Maybe Maybe

Hey Chad,

I haven't been on in a while. I went back to school and that has kept me quite busy. I am finally getting around to rebuilding my green 1987 300TDt. I also just started a new job, so I can't ask for days off. So - maybe if I get the car done, and maybe if I have the day off, I would love to come down. It would be a nice break, and I would really like to see what you have done with my old ride.

Hope that all is well, and that you are still as happy with the car as the day you bought it.

It sounds like ths is coming together. I vote for the 27th, then. Now, I'll have a deadline to work towards. I hope I can get the Dee8gonator roadworthy by then.

I appreciate the kind words but it's more like that constant pre-release hype for the big summer blockbuster that leaves you thinking "That's it?".

Hey Doug!

I'm glad to hear things are going well. It would be great if you could make it. I'd love to see that green w124 on the road again. I am even happier with the car than the day I bought it ... it took some time to learn about it and fall in love with it.

Mark the spousal unit and myself to attend. I've got more loyalty points than God, so we'll snag a room nearby. Which car do you guys want me to bring?

I might be able to come ... depends on my work schedule, which I won't know until last minute. I have a feeling I won't be seeing another Saturday off for the rest of the year. But it's only a little over an hour drive for me so maybe I can do it anyway. I'd love to show off my refinished wood and hopefully by then I'll have more done with the sound system.

Not sure about the Ferrari at a Mercedes GTG. How about the Jaguar?

As long as a few MB's show up, I'm happy.

Powerpig, I say drive whatever will make your journey the most comfortable. I'm looking forward to meeting the people behind the cars. That being said, I'm partial to wagons.

As far as lodgings go, it looks like Justin will be crashing here in the guest room. I have another queen size sofa sleeper in my office and two couches in our basement family room. Other than that there's floor space for sleeping bags (if your back can handle it) or local motel/hotels. I'll make sure there's coffee, juice and breakfast Strata for anyone spending the night here.

Look in the first post for the google map link and look at the hotels in the area if you want one.

I think the Residence Inn is the cheapest and the Joseph Ambler Inn is by far the most beautiful (and just down on the corner).
