Guys,

Whatevers clever. For those that are close to Lynnfield,Saugus can meet at 11am and drive down together. For those that are not, can meet the rest of us at Gillette. Either way, I will be at IHOP during those times for the people that are not reached from this post. With that said, 2pm seems like a good time to meet at Gillette.

As for the Photoshoot, I have a Nikkon D100 and a Coolpix 5700 with tripod that I will bring for good quality pictures.

Members meeting at IHOP:

Prof.Griff (S500)

ML430R1 (ML 430)

prof.griff, I will definitely be joining so please add me to your list.

I have few suggestions thought:

Let’s not split up the meeting point since I can’t agree more with 55fanatic, bunch of MB’s and AMG’s rolling in 128 is super HOT!! :v Besides I’m planning to record the roll and post it here to make everyone jealous of the Great taste Bostonians have in making their MB’s look sharp!! So let’s do this:

Part 1: let’s all meet anyways this Saturday April 16th at IHOP parking lot at 3Pm (will give all you out there with hangovers from Friday hard partying enough recovery time) we’ll have brunch at IHOP or the steak place (same parking lot) and at around 4-4:30, all engines start and to roll to either Gillette stadium for a photo shoot or to the F1 track, maybe we’ll decide when we meet since it’s on a short notice.

Part 2: Prof.griff, how about you do the honors and start another thread like this one and label the date to meet at either April 23rd or may 7th at IHOP at 10:00 AM to go to the New England Dragway. Hopefully by then it will be open for sure.

What do you all think? Sounds like a plan?

Blk Halo,

I also agree that 3pm is to late. I say we start rolling down to Gillette about 1pm, hoping to get there around 2pm. That gives us time for the shoot as well as the F1 event.

I'll be there early cause I want Steak and Egg whites plus a big order of pancacks.


Everybody drive to the rear of IHOP and look for the (white S500).
You can't miss it.

x-tian-230k,

I don't think Jlee has his car. It might be a good idea to call him and make sure. He also had to meet his professor. Double check.

If not, you can always meet us and travel down to Gillette..

Things I learned today... Prof. Griff cant drive a go kart for more than 4 laps, Black Halo NEEEEDS navigation, Gillette security doesnt like us one bit, and that Kleeman LSDs look like they could be machined in 10min for a lot less then they cost!!! All in all today was pretty dope guys. We will have to do this again real soon. Ill get some pics up soon.

Christian were you taken pictures of my ***(ML's behind) on 95? Griff start workin out so you can last more than you did.

HAHAHAHA :p Anyone willing to donate one ? Unfortunately I'm not planning to install one any time soon, not until my lease is over which is in 5 months, and the Plan is to Upgrade the whole car to a C55 with a “NAVIGATION” . Until then I will enjoy doing 100 thousand U-turn's on inter-state Highways

Proff.griff, gimme a call if you need a spotter in the gym heeehhheehehe… but for real, next time you better make it through the whole thing.

To my understanding, It should be opening any time after the 20th. A track meet will be organized. Several people are interested in going, including myself.

I also want to see how your car performs. I might be trading in the EClass for a C55.
