So, are you guys going to have a GTG or not?

I can remember the goading leathermang gave us up here in New England/ New Jersey when we began planning a second after we had our first and no one actually found anyone else at the agreed upon site. It was apparently a mall or some other heavily populated spot in NJ where it is pretty common to see a significant number of MB's. Without some very specific gathering place, the forum members were not sure enough the other MB drivers were there for the GTG, or just shopping, to approach them.

Anyway, leathermang was instrumental in the success of our following ones, mainly by dropping some serious "hints" about how to organize one. The first steps though, are picking a place and a date. The place should be somewhere where a bunch of MB Diesels stick out and you can find each other, and the time should allow for those that show up early or late and leave early or late. The boys in Texas also add some grub to the event, which would be nice at one of the next NE GTGs.

Good luck on the GTG though, and keep us posted on the location and date. You never know when someone from Texas or Connecticut might be planning a drive through your area....
