There are a couple of Benz groups in the bay that meet semi regularly. Scorchie's shop almost always has stuff going on, 190 Revers meet from time to time, and the Bnzsporters do all kinds of stuff. Interested?

That's a good idea but I don't think there are

as many Benz owners how mod their cars like the BMW guys...hehehe j/k

Well when I take delivery of my E55, it will most likely be the most modded E55 on the west coast!

Keep me in the loop...would luv to see some nicely fixed up C32's or other Benzes!

hahaha, yeah I'm pretty active on all the boards

that I own cars in! I used to own an import shop before converting to all Euros. I also have a GS400 hence I'm on ClubLexus.

No, have not heard about the D&B meet this sunday? Seems like in Cali there are meets all the time. I can drop by since I live like 10 minutes from there. Any links to info?

Yes, I was at a Starbucks on that rainy night....showed up with both my lady friends who also brought their E46 M3's...

It was at the one on El Camino and Lawrence right? We took that meet to the DeAnza parking garage that night.

drop by and say hi next time! What car were you driving?

late,
rick

No link info from that meet since it was a word of mouth from another e46 member. I think it was the same ppl that organized the last D/B meet which is baybimmerz i think. Btw, were you there? I was there with my silver 325ci with some bbs wheels...well, probably won't recognize my car since it's so mildly modded and there are tons of silver cars there...anyway, looking fwd to see you in one of the next meet...

Craziness...yep, well I was hiding out in my truck that night and my friends came in a couple of 202s and a 208.

Dave, so when's the next meet at D&B? You think they'd stone me if I came by in the benz? haha. Funny, I caught a glimpse of the last one as I happened to be on my way to dim sum. Maybe I'll check things out this Sunday.

Dema: well mostly, we talk alot of smack, put down serious cash and never forget that it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile; winning's winning. All I know is "I need naws! Two Bottles!"

Seriously though, depends on the crew you run with. Sometimes it's a bunch of cars in a lot show style. Last time with the dub people, it was a caravan from Gilroy to SLO. With some of the other benz peoples it's a GTG to mod cars, perform maintenance, detail, bbq, drive, or coming up...bocce ball.

3 bAn 2 PoW 0/Larry: This sunday's meet is organized by baybimmerz and it's gonna be held at the parking lot rite in front of D/B around noon. The last meet we had, basically, it was alot of showing off initially, then I met up with some pplz that i already knew and we all had lunch as a big group at D/B. Afterward, we went out for a drive to the mtns but after a long stretch of freeway, ppl started to lose each other and we ended up with only 10 cars rather than the original 30 to 40ish. I saw some audis and vws and even a 350z there last time but it's majority bmw. I think everyone had a good time regardless what they have. I was planning to showup in my slk if the weather is sunny but then if we go for a drive, i will definitely be the last of the pack since i don't think my slk can hang with the bmws...maybe, i may just take my e46.
