Our waitress was hella cool, comp'd us drinks and never ever made us ask for anything. I think she took 20% off the bill too and it still was over 200 dollars. Thats what you get when you sit at the head table.

Yes and i was so excited until Carlos told me it was from HOP. I instantly refused it and asked for something else because Adam would get a heart attack if i excepted the offer.

LOL Doesn't surprise me - he's never had the ***** to agree to any third party dynos. I suppose everyone else's dynos are tainted and anti-HPS LOL.

Hey Josh,

I was surprised that you really didn't talk much to anyone beside just tagged along with Josh R. What's up dude? I came over and wanted to talk about your car but you wasn't friendly looking. Are you taking our differences personally? Dude, stuffs people said online does NOT defined who they really are as a person.

Are you kidding bro? I almost got sunburnt with all the talking I was doing lol. You never came up to me while I was by my car. The only time I saw you was when you turned down the dyno (first time I was told who you were) and when I was talking to Alex with the C55 (this was before I knew who you were). Even Adam introduced himself lol. Nothing personal at all, but there were tons of people there and I didn't even get a chance to say hi to everyone I knew (sorry danny!) let alone people I didn't.

I don't understand, please explain how Adam's feelings can alter your decision to have a free of charge dyno run on HOP's dyno? No offense, but isn't a dyno a dyno?

Tony you are a winner, and I will make it up to you !

I appreciate your gesture, but I cannot take you up on that offer.....the clan (Lisa, Linh, James, Steve..etc) are just givin me a hard time and vice versa...they're using me as the blunt of their jokes... ...it's all good and the meet you put together alone is gratitude enough

Carlos, you (and the rest of benzgroup) are truly an asset to us members of the forum, you do this out of your love for MB and goodwill….we as members appreciate you and can’t thank you enough…again the meet you put together was exceptional!! keep up the good work!

All the photos were uploaded onto MBworld. So i think it would be easier for me to upload them some place. Also the current pics are 800x600 res, i still have the high res 1s on camera, so lemme know if there's any preference in the resolution.
