Went to the Caffeine & Octane meet for the FOERST time this weekend. Definitely a nice standard of cars there. Might go to this more often before it gets cold. When I got there Clint was just arriving, and later I bumped into Yousef. Here are some snaps, there are more in the

GALLERY.

Nice shots! I'd like to eventually make it up to one of these as well, looks like a nice contrast to the Varsity meets and things like that, haha.

nice shots. I'd like to attend next month.

the new AMG thing looks good in that shot but everything else I've seen doesn't flatter it.

All that real estate in front of the windscreen and they only put a V8 in it? Blech
It has HotWheels proportions... it deserves to have 800+ HP and optional lake pipes.

i think he is from finnland or some scandinavian country :)

originally Norbert Haugg (Mercedes Motorsport Big Boss) wanted some german drifters to do some spectacular show and taxi rides in E63, C63 and SLS AMG´s. 2 Weeks after they booked us, they wrote a mail: the advertising with michael schumacher is not very good, so they have to keep the costs lower than expected wich meaned only 2 sets of tires per car. And 2 Days before the event they told us, the well named drivers will drive the expensive cars :( anyway they payed good money haha
