thanks for the absentee spot.

Don't really know and even if I did, can't really say when I'll be coming back.
I do hope it's way before Aug/Sep.

EuroTuner magazine is supposed to be carrying a short story on our Oktoberfest Meet in Irvine. Supposedly in the February issue.
Was Jerry's wide-body C32 on the Dec05 or Jan06 issue ?
I haven't seen it.

will be checking by this thread from time to time.
We need to hype it on the other MB forums.
Is this one going to be an MB-only meet too ??? I hope so !

E55 (for sale if the right offer comes along)...too many others to list

Thank you for the maps Lisa and James. I hope there is nothing planned at the RB for the 4th. Lisa was still waiting for the web site to be updated.

I talked to Chris aka Brav this weekend and he is going to help out with the calendars and take the pics for us. I will post another thread with the calendar sign up. I might open it up to the whole board and have out of state people send me the pic via email. Some of the best cars are out of state. Your own car will still be printed on the month of your BDay regardless.

Anyone figure out the eating hole? Lisa...James???

Whatever keys I grab first...

I can't wait...

:v

If I remember correctly at the last meet, while I was rolling around the parking lot looking at all the different Benzs, we had someone called out:

"Lexani!"

And than proceed to rev their engine...

Who ever could that have been?

Come out come out whoever it was... I've an idea.

I can't wait...

Alas, they weren't so good from the recon reports. Bee even noted how steep the driveways were for us lowriders! He's a good guy. He said he would keep lookin around.

As for Fudd's and BJ's, they are probably out. I too would have liked Fudd's in Burbank, but its just too hard to get to at that time

And BJ's is another that is too far for what it is, a non-counter restaurant. If it comes to that, a regular sit down, there are plenty good ones closer so we don't lose anyone who would rather just go home than drive the other direction, etc.

Don't worry, we won't starve
