Mini GTG in Encinitas, CA

[Glen]

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Cannoli and KarlC today. This is the same location the three of us met up at a few years ago when Karl bought his first '94 E500. Anyway, it was great to see them both and catch up. Here are a couple pix...





In case you're interested, here's the thread on our previous meet in the same spot almost three years ago: http://www.500eboard.com/forums/showthread.php?513-Quick-01-10-10-GTG-KarlC-s-new-car

Nice! Great group shot.

 

[Glen]

Here's another angle...with a DB9 that showed up

 

[Cannoli]

It's always great to see fellow enthusiasts. Karl, your buying and selling skills amaze me. You picked up another winner.

Funny thing, when I began to park, and then Karl shortly after, the salesmen from Cardiff-Classics (our local Automotive Porn Shop ... www.cardiffclassics.com) came over and begun to check our cars out. Glen provided the Trifecta for the salesmen.

 

[KarlC]

A few more shots for ya ......

TWO sets of Monolites in the same place! Wow!!

 

[redred]

Bigger pics are great! Those new rims are looking quite sharp on KarlC's car!

Cool - it's a facelift sandwich!

I spy an Aston Martin in the parking lot!

 

[gsxr]

Yeah, and even the Aston has Monolites, lol!

Norm it was good to see you and all the mods you have done to your car, I'm sure its a joy to drive! LOL I'm not that great at buying and selling cars, I do better with real estate, cars are just a hobby that I really enjoy.

Thanks for meeting up with me and Glen !

What my wheels get no love ???

There's the love for my wheels !

I do like the Renntech Monos, but with lips I would want 19's !

 

[gsxr]

Your wheels look hot too, Karl!

I think the other two cars may be the only .036's that I know of rolling on Monolites, and they were next to each other. Pretty kewl, IMO.

 

[Glen]

Dave,
There's at least one other Silver 500E with Monolites. I believe the owner is a member (ToyCollector) here too but I haven't seen a post from him in a long time. His car is the Brumos car that was repainted is Silver Arrow silver, I believe, and he runs staggered diameter Monilites...18's up front and 19's in back.

Nice E500 Karl. I have always liked smoke silver, adds another layer of elegance. Thanks for posting the photos.

Good memory, Glen. I saw Toy Collector at last years Petit LeMans. He still had his 500E and it looks great with the 18 / 19 wheel setup. About 4 weeks till this years event.

6-speed?!?
Do you mind sharing some secrets on that?

...and a great triple collection of 500s!

Nice to see you that you guys got together. I haven't see Canoli is so long I thought maybe he retired his 500e to garage queen status since he got that hot Fiat 500 to replace it.

Do any of you guys ever go to a San Diego State football games? My grandson is a red shirt (riding the bench this year) quarterback on the team.

Maybe I could have made it a foursome if I had gone to Saturday's game against San Jose State. Anyway I will be down that way again on Saturday October 6th for San Diego State's game with Hawaii.

If any of you are around let me know. I could at least stop long enough to say hello.

Take Care
