Randy L.,

This is very definately the way to go, to have a native show you around the city. You will seee things regular tourists miss, and time won't be wasted.

When I went to Scandanavia, a few years back, I met a 420SEC owner in Oslo, and another SEC owner in Copenhagen, and we were treated to home cooked meals, and marvelous comprehensive tours of the city by fellow car enthusiasts in each of these areas. It was immensely fun, educational and gratifying to see the places through their eyes.

When the Norwegian came to the USA on business with colleagues, later on, I was able to return the favor and give them a comprehesive look at San Francisco, as I was born there and had lived there continuously for the last 20 years.

There is a Polish Mercedes club that is active, you should ask about that.

It also is the perfect venue for getting rare Euro parts if you can go to a dealer or breaker's yard there, so be sure and save room in your carry on bag for little Mercedes things you picked up.
