Houston Cars and Coffee - July 2012

Had a great time. Met up with Jim, Chris, and a few of my buddies. Met a really nice gentlemen, John, with a C63 Black Series. It was gorgeous. Red with red stitching on the interior. One of 70 (I believe) that are coming to the states. Next month we need to get all the AMG's parked together next time.
As very small selection of the cars that were there. Anyone recognize the silver E55? There were a few E55s there I didn't recognize.

I went to the Dallas event. Here are pics:

C&C- Dallas July 2012

Aside from the C63BS, there was a CLS550 and SL600. No E55s in site.

Typhoons will always be sweet. A Syclone would be cooler.

My first car was a 89' S10 with the 4.3. I have always dreamed of owning a syclone.

I was 15 at the time and by the time I got the loan (in my name) it was sold. So I settled for the Beretta. And used the extra money to hook the car up and party. So shoot me!

I think that Silver E55 is that dude Slow&rusty !! pretty sure that they are fake BBS LM's but they look good, I was driving next to him in my old e55 and he didn't even give a thumbs up after he saw me giving him one,

Hey everyone it is my E55 - last minute 2 of my buddies and I decided to head out to C & C and I didnt check to see who was coming. Didnt know everyone was wondering whos car it was. Sorry guys

AUS-E55 you either saw someone else or I didnt see you - I always try to give the to the other AMG's! If I missed it - sorry! Heres one back to you . Where did you possibly see me? I came down the 8 to the 249 (I was playing a little with a TT 911 and a 67 Camaro on the 249 ).

Hey SterlingE55 - it's just a Eurocharged H/E. But I didnt mount it the standard way, it mounts with 2 tabs off the top that catch the bottom of the bumper bolts. And then I just lightly sprayed the "AMG Logo" on it... I bought it from Shardul early last year.

Forgot to mention - with mounting this way you can still use the 2 lower 10mm bolts to hold the bumper cover on. I just left the bumper bolts loose holding th H/E - once the bumper cover is back on - I can just drop one side at a time of the H/E to install the lower 10mm bumper cover bolts.

No worries - love your Black! Part of your old car still lives on in mine . Your drivers side rear rocker trim replaced my broken one.
