Trying to let everyone in the DFW area know that we are going to meet-up with Tungster, 16falcon, and anyone else in the DFW Texas area interested, Sunday 5/7/06 at 2PM at the Grapevine Mills Mall parking lot, Football Entrance on the SW corner. Can't wait to see his fab 32 :D

I'll be there as well.

How about arevee, Max Blakely, others? I know there are a bunch of you guys/gals in the DFW area. Grapevine Mills is fairly centrally located, come on out and meet some other SLK owners!

Sorry guys. Could not be there. My car is still in the shop after the 16 year old ran the stop sign......and I was in the shop (hospital). Had a heart flair up. Anyway since the shake up MAX BLAKELY is now RED SLK....can't seem to get the old user name up.. so did not get the pm message as I could not get in. Do hope y'all had a rippin good time. And perhaps I shall get together with you at a later date. How did you all take in all the mods on Tungster's ride? Didja welcome him inta TEXAS real proper with some bar-b Q or chilli/over a few longnecks? And didja elicit his promise to purchase a pair of cowboy boots so's he can be dressed rite proper?

Y'all be well and stay well.

Regards

RED SLK

Sorry you couldn't make it. Yeah, I sent the PM to your old screen name :( However, we plan to do it again.

Anyone trying to get a sense of Tungster's car from the pics can't even get close to how impressive that sucker is in person! That new interior is gorgeous! We only had 4 cars there but, hey, it's a start :D 16falcon got to drive it at tungster's invitation and I'll let him speak for the experience. I knew if I drove it, I'd start to have $$$$$$$$$$ visions of Kleeman cams and pulleys, etc., so I didn't :eek:

Tungster tooks some snaps with his phone cam, so I'm sure he'll post a few soon. We even had cars stoppings and marveling at his car when he had it all opened up. Heck, I had to spend 1/2 hour after I got home just consoling my poor little stock 32 ;) I let it eat up some ricers on the ride home though :D

Also, had a look at 16falcon's clear front signal lights (not side markers). Got get me a set of those! They really make the headlights lights look half way decent now.

Seriously hope you heart issues are OK!!!!

Yeah, tungster was gracious enough to let me drive his Fine machine. It is very fast. Sounds a lot different too, kind of a nice growl. The doors are awesome, I didn't really think much of them from the pictures, but to try them out...they are way cool. With the gas assist they are as light as can be. Like LarryK said, the pictures don't do the interior justice, the silver console and carbon fiber is smooth as glass and looks great. The audio rocks too. I may have to get me an SL55 Y-pipe, it's the kind of mod even I can do, 10 minute remove and replace. Tungster says it should get us 12hp at the wheels. I also have to keep a new Head Unit (with NAV) on my wish list. Hopefully some more of you Fort Worth/Dallas folks will make it out to the next mini-meet. Besides tungster, LarryK and myself, we had a new (to us) forum member (forgot to get his screen name, he has been lurking here, which is fine, not everyone likes to post) who we were happy to welcome. He has a sharp looking 2002 black 320.

guys,

I am sorry I missed it. I got larry's message but I have working crazy hours (how about 4:00am on a friday morning sound???!!) that I fell asleep sunday afternoon. I will try and make it next time.

Tungster: Once again, a hearty welcome to Dallas!
