Always a fun time Tom, hope to see you at the next meet. Those roads were awesome, some caught me off guard with how tight the turns were. Don't do too much to your car, I won't be able to keep up!

Thanks guys, I tried to pick some fun roads! Once again, thanks for waiting for me, and I blame my alarm clock and that damn Patriots cheerleader that kept me awake the night before!
Ching, I gotta say it isn't easy leading the caravan... always wondering if everyone made it though the stop sign or the traffic light, if everyone made the last turn, etc... So I nominate you leader of the next caravan haha! You guys are all coming to the 100 mile Montauk cruise this weekend right?
And I'm gonna try to get my pics posted up tomorrow.

Thanks, I'm on VWVortex usually, same name as on here. I'll def let you guys know about future meets because the last one I went to before my show was Dubs on Defrost. It was a great show, but not one Mercedes. My final presentation for the project is the first week in June, so I'll let you guys know how it turns out

Yes there was one Benz! Mario's white R320! No way you could have missed that thing rolling on black 20's! Anyway, I went to that show but decided to bring the BMW.

Thank you!

Haha... funny thing about the Phantom...

First of all, that thing was INSANELY BIG! I've never seen one up close IRL like that... and it's a monster... I could not imagine detailing that car... it was like a gigantic cinder block...

Anyways... I'm not sure who'se it was, but there was a driver in there, and he sat inside the car from 10:00am when the event started, all the way until he left at about 3:00pm... HE DID NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR!

The Rolls belongs to a family friend and he sent the driver up for the day. Thats his daily driver for when he's in NYC. And I think the driver left by about 1:30 when the owner arrived.

Hey everyone, It was great to meet a lot of you. Sorry that I was not able to get to everyone in regards to installing overlays and things. It seemed that eveyone enjoyed the Eurofest stickers. Any pictures of those??

Oxygen, how did your tail lights turn out? I hope everything worked out well. I love that ride of yours. I am hooked.

My appologies, the business card that I handed out were printed by me at 1:30 in the morning the day of the meet and my phone number is wrong. Anyone that needs it can PM me. Thanks

Dan
