I agree!
Sorry I could not make it. We had a deal going on at Sparco that day also, and I had a BMW race car displayed there.
Brad i think one of the guys at the meet was asking for you. Think it was BrabusCLK.

I made a mistake, the pictures real resolution is 2592 x 1944. Just tell me which pictures you would like and I will be more than happy to send them your way. Anything for Evosport. Actually, I will zip them and send it via...www.yousendit.com and will email you the download link.

It was good times for sure. It was good meeting you too Tony. Hopefully next time...me, you, sean and others can form a caravan and head up to the meet. Since we all live close to the same distance away from each other.

Find out if those seats and steering wheel and fit our cars!!!

Chris, you want to meet up before the event to caravan? I think I'm less than 5 minutes from your place. Anybody else from Anaheim who wants to caravan?

So are the cars going in caravans, so as not to get lost? Just suggesting (as the topic says). Better idea would be that each caravan's leader and last person have navigation, that way if somebody veers away the last person can assist, no?

When I took the 210 W there was a Mountain exit that was far from the Rosebowl, I had to go back to the highway and look for a separate exit (Fair Oaks) that would lead to the 210W exit (parting out the highway). I then made a left and it's supposed to be Mountain/Seco, right? Mapquest wasn't much help.

Patrick, we'll meet up for sure next time around. That's if your car can keep up. We'll plan more about it later with tony, sean and what not.

Next time don't use Mapquest! Everytime I use their directions I always find mistakes and end up getting lost. Yahoo Maps does it good for me.

If and when I do pass you, I'll make sure to activate my smoke screen!

Maybe I could try Yahoo or MSN for now. Either way I do have a real map with me. I'll just get the general directions from there (crosses fingers)

hmm...I think we should at least go everyone once and awhile with whoever else. Since we live close. I live about 15-20 minutes away. Not too bad.

The iHop idea sounds good to me. I haven't had that for soooo long.
