We can shut the place down that day, a very "mysterious" bomb threat could just come in to that place that day and clear it out!!!

Just for you!

Garret, I'm expecting LOTS of pics! (Since I can't make it.) Grad school forces me to sit out for another 2 years.

Thanks to Jim B.and all of his help, I have a new 1989 560SEC. Black with Mushroom interior. I called Jim B. to go look at the car Thursday Night, He drove it and vetted it out and secured it for me on the spot.
Sir Nik and Justin drove it this morning, Ernie gave it a once over and I'm here at Jim B.'s to take it home in the morning.

I believe she'll be driven to the Diesel Drive next week if she drives out on the drive home (5 Hours) as good as she has driven today.

cool - well the more the merrier, I was just curious.

I am getting really amped up for this event. Was chilling out on my porch Saturday and 14-15 Corvettes in a row rolled by - doing their own club drive. Ours is going to be so much bigger, better, & louder.

We are absolutely pet, spouse, children, singles and couples, young old and in between friendly!!

This Diesel Drive sure looks to be the biggest one we have ever had!! It is the largest number of folks and cars signed up we have ever seen, by far!! It should be great!!!

*************

Also, how about some door prizes? Some pick and pull gift cards or something?

*************

What about a Diesel Drive 2008 2nd annual Nor Cal Polo shirt and T shirt?

Doesn't Cafepress.com or someplace like that have them available to design and sell?

Anyone wish to look into that beside Justin??

*************

It should be a really great event this time!!!

Hey Jim or Justin or Nik, where are we meeting Sat at 7am at IKEA? This is going to be an awesome sight. Mercedes after Mercedes, taking over the freeways. What will the CHP do?

Is it true? If I bring my 116, it will be one of two (the other a 6.9 ) and the oldest MBZ there?

Where are the 115/6 diesels?

Troy,

You read my mind!! I was just wondering whether to call you today and see if you were coming!!

I helped Charlie380SE buy an '89 560SEC, in Sacramento on Thurs-Sun, and the car was here through Sunday, now it is in LA with him. We had it taken care of at Ernie's on Saturday for the trip. He should be back to either West Sacramento or even here (Grass Valley) if he wants to crash at my house the night before.

So yeah, you want to join me, or me and Charlie in his SEC for a 3 car caravan down to IKEA on Saturday morning?

I just talked to Justin tonight and it looks like we have around 10-11 cars likely signed up to meet at IKEA parking lot off Reed Ave in West Sacramento.

We are going to gather at 7:30 with a departure set for 8:00am (because as a practical matter, usually the cars ACTUALLY leave at 8:30 or later, Justin says.)

For SURE then, we have you, me, Justin, Nik, Garret, Derek, that will be there.

(That is six.)

I am working on contacting Networkboy, GoldenBear, AzimuthAviation, bondavi, kain786 and grnburg: If all of those guys show, that would be six more.

If Charlie shows in his SEC, that's one more.

= could be 13 cars.


The Sacramento wagon train sign-up should cut off, at say, midnight on Thursday.

We'll do a roll call, and should have everyone there, and take off around 8am, with all cars, out of IKEA Saturday.....

My car is at Tomlinson's getting a final waxing, polishing, detail and clean up, and should be ready to be picked up Thursday or Friday depending if I can get a ride there.

Give me a shout tomorrow if you want to do a mini caravan to IKEA out of Grass Valley, maybe meeting up outside of Lin-Q. If Charlie shows, that will be three cars out of here....

Glad you will make it.

Anyone coming from the east bay area interested in meeting up and caravaning from here?

my friend Mike is joining me. he's a 4x4 guy, but is tired of making payments at the pump. so hes decided that a Mercedes diesel is the best way to get MPGs and still have a cool car. so once hes seen how awesome all the Mercedes people are we'll have to find him a Benz of his own.
