Next No. CA Meet & Drive is 8/20/05

The next Northern California SLK enthusiasts meet & Drive is coming up and I want to see more r171's there. We have yet to see a r171 SLK55 AMG; you could be the first. For more info see the events page which will be updated with new information as it is planned:
