Af2 Is History!

[Brabus]

It's came, it went, it was awesome. Af2 is now over, but the spirit will always live on. Over 40 cars and 60 people attended the event making it yet another BNZSport success.

Although the event was in the Bay Area, we had people from all over CA and even LV come out. Mad props to them. And to add to that, the quality of the cars was much higher than previous years and compeition was fierce. But that's not why we gather. We don't come for trophies or the food, we come because it's BNZSport.

Just want to shout all all the big contibutors to the event: Meguiars for sponsoring the great car cleaning products, TWS for the support and Topline for bringing out their nicest cars.

Also want to give props to the people who made it all possible: Kuhl for the awards, Renn for all the prep/cooking, Shanta for the food, 714guy for the caravan, slk320 for the staging, Dennis & Brabus' Girrrl for the registration. Finally want to thank Mr. People's Choice BNZSport himself, Nokia. Him and his family came the furthest and have always supported the most. Thanks man!

And the biggest thanks is out to all the people who supported can came out!! Next time we're in Las Vegas 2005!! AF3 Baby!

The drive was long and tedious, but surely 110% worthwhile. It was good seeing all the OG 'sporters again and meeting the new faces. This is why I love California.

[Brabus]

We will one day make it to the East Coast... we'll see :)

But for AF3, we're in Vegas baby!!

We don't come for trophies or the food, we come because it's BNZSport.
This is the main theme and Ashman put it down best when he said its all about the support for the site and it allowing us to get to know each other.

[714guy]

It was a great event and like everybodies been saying it was all about the people. Eventhough i enjoy my first ever car trophy :P , the wonderfull food cooked by Renn, and the dope @ss cars; In the end it was all about meetin everybody again and all the new peeps. Even my friends had a blast and they can't wait till the next one. I can't wait till the Sin City AF3, hopefully there will be a bigger caravan (Nor & SoCal)

[Patz]

Very Cool, and great pics... Though you should label the people so i know whos who! I'm excited it will be in Vegas, finally I will be able to meet everyone

no man...i promise you...i AM going this time...

[Hank]

so wut was your reason for missing AF2?

[Ashman]

Yes it was good times. Definately about meeting the people behind the keyboards.

And it doesn;t hurt to see all the little things each member does to their car to make it just a lil different.

How come you didn't bring the coupey? CL203 definitely needed more representation.

[kineda]

My car is still under massive surgery! :P I would've loved to come out to rep the cl203's! :)
