Sorry this notice is so short but I will not make it to the caravan tom. I will be at the gtg but not for the caravan. My friend with an audi is new to this kind of event and I don't want him to be alone. He said he was meeting up with some other audi's at In&Out in glendale. So I am going to go with him... Sorry again and I look foward to seeyin everyone there.

Put me on the list too!

I would like to come to this gathering, not so sure if I will make it, but still put me on the list. My email address is NooLimits55@yahoo.com, can someone send me information on where the place is, time, and what the get together is like. I have a 2005 SLK 55 AMG R171. I am into racing and I would like to get the Kleemann Peformance Upgrade to raise my horsepower to 560 hp. I am also thinking of get a carbon fiber body. If anybody has information or can help me with sponsors and stuff like that please email me. NooLimits55@yahoo.com
Thanks!
