It was great seeing everyone again and as always, many thanks to Chadd, Raquel, Ethan and Fi for having us over. Great food, great cars and I still can't believe I won an award..

Love to see pics whenever someone gets a chance, it was a beautiful day, what was the turnout?

I ended up breaking down and abandoning my borrowed car, taking the train back, so its probably a good thing I didn't make it all the way down there, as Chad would have an additional houseguest right now.

Going back down today with a trailer.

Somebody was more than a little thrilled with her People's Choice award. Very cute was the Mistress.

Even cuter was the level of "twin sisters from different mothers" that went on all day with you and Darling Wife. Thrilled, if slightly terrified, of where this is gonna lead

Thanks to everyone for making yesterday the best Benz Fest to date.

It was great to see everyone again and get the chance to meet some new faces too.

There will definitely be a 6th Annual Southeast PA Benz Fest.

Here's a link to the pics I took.

Chad, Great pics! Thanks for hosting another great time. Perfect weather. Your friends from Canada brought some fine beer (#16).


Thanks to JohnHef and the gentleman from Ontario who helped me change the headlamp wiper blades on the CE. Talk about over-engineering a product!

Nice to meet BodhiBenz, Ramona Jim & Darling wife, GatorBlue, Bill from Pittsburg, Will from DC and the others I met but can remember by car only.
How about that V12 380SL! Hope he didn't drink all the beer he brought!

Hugs to Mistress. See ya soon. Sorry I had to leave so early.

I had a great time seeing everyone... the joyride in the V12 R107 was a real treat

Also looking forward to videos of the injection pump test stand up and running

Hey Chad,
Thanks again for another well organized gathering. Apologize for not being able to stay longer as the wifey was just getting home and missing me. We'll get together soon. The brews were very tasty. Lol!

A few more photos

Here are a few more photos to the GTG to add to the collection.

Meridythe and Jim Kelly, Barbara and Louis Tennant from Frederick, MD, and Mistress enjoy adult beverages on the veranda. Barry, Mistress, and Johnhef compare notes on 126s, whilst admiring Barry's fine example. Aaron Sheen points out mods to his SEC380, and Mistress stands in shocked awe before John Roncallo's souped up 107.

Sorry we were late getting there, but we had a great time, Chad and Raquel. Thanks again for all of your hard work and hosting another terrific GTG,
