Lightbulb Floridians Unite ...

We can't let all those sprout-eating California MB owner's overshadow us here in the Sunshine State!

They think all their traffic makes them good drivers ... well they don't have to drive with the Blue-Hairs and Snowbirds causing havoc everywhere they go!

Let's get organized!

I'm in S. Florida, but Orlando might be a more centralized location for the majority of people.

Let me know what you think.

I'm in Orlando, meeting here is not a problem. Sorry I do not have the go-getter you do, but my E430 ought to be able to keep in view?! Keep me posted.

We should all rent out Moroso for a day, that would be great .

John,

I've gotten to know a few of the local M5'ers ... and they've invited me to join them at Moroso a couple of times (someone needed to add some class to the 'oil-leaking-clutch-cable-snapping-BMW-ladened' event) ... but I never seemed to have that particular day free.

It would be worth the trip for Randy and Black99 (right guys?) ...

Do we have to pre-register? Do we need a minimum # of participants?

Let's give a call up to Moroso this week.

Where are you located?

I'm about 20 minutes from Moroso.

Every Wednesday and Friday night from 6-11 they have drag's for $10. Race all you want.

Let's all set a date and get together with the M5 guys.

I don't want to doit until my CLK 55 comes in, hehe. I do think we would have to pre-register, I doubt we could just show up. Not sure on the number of participants, but if worse comes to worse we could always find some lowely BMW's to fill in, haha. Mabye we could get the Autohaus in Pompano to have some involvement?

Nice response time JR, less than a minute . I am in Boca, no longer than 30 minutes away; 5 minutes in my new CLK 55 that will hopefully be here soon, hehe.

I'm in Boca too (well, Delray ... but these days living here isn't too popular!).

When's your 'Beast' coming in?

Yes

How do you guys think your CLK55's will do against the C32?

That will be fun!!

Drew your E55 is VERY fast as well. Why not bring it out so we don't have to wait.

Wednesdays are the best time. Not much of a crowd compared to Fridays.

You can get in 4 to 5 runs in a night. You meet some great people as well. Not to mention the cool cars.

Wednesday night? That's Ladies Night in Boca Bro! Oh, well, In the past few minutes since your 'challege' I've been getting some PM's about you from people who know you. From what they've been saying ... hanging out with you ... I won't know the difference :p

No, JR, seriously, I think it would be a blast. I've never driven in nor even sat in a C32 before ... and taking your Beast for a lap would be a blast.

I'd let you take my Beast for a spin, but that body-odor problem of your's I've been hearing about makes me hesitate :p

Let me get into the office tomorrow and check to see which Wednesday night works for me (definately gonna have to be after those Boca-Beauty's at FAU leave town after final exams though )

Pewwwweeee

Don't worry Drew. We with the C32's will wait for you at the finish line.

All you have to do is follow the odor.


It seems we have a variety of AMG cars in this area. That's great!
The more the better.

Touche'.

I'm looking forward to it JR.

Email me with your telephone number and we'll set it up.

Let's co-ordinate it so the few S. Florida guys can make it too.
