Central FL Benz Bash 2013

It's official (since no one provided any input)

The 2013 Central Florida Benz Bash will be on April 6th, 2013 in the field behind the townhome.

Location: 8953 Newmarket Dr, Windermere, FL (I will have signs or balloons out)

Time: 10:00am - whenever the cops get called

What to bring: Yourself, a Mercedes Benz. If you want to bring food let it be known. I will most likely provide hamburgers and hot dogs and coke/water

What to expect: A gathering or like minded Mercedes Benz owners. I have a garage so if you want to tinker you are more than welcome to do so. We are not pulling engines or sub frames or any serious work.

Questions: send me a PM or email through the forum.


What you can do to help: Spread the word through out the lands and invite every benz owner you can!

Watch this thread for more info and expect a date TBD in a few days!!! SPREAD THE WORD!!!


(add your name to the list of attendees and the number of people you're bringing. The more the merrier)

March 30 will be Easter weekend. Traffic will be bad for anyone coming from out of town.

Wife and I would like to come if we can work out a few details. 550 miles so we probably won't be able to bring anything. Maybe some fried chicken from a carryout or something if that would help.

Looking to sell?

If I can get my '84 300d roadworthy by then you'll be seeing me. On that note, anybody know of someone selling a good condition Mercedes diesel? I'm looking to replace my 300sd that just got totalled.
