I am also staying at the Extended Stay in Horsham. Looks like this is the official residence for Chad's Benzfest.

There are two of them sort of back to back with each other: Welch Rd and Dresher Rd. I'm at the Dresher Rd. location as it was $20 less per night.

Dresher Rd. for me too.

[300D-91]

Chad,

Count me in. It will be me and the 91 300D

[pwogaman]

No longer me and my two boys, each with their own 300D 2.5 Turbos. Now it looks like just me, likely again in the 300TD.

5 days to go!!!

7th Annual Southeast PA Benzfest
Saturday, August 23, 2014 - 11am until ?

We can start at 11am and go until whenever.

I'll do Burgers, Smoked Chicken Breast, Smoked Brats, Roasted Veggies, Quinoa Salad, and beverages including some home brew, soda, and water.

We'll have 5 categories of prizes again this year along with a few cool raffle items from our friends at Pelican Parts. I believe there will also be some MB inspired art available.

I live about 1 mile from the Montgomery Mall to give you an idea of where I am. I'm between Allentown and Philadelphia. I'll give my address via PM to everyone that will be coming.

Anyone that still needs the address, send me a PM and I'll get right back to you.

I need to back out . My father was going to co-pilot with me, but he lost a bunch of time this week to being sick. Also, the 23rd is the day that a farm that we pick peaches at opens for picking, and since my mother had her emergency surgery during peach season last year, we are really down on canned peaches and need to replenish bug-time. My sister is too young to drive and my mother really shouldn't drive at this point, so I offered to skip so that we can go picking.

Hopefully I'll make it next year. Have fun, y'all!

[Simpler=Better]

I'll be there, may or may not be a +1 (if he's not on call Sat.)

1 vehicle(Ranger again, don't get me started on the project car), I'll be hawking my spare parts out the back

PM me your cost$/head so I can bring a proper donation

Booo

[Chad300tdt]

Sorry it won't work out this year, but good luck with the harvest.

I have a batch of Peppercorn Rye Ale and a batch of American Mosaic Wheat ready for the Benz Fest!



I also got a picnic table so there will be a bit more seating this year. Bring chairs to be sure you have a seat though!

if it works for jooseppi, you can give them to me and ill transport them back up to near him. he can always run down and grab them from me at his leisure.

ill let him confirm with you if he wants to do that, but the offer is on the table

I was gonna PM you and say it's off, but if John can transport them I can definitely wander down to RI to get them.

Thanks so much. I appreciate the offer and I'll take it... that helps.

If I buy a busted OM617 IP that Ben has, could I throw that into your car as well ? I'd probably be able to go down to RI the afternoon or evening of Sunday the 24th (the day after the GTG), if that works for you.

BTW, these are the parts we are talking about:

Let me know if any are too big for you to take...

[JB3]
