a SET time when everyone can leave at the same time to the same place, so we don't loose anyone, and stragglers can catch up at the next way point or destination.

carlos, this last time parking was a *****. my brother and i got parking right in front of fuddruckers, but it was the fuddruckers in burbank, not pasadena, so that messed it up, plus the traffic on the 134. it got a bit gnarly. i totally agree, that we need maps. next time though we should do the pasadena fuddruckers and not the burank. burbank was nice, but parking sucked out the @$$, i was hoping to **** off some old car drivers. LOL

I agree. I ended up giving a few people the exact address (yourself included) to Fuddrucker's Burbank, but didn't get to everybody because many were in a hurry to leave. I'm know a few who got lost in the bad traffic at the 134/5. All the parking at the Burbank Fuddrucker's was in the structure in back, but not everybody knew that (myself included --lucky guess).

Next time we meet at the Rose Bowl, let's stick with the Pasadena Fuddrucker's. Better traffic AND parking makes for a more enjoyable experience....
