thanks much 55fanatic for the kind words and for getting this together.

I must say that I'm still envious of the newer V8's better torque curve.. and I now want a meatier sounding exhaust but I can't get myself to do it to the car

i'd also like a stock nav.. and the list goes on but..

oh prof. griff,
check out this site
www.eris-car.de - they have cool stuff for these cars

i just realized that I actually bought my shift knob from
www.performanceproducts.com



Anyways, I have some pictures too

Great meeting everyone! It was fun!

PICTURES...

Nice pictures!!

About the may 7th GTG, I say let’s gather up all the representing MB’s first then roll to the Boston GTG place? I suggest the IHOP parking lot since most of you are familiar with it, if you prefer a closer place to Boston then make a suggestion and we’ll see what everyone thinks. If anyone is taking a head count for this event please add me to that list.

By the way, where is the initial GTG place in Boston before heading to the redhook brewery in NH?

hey guys I think we should stop posting in this one and move it over to the May 7th thread... Ill post a list here and a list there... I did get the list of other forums attendance right now this cruise is at 43 rides not including any MBworlders!!! Lots of Ferrari's and Lotuses(the lotus forum is going) I would say about half of this group is exotics!!!
MBworlders who are tentatively going:
55Fanatic(ML55)
Silk32(SLK32)
Black Halo(C230K)
Copper disgno(SLK230K)

I will also post in the other thread but this sounds like a freakin BLAST!!!
