You know, a national convention WOULD be kinda cool! I had a Taurus SHO, and the SHOtimes mailing list/website hosted an annual convention. I never made it, but the stories that I heard made it sound like a blast! Maybe Mercedesshop would even consider sponsoring... or maybe they already sponsor something like this. I live in the Diesel Forum, so maybe I'm out of the loop on these things!

The GTG's (Get ToGether) as we call them on the VW TDI Forum they are both tech sessions and socials. I have hosted 5 or 6 over over the last few years, and I think I got as much fun out of hosting the GTG's as going to them.

The TDI Forum has a section for just Meetings/GTG/Regional Discussions and they is just about always one happening somewhere in the US at any given time.

Age and cunning will always over come youth and vigor.

Maybe we need a new thread with this topic and see what happens. Maybe we can title the thread "We want a national MB convention!"

Who knows it just might work
