you can thank him yourself when we go to pala for a lunch meeting with jamie's boss. i pitched the poker run to micheal jamie's boss on sunday nite and he said come out for lunch and we will talk about it.

so next big one will be in 2006 prob late jan or early feb. it will be more then likely a land based poker run to pala casino. i am guessing we will all meet at a place in OC....maybe tj's and then leave from there on the poker run. i dont have the details because carlos ramil and i need to make a date to go to pala for lunch.

i went to evo today with tony to check on slamming a kleemen charger in that slk and brad and i agree that the next MINI event is go cart racing in CORONA at that place i posted. so everyone should get some practice in because we are going karting. i would guess late nov or early dec. brad had all of it figured out and was fired up. he was talking all kinds of race jibber jabber. all i know is i would get to lead the pack because he said the heaviest go 1st and the lightest go last. so chris and sean are DEAD LAST!!!

what you all have been waiting for the 1st video. ramil finished this tonight. he is going to reencode it tomorrow so no *****ing about quality

please pm me on the benz group forums. i will give you access to your own directory to upload your full sized photos. please watermark them in some way to show that you are the true owner.

After seeing the pics and the vids i noticed a lot of cars don't have front license plates. Now i never planned on putting mine on but soon found out that the parking enforcement on my street check if cars have front license plates (sometimes i have to park the car outside). So i'm just wondering, do you guys ever get any trouble from not having them?

You missed the taller very very skinny waitress that walked in later that day. She looked like she was on the Lindsay Lohan Diet.

Thumbs up Irvine Meet - October 15th

Thanks to all who put that together! Incredibly well done. Never seen so many E500s in one place before. Incredible CLK with the "wild" doors. Loved the Brabus Smart! Coming in 2007 I believe he said. My daughter loved the Fletcher Jones R500. Wanted one on the spot. Pretty much confirmed the SLK55 will be the next ride for my wife. Great job. Even had GREAT weather! Kudos to everyone.

I'll give you a call if i'm going or not. Dude that juice bar at $5.41gal (last time i was there) gets pretty expensive but it's all worth every penny! Actually there's a 76 in pasadena that carries 101 too but haven't checked that one out yet. I might though so i don't have to drive all the way up there.
