Calgary MB SLK Meet

[rage2]

Hey guys. I propose we do a Sunday cruise, since I'm assuming all of us have work/school on weekdays =). Sunday May 26th sound good? Some destinations I can think of :

- Mackay's Ice Cream in Cochrane : great ice cream, great drive! 15 minutes west of calgary at speed limit =)
- Crescent Heights : There's a hill there with city skyline for great pics. Might be busy though...
- Glenmore Reservoir Park? : Another nice pic location, lots of room

For the speed freaks, we can hit Race City for friday night drag racing, if you're interested in seeing how your SLK does down the 1/4 mile. It's not hard on the car, and it's in a totally safe/controlled environment. It'll definately make awesome video footages! I have extra helmets we can all use.

Let me know what other destinations you can think of, such as lunch locations, etc. Once we get the locations hammered out, I'll draw maps and driving routes.

Members I've kept track of :

rage2 - Obsidian Black SLK 320, Brilliant Silver SLK 230
kenny - Alabaster White SLK 32 AMG
Jackie - Sunburst Yellow SLK 320
Murray von Kanada - Brilliant Silver SLK 230
mischief - Sunburst Yellow SLK 320
Ron - Sunburst Yellow SLK 230
Dave - Bahama Blue SLK 32 AMG
Jason (Dave's friend) - Bahama Blue SLK 230

That's 9 cars. My brother will most likely be driving the SLK 230, if he's busy, I'll bring my mom and dad =)

Unfortunately, I don't have the Kwan skills to operate even ONE car properly at a time let alone TWO, so not sure how this is going to work. I think we'll have the black 320 towing the silver 230 so we can fit two passengers in the 230!

[Fluidic]

I will drive one of the SLK's... I am fully insured... and I smell great! LOL

[rage2]

FYI mine is sunburst yellow.
Banff is too far. Crescent Hills is too crowded. But Saturday I have school all day. Is another day okay?

Where is the Glenmore Reservoir Park?

As well, I heard it is not wise to go highway driving unless you have "broken in" the engine for 1000 km.

[Fluidic]

In the distance you hear the almost silent, but very deadly:

***CRACK of the whip***

LOL

Yep thats true, you want to vary the rpm that you drive at for the first bit of driving. I considered my engine broken in after 300km, had it at Race City after 600km!

Congrats on the new car, pretty nice color too! Did you get a new personalized plate or are you keeping your old one? (which isn't really snobby or ... whats that word you used...)
