Can anyone of you Southern Cali Gents tell me if they are still meeting in the parking lot on Saturday mornings?

Book a room at the Montage...Dinner at Mastro's. Only the bill will be disappointing...or maybe not.

Thank you very much

Thumbs up You Won’t be Disapointed!!

Hammer Down - If it is new it will be there. Seriously, I think the first delivered Model, of any sought after Car, shows up there first. It does not last long but the Cars and the location are great and like Srgtfury said the Hotels and Restaurants are the best there are. - Bob

I got into Newport around noon so I missed all of the action. I know that this is the land of Ferrari, Lambo's ,Porsche's and of course Megabuck Benz's but my E55 got a ton of looks today and gang of thumbs up. I am completely stock. I took off my 19" Maya's for the winter and have not put them back on yet. Maybe it's the way it sits right on top of the tires....hmmmm I don't know.

Today I pulled into the Ferrari of Orange County and noticed people inside taking a look as I pulled up. The first thing that was said to me was "nice E55 can it get any lower?" (by the way the F430 Spider is a very sweet ride!)I was also over at Balboa Island and while eating ice cream I kept hearing people say to one another in conversation "that's a nice Mercedes" BenzoBoi was right I guess they do bow to the E55.

I left the bay area at midnight and showed up at chrystal cove at 7am (after having an almost 2 hour pause in HB)...saw plenty of "action"...it was a respectable collection of cars (eventhough most of the displayed brands don't do it for me).

greetingz,
