So Cal - Calabasas meet...Aug. 28

Hey guys and gals - On the last Sunday of every month, my friend organizes a big meet at his coffee shop in Calabasas with various cars and car clubs, including the Ferrrari and Porsche crowds. So he and I thought it would be great if the MBWorld crew would come out and represent the Benzes. Already confirmed are the Ferrari guys and the new owners of Meridian (with an SL65), as well as some others.

The location is right off the 101 freeway at the Valley Circle/Mullholland exit.
Date : Sunday August 28
Time : 8:30 - 9am (typically when people show up) and goes for a couple hours.

If you have other friends who are interested, please let them know. On most occasions, there usually is a canyon run after, so I will double check on that and let you guys knows.

The address is:

Village Coffee Roaster
23351 Mulholland Dr., Woodland Hills, CA 91364

If anyone needs directions, please let me know. It's right off the freeway and easy to find.

In addition to the Ferrari's and Porsche's, the Lambo's will also be there. Regarding the canyon drive, my friend said he cannot "officially" organize it anymore, but that guys do get together for drives.

The list so far:

Tmans
Josh K
Fast55
RawAMGPower

I'm planning to go. I'm just wondering if anyone else from here is still planning to go. I'd feel kind of out place being the lone Merc there.

Here are some pictures from today. Got the camera kind of late and missed the other cars. It was nice meeting Richard (RawAMGpower) today and hopefully some more MBWorld peeps will make an appearance next time.

That CLS55 is a Meridian show car. It has every RENNtech option part installed on it i.e. ECU, crank pulley, headers, carbon air box, thorttle body, brakes and wheels. That SL55 is also there's and its modded the same way.

I don't believe RENNtech makes cams, but I can find out. I'm actually going to stop by Meridian hopefully sometime this week and can find out then. If they do make cams I might consider getting them.

Actually last time i enquired they did make cams but this was a couple of years or so ago so they might have stopped making them. In any case if you can find out how much rwhp/crank it's making that would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
