** Pix from OC meet 08-23-03 **

I really don't like taking pictures at car shows or car meets, but still took some. Here are some Mercedes that showed up at the meet. It was nice seeing you all again.

It's actually really low in person, maybe it's just the angle that I shot the car from. You should have came, the meet was big, a lot of cars came. You better come next time !

Hey Bruce,
My car has actually be out on the street since I last saw you. I don't know how you drive your car everyday without leaving the front bumper on some driveway. Dude it is a pain in the butt. One of my buddies backed my car into a stall with a parking stop and scrapped my rear bumper! It was a minor scrap, no big deal. Got to be careful with the Carlsson RS kits. I had the AMG skirts on for a little while and had a hard time going over speed bumps. It's a little easier with the Carlsson side skirts.
I got it apart again this weekend. I'm getting ready to put on another set of wheels. I decided to not make the custom wheels for my car. We actually did a prototype for the front and back. 3" front and 4.5" in the rear... monster lips. Although they would be one of a kind, absolutely crazy wheels on an MB, I changed my mind. I'm probably moving back to the islands and it would be a pain to fix these wheels without my contacts here in Cali. So I got polished HRE 540s instead. They should be here early this coming week and then I can put the Brembos on and back on the street. Got a rocket launch coming up soon, it may delay me getting on the street for a week but hopefully no more. Let's take some pics soon.

DAmnit guys, I was on my way to the meet coming from the 15 to the 74 (From Temecula)... I was 3/4 into the 74 and the damned highway was shut down for at least 2 hours due to some accident!

Once I found out about the 2-hour delay, I turned back around and tried the 91 ----- which was, is, and always will be horrible! I finally said forget it and went to Hooters instead.

My friend and I would have loved to check out the cars there. Damned Ortega Hwy!!

I actually live in Murrieta inside the SCGA course but I'm typically driving around Winchester.

I'm new in town and I only take out my E55 on Saturdays and Sundays.

Where's Mesa Grande????

That looks good. Are those roadways always crowded? Reminds me of Bay Area curves.
