Since this post is on Page 1 of the thread, I will continue to update the list [below] as folks let us know they're going to join the fun.


Al -- sounds like you'd need a crew to bring all those great cars, but who would you trust to drive your babies? So how do you choose which one to drive?

Tarbe -- we just bought an '83 300SD, and have a rowdy bunch of '84 300Ds, so Millie will have ample playmates her own age. It's a gorgeous drive up from Houston -- at that time of year, you're very likely to go from deep summer greens to the bright autumn colors in that trip, and all, if you want, on pretty country highways instead of boring interstates.

Who's coming so far:
1. whunter
2. sunnyintx (and John, her MBZ diesel-loving husband)
3. okieone
4. Whiskeydan

[Counting friends, significant others, etc., we're now at 35 folks! Where are the rest of you?!? I'm ordering enough barbeque for a regiment, and we haven't even pulled together a division here!!! We can do better than this -- call/e-mail your friends in the 4-state area who'd like to learn a thing or two about their Mercedes-Benzes and invite 'em to come along. Just be sure to post additions to this thread so we keep a good count!! ]


We'll either join or watch the parade at 10:30 before we drag Roy off and start burying him in questions!! We'll have the shop open early for those who want to get started on their cars instead of watching other people's cars in the parade!
