A very big thank you to the organizers and everyone who shared their knowledge.

My brand new a/c compressor siezed on the way home. Now the engine grinds to a halt as soon as I turn on the A/C.. :)

Man, I really wish I could have made it....that would have been a cool time. Great turnout too!!

Maybe have another one in September or something...October is usually nice in south central Texas!!

We're thinking about having another one in October. I'll let you know if this idea progresses any further.

Here's a few photos from me.

This S-class wasn't there for the meet, but rather a park attendee, but I felt they were worth photographing.

This similar looking S-class however, was there for the meet.
