AMGfest in review
First off I want to thank some Non MBUSA people who helped out TREMENDOUSLY.
C43AMG(Dave)- It was you who took most of the venting of the event problems from me. If it wasnt for you the event would of never happened last year and it wouldnt of happened this year either!!! Thanks Again
Chappy(Steve)- Well your not going to read this for days, Hell you may miss this thread all together. Well you are prolly the man everyone should be thanking. After all that happened behind the scenes that I dont need to bring on the forum, you single handidly made sure AMGfest happened and for that, a million thanks. Arranging your work to make it up here was most def a great oppurtunity for us Northern guys to meet you
MD crew, You guys are TROOPERS... Biz I owe you a run... Ahmad, you really do need to get some of the lighting stuff working, lol... still a hot car bro. Ahmad's brother(Im awful with names man sorry), I owe you one shirt, PM or IM me or Email me(whatever) and send me your addy again, and Ill try and get it out this week to you
C55m80(Steve)- YOU WON!!!! YOU MEDALED(ok wooden plaqued) in Non Porsche, Modified class. CONGRATS!!! Seriously though, you have been whoring this event around the mercedes Forums EVERYWHERE. Thank your wife from all of us too... she was awesome for letting us take pictures and drive fast and yeah all the fun stuff of sat night. Thanks for being our tour guide through jersey, even though we lost Chappy and Biz(not the only time either)
ctC230K(shawn)- Thanks for being a good sport to all the jokes about the whole C23... I think everyone(including you) are in agreement its time for a debadging OR an AMG
And Finally to Everyone who attended Saturday at MBUSA, Saturday Evening, and Today's event at the autoX... its you guys who make this happen not me. I can make an event but if no one shows up, its really not worth it...
Today we had some friends competing and people showed up to watch, I was extatic to see that even in the rain. The dinner and drinks friday night, yesterdays photosession where everyone hung out and talked and had our wonderful "sunday drive style" of speed. Of course well with in legal limitations... This mornings breakfast... The events the led up to and surrounded the Fest were a blast... right down to getting hounded by the Montvale park ridge police department Saturday night...
I have so much more to write, but after a long weekend, Little sleep, and a long drive home... I am falling asleep at the keyboard as I type... Once again THANK YOU, Stay tuned for NEXT YEAR
AMGFEST 07 is ALREADY in the works... trying to determine a new location, some more sponsors And something to get ALL you LAZY *** ***** off your couches and to the events.... maybe some more hot female owners?
and as for there being more hot female AMG owners at next year's event... ppl might get upset if AMG's start to become a female owned car... b/c i know I've already gotten **** about mine... hahahaha
btw it was great meeting everyone!!





) to attend next year's "Fest".Pete thanx for the compliments but its all about getting us together for a great time.Big "ups" to Chappy for all his help.Saturday night was really cool,one of the best times I've had in a while!
it was great to meet and see all of you. sorry i cut out so early but the tee-time was waiting and I had to get back to the city.
i'm sure the photoshoot turned out very well (you all were in very capable hands) but if anyone is interested in still working out the photoshoot IN manhattan I'm still game - a few cars at a time though.
- combinations of SLK, E, CLK and C's color matched, near the UN building
- sedan combos in front of the Seagram's building
- short video shoot on the FDR and FiDi and Meatpacking District
the options are endless... just thinking out loud here.
all of you had great cars and I half my C230 look quite miserly in comparison. those slk 55's and cls 63 are starting to look mighty tempting. if only i could get rid of that pesky half-grand parking payment... grr.

CLK DTM and Ferrari F40 are my dream cars.
The Best of Mercedes & AMG

i wish there were more women car enthusiasts..! but you guys were definately a great bunch to hang out with
however, if you guys DO come across any hot women with hot cars.. send them my way and i'll recruit them into "Benz Babes".. I'll even throw in a t-shirt

for pulling this thing off for the second year in a row!
and to NOAH Y.
for sharing all his tech knowledge!
hey Pete, and all who helped organize the event, I had a great time and I'm sure everyone else did too...
about the debadge thing, I was going to do it friday but then it was getting late and starting to rain, then i wanted to do it saturday morning but it was pouring and i didn't have a hairdrier i could get to the parking lot.
anyway, i'm thinking about picking up a C32 in 18 months when I turn in my car.
Here's to a DRIVING event on a track like Limerock next year. And not during monsoon (hurricane) season. Like maybe in June.
