I'm thinking it would be nice to find a secluded location and see how the C32 and C55 match up head to head...

I'll capture it on mpg video!

Only 30% chance of scattered T-storms according to weather.com, let's cross our fingers.

Hopefully it will be nice.

Nice.. Hope you all can make it AMG BRED.
the C55 will try to make it (Biz), he's got plans to AC but wants to cancel to go to drifting at FEDEX, and if he does he said he'll definitely hit up the GTG.

Also if anyone is interested I believe there is a Drift Competition at FedEx Field Saturday morning through the afternoon. I'm going with a group of people. Trying to get more info on it. I'll post info once I get more.

Also, One of the guys who hangs with us just got his HRE's! You all gotta see them, they look great! Go Brian! congrats, nice lip!

Also Thanks to Steve, lots of new COMANDS and TV tuners in our group too.

I missed some of you this week at my garage, and caught others with Steve. I was told I would enjoy this group. I can't make 6pm on 7-24 it's too late in the day... I'm a young family man; however I hope to make a few of the GTG's. I guess I will make one more E.

Hey Ecivilized,

I stopped by your place while steve was installing the TVtuner in Mario's C32.Thanks for letting him use your garage. We'll have lots more GTGs. Hope the rain holds out today...

If it rains we'll cancel.

Hey Leo, I just ordered a replica Carlsson RS front bumper for my car and I was wondering if your brother could hook me up with a good deal on painting and installing it, thanks.

Sure he could get you a great deal. His last week is next week. He's moving back to Florida. You should stop by his shop and get an estimate if you can't get the bumper in time. PM me your email and I'll get you his #.

Leo
