Great pics Ling. Can you find out what kind of wheels are on the white 745? My buddy just got the new M5 and he's about to go with Asanti wheels, trying to prevent him from going the bling pimp my ride route. Thanks man!

Thanks Jonji. Hope you guys had fun yesterday. It makes the event so much better when you can chill at a booth instead of getting bored after you've seen everything.

FINALLY!! All 170+ pics are done. Bright sun = nightmare for photo's. The event was good. I was a little skeptical about going all the way to Ventura but it was worth it. The drive home sucked big time. 405S FTL!

Group5 Motorsport is a shop here in SD (might be a sponsor here on MBWorld really soon). I get most of my stuff through them so I agreed to go. KW Suspension didn't have a booth so the Group5 booth was doing double-duty. I think all of the cars at the booth minus the 760 (soon to be though) was on KW's including Ryan Castro's car.

Great pics Ling, thanks! We had a blast at the event. The 30hr round trip drive actually wasn't so bad (yellow 996TT and pearl B5 S4).

We hope to see you all again next year.
