Ha ha. "No, I'm not hauling fuel. That's actually my fuel tank there on the back . . ."

What's the mileage on one of those? 7-8 MPG?

Way to promote your GTG, Chad! Of course, as I type this, I realize September will be upon me before I know it. The CLS was everything I had hoped for and more on the trip to Charleston last week. I'm looking forward to the trip back to North Wales in September!

I think that weekend may be open and I will try to attend, I am only about 15 minutes from your place.

If anyone coming into the area would like to get some biodiesel I have been making it for 2 years with a friend and we make some very high quality fuel. We do not technically sell it as on-road fuel but we have a fuel can that you can borrow and fill up if you don't have your own. Once it is sold it is out of our control what you do with it

Our shop is located close by, and I could also bring a few full cans in my trunk if anyone would like to purchase it, price is $3 gallon right now subject to change. Please send me a PM in advance if you would like fuel.

Andrew

Yes - I'll be there with the 1995 E420, may even bring Karen, my wife.

Food - do you prefer Appetizers, or deserts?

Hi All, I tried to make this a few years back but it did not pan out. I am not certain which car either the 500E or the 85 300SD. The SD is almost complete
with a few shake down runs and I would like to get some real time highway miles
on it. Since this is the first Diesel benz I have worked on in over 20 years it would be great to pick some brains ( before they get pickled) I need to see what the fmily schedule is since my kids start back to school the week before.
If I can get my 68 caddy fired up, painted and sold I will have the resources to
finish up both cars. Any way put me down as a yes and if everyone could list out what if any vittles that are bringing I could decide what is missing.
Alan

OOOPs!, almost forgot IWROCK did you get a ride/stay squared away ?
I am going one way or another and I live 7 minutes from Dulles Intl airport and about 30 from Reagan National. either one would work. As for accommodations
we have a spare room as well as a separate sunroom with sleeper couch ( your preference) Let me know I did not read all the replies here so you may already have this taken care of.

Thumbs up I can make it...

Howdy,

Since I am just down the road in New Joisey, I can cruise up to PA and stop at PHL if anyone needs a ride from the airport...

Since I have missed every GTG in my area (TX,OK,AR,LA) since 2007, I'll make an effort to show up and visit with the East Coast crowd!

My Benz is still waiting on me to put its cylinder head back on, so I'll have my other Merc- my Marauder...

It would be a pleasure to hang out with fellow Mercedes-Benz folks and talk Diesel stuff...

Oh yeah, the very best vodka is Tito's: http://titosvodka.com

See ya!
