63's at East Coast AMGFEST

I just got back from the East Coast AMGFEST at Mercedes Benz USA Headquarters in Montvale, NJ. Rob Allen from AMG USA and Noah Yanowitz an Engineer at MBUSA were there to host this all day event. My hats off to them for putting on a great show and the catered lunch was a real treat. They had 4 brand new 2007 AMG's with the new 6.3liter motors. A E63,CLS63,ML63 and the R63. Here's some pic's from todays event.

I overheard today that they cancelled it due to rain. You may want to PM Pete to confirm.

That's weird. Tommy said in the Events section it would go on no matter the weather.

I would PM Pete but I think he's too drunk. Doesn't matter since I'm stuck in Michigan anyway.

The parking lot at MBUSA's headquarters is pure car ****. I came across this a brand new CL550. I believe this car isn't even available yet.

Pete is planning on arriving @ 10am w/the caravan. I'm surprised that late since the driver's meeting is 9:45.

Montvale is in North New Jersey isn't it?

Weather.com says light rain. I don't think light rain wouldbe enough to cancel an autox, besides it's more fun.

Yes I know where Montvale is since I was just there yesterday at AMGFEST. The autocross was at the Meadowlands which is more central. As I left AMGFEST one of the guys there told me that it was cancelled due to rain and that was the last I heard about the autocross. Not sure if they pulled it off . If so I would love to see someone post some pics.

Well it looks like they're gone, or else we'd be seeing some pics from AMGfest.

It's your Own to like it, his Own to do not.


talking about car **** :
There's a TV spot running on euro TV from the french carmaker Peugeot. It features two little bugs who're workin' really intensly in the Golf competitor, making the car bouncing. In the end it says, "More Intense" , with the female bug sliding down the humid window ("Awww yeaaahh! Deeeeeepa!!")

I was lmao when I first saw that! Still waiting to see two peugeots mating with each other doggystyle!
And it the end it should be, "Attention, species multiplies quickly!" to indicate that the car should be seen very often on the streets...

I saw New CL in person and took similar pics. I was skeptical as well but you HAVE to see it in person to appreciate it. PICs dont do it justice, that car is one hot mama, wait til you see the CL63 amg.

You're right, absolutely right! But what if you think the Camry is beautiful? The CL could also be beautiful, thus.

just for all for next time ... the AutoX had nothing to do with MB ... you should have read the Porsche Club's site Chappy linked to that said the event goes on rain or shine.

I got frigg'n SOAKED out there working the track while the other group made the rounds.

Pics are coming your way. BTW that wasn't my E55 parked nose to nose with your awesome CLK. That E55 with the HRE's belonged to the guy from Connecticut. Mine had the stock wheels and it was parked up the hill.
