You mean S55.

Did that guy ever email you back about the decals? I sent him a email, but still havent got anything back. Hopefully things come through, even if I have to donate!

Not yet. I hope he does though. Ben was way to chill not to deserve a Decal. I wanna put one on my Jeep too.

No P Car for you my friend... but the E55 has all 3 stages done on it and will have new shoes and brakes.

E55 (for sale if the right offer comes along)...too many others to list
[QUOTE=Lexani]Ah! Quite right! We will need them for Gladstones-- but, I'm going to be like the first one there so Im not going to have any cones.

Ok...I am talking to the wall. Gladstones will not fit all of us. Malibu is a mom and pop type of place and all the parking lots are small. It's cool that we have a big turn out but we need a new turn around place. I am busy this weekend with editors, editing the book I have coming out and I can't go find us a place. Does anyone know of another place? Brad can you take a cruise tomorrow?

I'm having second thoughts about joining the cruise in a non mb, if there is going to be another American car I.E. Corvette, Viper, etc. I'll consider it, but honestly I'll kinda feel like I'm crashing in/cheap tagalong without one of my family MB cars. Here are some pics of my car for kicks since one of you asked. I still might stop by just to check out some of the rides that will be there. By the way today I went to Newport Exotics ( I think thats the name, its the smaller Exotic place next to the place across from The Balboa on PCH). Anyways they had a silver Carrera GT and it already had a Ben Keaton Decal on it. I asked the guy about it but he didn't really want to talk.

No, no. Join the meet. We have Vipers, Vettes, hell, we even have a GT Mustang or two coupled with a SRT-4 or two. No worries. Course, theres always the V12 crowd...

Talking to the wall! LMAO!!!! I haven't heard that in ages... ok, I have a plan though... we could eat at Gladstones? Its a change in the meet yeah, but not a big one, surely Gladstones can support 80+ people, right? Plus their vehicles, right? And than come back down to Huntingon Beach and park infront of Expo on Goldenwest, I believe. It would be night, and it would be awesome. A group of 80 or so cars parked in a parking lot at night-- it would be Fast and Furious galore minus the rice rockets. :p

Fred, what do you say?

If not, we can always still raid Gladstones and if they kick us out, well... they kick us out...

Sorry Lisa! Long story, my brother never found the time to make me an account on his webhost so I can upload the video.

then I asked sean since apparently his dad runs servers and he has free unlimited space and when I asked him if I could upload the videos for you, he absolutely said no so therefore I was ***** out of luck. Sean, don't even deny it! I have the AIM conversation to prove it.

Anyways, I'll possibly upload them to a temporary free account tomorrow night since I just got home right now and I'm pretty....yeah. Sorry for the delay lisa!

I have to disagree with you. Toyota Supra and Honda S2000.

So are we meeting at Gladstones? Once we fill up their parking lot we'll take over the 76 gas station too?
