Sorry Bro. I guess I lived in Indianapolis too long and just always refer to it as Indy even though many think of indy as an independent auto shop. The track I was referring to was Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

We were thinking of doing something like that last year. Getting a tour and grabbing something to eat afterwards. We should ask if speeddrvn would be open for visitors. Perhaps after few can bring portable grills. Others pitch in on food and charcoal type a deal.

BBQ sounds great. In the meantime if people are interested we should get together again sooner as well. The streets have been fairly dry here, so would be good to meet up for lunch / drinks etc

The tundra up here is still quite frozen. I don't see my SL coming out of its winter slumber for at least another month. I would however join a meet sooner. I would bring down my ML. Those 302 ponies are starting to feel quick after driving it all winter. That is what I love about breaking out the SL after getting used to only 300 HP.

Marinate shortribs with Asian recipes for BBQ is awesome anddelicious. If everyone is serious and interested for this meet, then someonewho should start arranging the meet now and see how many people want toparticipate. Sometime in April or May should be a good time.

Depends when, but I'd be down. The c43 is ripped apart at the moment and s600 is sleeping until the salt is off the road though.

Had a blast at the car show and saw bnzuovr's car, Aleks car, Another silver E55 with realllll dark tints ALL the way around (yes, windshield), a silver C55 with Eurocharged goodies, then a nice C63.

I also ran into Bnzuovr, and man. Let me tell you, what a nice guy! Keeps his car clean enough to eat off of, in and out. BTW, I LOVE the from plate trick you had going on! Overall, there was a LOT of ricers, but the other AMGs made it worthwhile.

The only picture I have, but there's a Jeep SRT-8 there.
