Final Chance: NJ BBQ on August 21st

Well, in a last-ditch attempt to remove charcoal from the garage, I'm offering up to do another of our always-exciting, can't wait to see who blows us off this time, Edison, NJ BBQs.

First off, I'm sorry that there were people who were confused by the dates on the last meet. So, therefore, I'd appreciate no cross-posting of other meets in this thread. Thanks!

So, will be at Roosevelt Park, noonish, and I will be providing some of the normal bbq goodies, as well as a bribe for Rick to show up.

Post any thoughts / interest / job offers. Hasta luego.

Now, what did I say about cross-posting other meets? :p

I'm waiting on details of that meet, to tell you the truth. If it's an AMG circle jerk, then no, but if there's gonna be something interesting there, or free food, then I'll probably show up, assuming work's not too bad then. It's my bad time of the year.

There will be free food ,although since you're not driving a "AMG" you may be asked to help clean-up or do the dishes. (j/k) :p

Bloody hell.

I am going to my beach house (my RENTED house) on LBI that day. Maybe I'll drive up though. Gotta show off my new slammed suspension, since nobody else I know gives a damn.

Is there a rain date?

Damn, you did the trade-in? Cool.

When's it being sent to Renntech for the manual transmission conversion?

So, sounds like there's enough interest for the meet to go on, then? Rick, I'll buy your bottle of good stuff soon.

You've never heard of that conversion? They used to charge $5k for it; not sure how much it is now.

Rick will pay for it for you, just to see if you can keep up with his new and improved .

Why pay 5k to do something you already can for free? Simply throw the automatic trans gear selector into 2, 3, 4, 5 as long as you want.

Well, I'm off to singapore. ta ta for now. :p

Who is Yen? Or do you mean to say that the Japanese economic machine has infiltrated an historically chinese-dominated society?

oh wait...

No, sorry, I'm now in Jakarta. $10 beers in Singapore send me packing. Here in Indonesia, $10 gets me a girl to pour the beer in my mouth, in addition to the beer itself.

That's a tough one - people in our area like to keep things a surprise, until they finally show up and expect to be fed. So, any number from 5 to 20.

Yes, thanks to everyone who came - I was pleasantly surprised at the good turnout. That was the best showing of a local meet in a long time.

Hubert, if you could PM me the info for that guy who did your carbon fiber mirrors, I'd be very appreciative.

Those were all great E classes, I was impressed. Well, except that boring white one, of course.

SL - the new SLK is great, but try to be a little gentler on the tranny.

Hope you all can make it to the Columbus Day meet that's being organized; that sounds cool.
