Probably in the afternoon, so dinner would be fantastic!

By the way, last time I went down to NYC I stumbled across a W123 sedan with police lights (!) that seemed to be very excited to see a fellow Mercedes diesel. Anybody know who this very interesting person might be?

I would definitely love to meet you in person, and take a look at that wonderful train of yours!

I can officially say CONTACTING TIME HAS STARTED!
Anybody have any "star members" to suggest a visit to?

Arrrggh! That would be a perfect coincidence, and would bother Texas PP members a little less... however, I need to arrive to Cali by mid-June.

As soon as I get answers from more people, I will start planning a schedule. Hattie and Fulcrum, you two are first! Chad should follow since he is on a time crunch.

If you come through Houston, I might be able to have an impromptu GTG of forum members at a small park or something to welcome you to town.

you have to put some info on your "the adventures of Newport the 300TD" blog!

No posts it says, and otherwise looks promising

This trip should be a good opportunity for that, or is that what you planned?


PS- Im still interested in the 3.07 if its for sale

Alright so next Friday; do you have a time in mind? (New Haven area traffic can be brutal)

Best to let Hattie pick the restaurant as he knows the area better.

I'm visualizing a nice coffee table book project here . . . or at least a photo essay for a Mercedes magazine.
