Hey everybody! I just got back from my first visit to HQ and was blown away by how cool everything was. Many pics and a little over $1k later I'm back and still jazzed. I'll post pics soon but wanted to ask if anyone else has seen the Mercedes with the camo paint job and who it belongs to. I asked around inside and it turns out it belongs to Colin Baden. I saw him get out of the car and knew he was someone important but didn't know who or what his name was so all I could think to ask was if I could take a pic of his car.

Pics to follow unless someone tells me its not a good idea to post them.

Is he famous if you didn't even know who he was? lol

Colin Baden used to be a president of one of the divisions at Oakley... Maybe design. I think he invented the OTT, don't quote me.

Sorry, it was the thump...

We cant wait to see the pics Brian, must have been a nice trip.

Yeah Colin Baden is the Oakley president, also in charge of designing o-stores among other things.

Including HQ itself. JJs future home if it ever gets completed amongst his other duties. Or is it done now?

this one ?

Oh my god!! What a wonderful car!!! This guy must be really rich! Oakley payment must be very good.... ^^

Can you imagine parking in the woods somewhere...

Drive far enough into Kentucky and you will see plenty of trucks painted in similar schemes. lol

But in LAX, I am sure that is the only one.

That's pretty neat. Never seen that there before.

Id say "neat" is an understatement.

How about "neato"?

heaps mighty neat?

What car? I can't see it.

HA HA! Someone should do a red camo or blue camo.

Oooh, a red camo version would be gorgeous.

It's not Colin's...

the white camo/MD goes with that truck for sure!!

only a truly Mad Scientist would put camo on a 175k car.
