Next Friday (12/16)

Per the web site, someone donated some VHT, so there might even be some traction!!

All you need is an approved helmet and $30. Let me know if you want to check it out, we can meet up. Ill try to get Brian to run his E63... He comes out to watch, but he needs to run!!

I'd like to go. My stuff is still in shipping, so I don't have one of my many motorcycle helmets yet.

Another question: do you know of any reputable shops around that can install my headers? Preferably a good exhaust shop that will be able to meet my exhaust modding needs in the future.

I stopped by their shop today and met Peter. Real nice guy with a great accent. There was someone's E55 there, silver, debadged, blacked out grille, and Meister...shaft er whatever exhaust. As I was leaving another silver E55 pulled up. There were 2 GT-Rs and a Cobra 500GT on the lifts, a pimped out CL55, and an absolutely crazy CL63 with a Weistec supercharger in the back. I was in car heaven.

Post up if that was your E55 sitting there.

Famoso was canceled, and a new date (hopefully) will be announced.

The web site built for Famoso rentals is first class. I hope this was not just a one time thing.

With any luck, we can hook up with the Corvette guys, BMW or the Mustang groups and get merge with them in the coming month or two.

Not enough of us on the west coast to finance the rental unfortunately.


Back off topic- There is a great write up on the (JSP's) E63 you saw on the Forum. That car is insane (wide body if you didn't notice).. As for the E55 on the rack, not sure, might have been Chapparone's.

Peter is also a very accomplished photographer!

Did you talk to Jerry regarding your tune?

Your other thread with the dyno chart seems to have "vaporized"...

Very, very strange.
