Damn, that turnout looks even worse than our typical NJ meets.

And we don't get any tickets, either.

We need a NE meet in the fall somewhere between NYC and Boston.

I think this year we will take a break from them. Next year I may give MBUSA another call to have something put together again, changing it up with what we have done in the past...

You mean people will show up?

I wouldn't be surprised if MB doesn't touch us again.

Sunman will be in Boston on Sept. 29/30 doing installs/programming. I might be driving up for some stuff, and this might be a perfect time for a mini-Boston meet/Randy Moss roast.

Hey Cintoman, those are some nice pics, I'm hoping that others post more. Keep me in mind if you hear of any other meets. It would be great to see Everyone again that was at the meet, get a chance to know everyone better.

You were the last to go right? It was cool to see you swing your car around. I didn't expect to see that. That's a big car. Beautiful ride.

Thanks for the compliments Greg. I'll definitely keep you in mind, and I might as well start out with a potential meet we may have at the end of Sept up in Boston. Sunil is coming up for a few days. He does installs of OEM equipment that's usually found only on the Euro-spec cars. By reading the posts above, it seems like 55fanatic might be hosting a little something.

It'd be great to talk to you some more. It's too bad the meet was so short, and me and my buddy Glen (DestroVR6...with the Audi Q7) only got to talk to you after the drive.

Yes, it was a good one. Definitely unexpected, and cool to watch. BTW, your car looks great in the attached pics you posted. What a ride. Have you driven any Presidents or Heads Of State in it?

That would be awesome. That way, if it rains, there's no problems. I'm sure Sunil would appreciate that. Keep us informed of the plans as the date gets closer. And if your Newport meet was any indication, this will be an awesome time !!!

Yeah, too bad it ended so soon, had a great time though! Definitely think of me for upcoming meets. I'd like the chance to talk with you guys again. The ride at the end was sweet. I hope to see you and Glen real soon. Keep in touch Paul. Greg.

I'm one - getting the updated armrest for my car installed, and possibly some programming as well.

I'll be getting a room in Baaaaston on the 29th, so would be great t squeeze a meet in as well, if possible.

Well, I'll be going up, since it's less than an hour north of where I live. I'm going to be getting the Netherlands Setting (withOUT losing the Panic feature) installed, as well as Fuel Gallons Remaining programming. Any other programming suggestions while I'm at it?

Well, here's a list I put together of who's coming up so far. Add your name to the bottom if you're having Sunil do some mods for you:

1. cintoman - programming
2. tommy - programming and new armrest

Cool - that's what I've been wanting to get done. I currently have the NL setting and no panic feature. Not really a huge deal, but would be nice to get it altered like how you want.
