no unfortunately not... in the pack of 70+ cars we did have some exotics, some sporty luxos, and then some really crappy cars... there were a few Taurus Shos, a couple civics, a 5.0 mustang(he was supercharged so I guess its almost ok) and an oldschool galant VR4 who got a ticket, lol

Yeah, yeah, my car was dirty...

You know, it didn't get any cleaner when you kicked up all that dust peeling out of the dirt when we had to do that u-turn.

Note to self...don't ever drive behind an ML55 on a dusty unpaved road. 4 massive wheels worth of dust in your face will ensue.

Cheers on a great run. Thanks for the invite! We should do another get together soon. And this time bring the Nav CD Pete! I'm still waiting to see how the Pioneer works!

This cruise was definitely what u’d expect from a cruise, I must admit, I never saw that many AMG's rolling together in my life!!! Great run guys, I will be posting some pictures very soon.

By the way Fanatic, I think I might have recorded the U-turn part, I’ll check with Proff Griff since he has the video. And I guess sorry for dusting your car… I couldn’t hold the temptation of flooring it after watching your HUGE SUV spinning in my rear view mirror.

My favorite part was when the by passer black S55 joined the cruise for few minutes; we almost had all the AMG Collection rolling at one lane!!! OMG

24th is no good for me I'm afraid. But I am definitely game for Casino run. I can get a free room in Foxwoods, will see if I can finagle some more free rooms, but I doubt it since weekends are usually really busy.

As for Fords...as a car enthusiast in general I find redeeming value in all things automotive. Don't be too hasty about excluding any marques. Although the SHO may not impress, I have a friend with a Ford (GT40 that raced at Le Mans ) that will put all our rides to shame. If time or distance permit we can hopefully see it and other amazing machines in our NE gathering! There is some pretty impressive machinery out there with a Ford engine. I'm pretty sure you guys were just messing around anyway.

Oh, and thanks for going psycho with the pics Pete!

Cheers

BLK HALO,

I took about 65 pictures and none of them came out. I was pissed! I watched the video and your girl did an excellent job. Thanks. I haven't put it on Dvd but will get around to it this week. I wish I knew how to download it onto the computer. Oh well. I will call you this week to hook up and give you a copy.

I had a good time, I just wish I caught up to you guys when we first left.
