Beer? I thought no alcoholic beverages were allowed in the park? You guys are not law abiding citizens?

We got warned by the rangers, but they were cool. So after they warned us we drank apple juice, yeah apple juice out of cups.

Thanks to everyone for a great meeting. It was good to meet everyone and see a bunch of great cars. I agree, we should do it again soon. Summer or early fall, not after October. I suggest Southern New England some where, either CT or RI.
Christian (greetings from Doug)

I apologize for the delay in posting the few pictures taken. I was to busy checking out the cars and trying to retain as much technical info as possible.
I wish I had taken a picture of a particular engine (sorry Sean just kidding.....) It was nice to meet everyone there!!!!!! Regards, Giorgio

It was nice to meet you all in person, I wish I had more time but unfortunately I'm the low man on the totem pole as far as the daily scheduling goes I was glad to have a few spare hours yesterday just to drive up and pop in.
Considering the forecast it wasn't bad at all. Even in the short time I was able to stay I learned a lot about these cars. I've really got to get to giving the TD a good scrubbing and getting that engine cleaned up. Some of you have shamed me into it just by how clean yours were. How about a shoreline run later this summer? Hard to beat the beach, classic Benzes and brews! I was bummed about Nik not being able to make it, too. I've never seen a Lambo up close and personal.

Giorgio, kudos for being the one to remember to bring a camera! Thankfully it was overcast so the glare off my head didn't wash out the pic

Unfortunately, for me, lately things have become a bit complicated between my new account, truck, and driver issues..I hope things get squared away soon with everything, and I actually get some time this season, to enjoy my cars, and make some kind of appearance somewhere also. I've spent the whole weekend driving form Tennesee, to South Carolina, and then stuck in a hotel, in south carolina, 'til monday mid-day sometime. Then it's beck to the same routine for atleast the next few weeks..

Heh
I am down for planning another one, maybe later july or early august
I am thinking 12 mile drive in Newport, RI. Awesome sites, free, huge parking lots, and its a great drive. Plus it'd be great to convoy into Newport, get some food somewhere, with a huge line of Benzes. 12 mile drive is right off of Bellevue Ave, where the famous mansions of all the Robber Barons were. Hell, if it's cheap enough (which I believe the Astors Beachwood may be) we could use the grounds for the day, and give our Benzes a good backdrop. In any case, 12 mile drive is a great locale, as is newport. I know we just got done with the other GTG, but I'd love to see a bigger turnout and a super nice locale(not saying this wasn't a nice locale, BTW) Anyways, great time, I'll start looking into locations and see what the deal is. Regards, Kyle

Kyle you should see what it would take to get the Astors place for a day! If its not much we should do it.
You guys were nice to provide food and beer this time, but next time we should all chip in. Maybe like $20 a car to get a "ticket" and that can buy beer and food, whatever is left we can donate to a charity or something. IMHO Newport would be just about perfect to have one! BTW doesn't my SDL look sexy in the picture!
