Wait WHAT?!?! FJ declined? For pulleys? That's a bunch of horse****! Why'd you take it all the way over there? Take it to BH or DTLA... (NOT Southbay!)
The Eisenmann will make it loose HP. Faster? Psh
Mine is faster than Vic's, a K4, a Renn5, and most cars for the record. Get him to bring a MB. It is a nice car though. I do have a small ego promise. LOL

Alright, so I updated the Phil's post to indicate the official plan. If I left anyone off the list by accident, please let me know, so I can edit the post again.

I believe Cappa26 is goin' w/ a different caravan. I'll pm him to make sure.

Ill run anybody anytime, if I lose Ill buy the winner a beer and cheer he or she to a victory. Oh Angela, my car is running very strong since we readjusted my exhaust to have some back pressure. I dont have the TB so its still a little short of yours but I'd like to see how it runs now.

But when you say faster than Vic's make sure you say Vic's 55 because I have a 65 and that is another story at 670hp and 800tq

Oh by the way Angela- the Eisenmann will not cause the M6 to lose power that only happened on my setup on the 55 due to loss of back pressure- on the M6 it will probably give it a few pony's but I am not sure how much. Vadim would be the best person to call.

And yes this is an MB only meet per Carlos- Cars and Coffee is earlier in the morning in Irvine and any car is welcome there.

that's insane! once the SLR cams are in it'll be even crazier! damn, I'd like to see you run Vic's cars... the 55 or 65!

thanks man! yeah, I was gonna call you this morning and for like 5 minutes I was fiddling around with my steering wheel trying to figure out why my car wouldn't take me to the phone menu... turns out I forgot my phone at home in its cradle. so no phone, no phonebook.

What? Man you could have blamed it on something cool, like:

"My secretary lost my phone"

So, I guess I'll see you guys at 11:15. I'm going to be shocked if the Carvan that is joining up in Carson actually makes it on time.

Dude! I hope you don't handle your clients like that!...LOL

I can just imagine:
Client: Hi Phil. How does it look? Do you think I have a case?

Phil: Looks great! We can definitely help you out and you came to right firm.
(as Phil continues to talk, he frantically searches through the office to find the client's file, but completely forgetting the fact that he had left it with one of the partners).

I can just imagine:


ah yes, do you remember when I pulled up to status in that loaner 325i? I didn't get out of the car for like 10 minutes? I was on the phone with a client who had tracked me down and they were asking me about files that I hadn't even heard of (the partners were working on it, I hadn't been assigned to it), and I was like "um, we can do that, the law points in this direction... I'm away right now, but I'll check the records and file tonight and get back to you..."). It's a good thing a lot of the records are easily obtained online and I can do most of my work without the files... if not, that's exactly what secretaries and file clerks are for...

Added you to the first post w/ the official list. If you can't make it to Best Buy on time, we'll see you at the IKEA parking lot in Carson.

LOL...Yeah, I used to not trust anyone else washing my car, but after I had my 2nd knee surgery 2 years ago, it kills my knees to wash my car (especially during cold weather). Funny, cuz exercising isn't as bad an activity on my knees, but because of all the knee bends and squatting when I wash my car, I feel like an 80 year old man after I'm done.
