So Cal winery run Photos

Tslick · 11-03-2007

We had five SLK's out today running through the hills and canyons. Carlos (TheGhost) ran with us and it was a pleasure. Incredible, he kept up with Scott. Here's a few poor photos that shows the day. Candy was a mad photographer so there should be more coming. I'll have some vid's if they are presentable.

Here they are rebuilding the Infamous Ortega Highway. Etyu and Cyberdraken in the foreground. I wonder what would have happened if a strong earthquake hit.

V8SLK and The Ghost trailing behind me.

In the fire area around Palomar Mountain was eery, here's some postal boxes and stop sign burnt, but the trees next to them came out fine. We were waiting for a flagman to let us through a rebuilding area.

This scene was prevalent in the fire areas, ash rising from the ground in the light santa anna's.

Thank you Tom for the pix and for the route planning.

It was great meeting everyone today. Here are some of the photos from today's run (9-5):

Meeting up at Cook's Corner with a slight haze in the morning sun...

The Ghost and V8SLK, at Lake Elsinore for pit stop ...

**etyu** · 11-04-2007

At the parking lot in front of a grocery store in Lake Elsinore ...

The Ghost's ride, very cool Mystic Blue (I think, or is it Jasper Blue? )...

**etyu** · 11-04-2007

Law enforcement officer (off-duty) checking on The Ghost (joking of course

) ...

R171's at Mount Palomar ...

"I think I forgot the fiberboard padding for the camera mount to minimize vibrations...."

**etyu** · 11-04-2007

R170 (Tslick) and R171 (Cyberdrrakon) at Mount Palomar ... "Hmmm, where did I leave that darn fiberboard thingy.."

At the parking lot in front of DVO (Dodge Valley Oasis), a quaint eatery, somewhere on route 79)...

The owner of the restaurant came by our table and greeted us, saying the line-up below gave his establishment a nice image from the street...

A different angle from the same place...

Hers some vid's ... kind of shaky. Notice TheGhosts car looks emerald green vs blue. Amazing paint job.

It only took us about 5 hours to reach the winery

"Did we take the twisty or the scenic route?" SLK's at the parking lot of the winery ...

Same winery, different angle...

**etyu** · 11-04-2007

Time for an afternoon tea (iced-tea), and oh .. don't forget the wine, cheese, crackers, blueberries, green apple, grapes, bread and goat cheese, etc...

Nice variety of colors, tastes and smell of wine ....

Some autumn/fall colors while waiting in the parking lot at Lake Elsinore Outlet Stores. "Honey, I think I left my coat at the winery, I need to get a new one..."

**etyu** · 11-04-2007

Tom, Thank you very much for the video's .. just a tad shaky but quite acceptable.

**alroumi** · 11-04-2007

Beautiful day, great get together. Thanks for the pics.

**Zeiser50** · 11-04-2007

Great picts and videos. On cyberdraken cars, the third break like is flashing 2 or 3 times on each break. Is it additional module ?

Michel, it is an custom aftermarket module - assembled and made by Noregret4Life. It can be programmed to do bursts or flash, a plug-and-play unit that I think you will appreciate.

We call it Kleyman 3BFM (3rd Brake Light Flashing Module) by NoRegrets Custom Works

Do a search in this forum. I'll try to look for it and paste the link.

Edit: Here's one link: http://www.slkworld.com/general-modi...flasher-3.html
and another link: http://www.slkworld.com/slk-r171-gen...ht-module.html

It's just the way the sunlight came off the cars when taking the photos with the vehicles between the shooter and the light source.

Eddy I see you have a cushion on your seat, admit it you find those AMG bucket seats less comfortable than your previous 280?

BTW, gorgeous ride!

Good eyes Mohammed!

Actually, the seats on the 55 have more padding than on the prior 280. It is more supportive and is comfortable. The cushion was from the old E320. It is artificial sheeepskin with dark cloth facing the leather seats. I use it to keep the leather relatively clean from stains and dirt. It does offer added comfort especially on long drives.

The prior E320 had beige leather seats. The one on the 55 is even a lighter beige.
