If the lead driver has a couple of flags pinned on his front fenders it might come off as a diplomatic motorcade,the one that George W gets from time to time.When you think about it were all heading to a Summit meeting .

I am in, and will be in Houston that weekend. Lets just hope that work does not change my plans.

I have some fairly BIG parts --- perfect Maroon dash --- that I could drag along IF someone wants it. *HINT, HINT, HINT*

Also, everyone knows by now that some junkyard days I find myself in Old Mercedes car heaven. IF anyone needs something, contact me via PM or email and I'll see what I can do.

What car to bring? Oh, what do I drive?

Something big and white?? Might need more shake down time with that one though.
It is getting close and I sure hope there are a lot of folks going that just haven't committed. This particular "events" forum I don't imagine gets much action....

it's automatic.

You can bring a Bavarian Benz with you, heck, you can bring ANY car (even though I'd prefer a MB IF you had a choice, which in this case you don't), I just want MB enthusiasts to come. We'll have to kick you out of the group lineup photo at the end though.

Hmmm.... I wonder if I can issue an infraction for that....




I am going to be down there with a friend for work, but like I said in another thread, my weekends are open... I would totally bring my TE with me if I had it, but I am flying down to Texas, so thats not an option.... I wonder if I can rent an MB though.... My work is paying for it all...

Ill rent you out one of my Mb z for $150 if your leaving from Houston and returning the same day.Pulling out on the highway that Saturday morning is when the fun starts.

If you are flying into DFW, I'll meet you on Friday night and lease you my car --- either "Coda" or "baby polar bear". One stipulation of the lease is that I get to ride in the passenger front seat. Lease ends on Sunday morning.

Or, if you want to ride with me, I'll have plenty of room. Your friend could come too.....as long as neither of you are axe murders and enjoy "rock and roll".

Well, the driver's seat is quite comfortable in "Coda" and her AC blows 59F at 45mph. I wonder how cold it will get at 80mph; I mean 60mph.

"baby polar bear" does have a CD deck though and a working Fader switch. I guess tonight I'll have to work on Coda's fader.
