Come on I think we at least hit 10 last time. Just have to get the adverts out early and make sure you have a really good location that's convenient for as many people as possible.

Yeah that was a good turn out, the ones before you joined were smaller.

The best turn out was at Bill's in PA a few years ago.

...and in Wichita... Oh wait, I have to drive at least 300 miles for a meet.


There was one in Wichita where I got to drive a SLR for half a day.

Wow! I had no idea your car was that clean Man good shape W123's are rare around here. Its good to see one that's in good nick. (The clean wheels make all the difference in the world)

Thanks, but my car is nothing compared to some California members: Turbobenz and Mbeige have really nice cars.

I refinished the bundts myself... I have mixed feelings about not having them anymore.

Pentas have their pros and cons. I would trade straight across for 15" bundts.

Pro Number 1 of pentas...easier to clean

I know how hard it is to clean the 15 holes on my wheels...I can only imagine how big of a PITA budts must be to clean....


I paid mine to be redone a few years ago and they are still holding out pretty good ($75 each to be stripped and repainted) If I do it again in a few years i'm going to look into powder coating them.

I recognize that coupe....its the one with the Hemi badge on the back isn't it

I'm going to step up to the plate and start the planning for the New England area. The hardest part is finding the right location to have the meet....I'm thinking central CT area so we can get people from NY, NJ, CT, MA and maybe even VT and NH.

I've been pondering this for a while and one of the places that I thought about was Elizabeth park in West Hartford. There is a strip of parking spots right next to the grassy areas across from the restaurant which I could have reserved for Mercedes only....I may also have an idea on how to provide free food..

(Park regulations say no alcohol, hope that isn't a problem...............Hatterasguy )

Nothing definite, just throwing the idea out there until someone can come up with a better one.

"The thing is Bob, its not that I'm lazy...its that I just don't care."

Drinking regulations have never stopped us before, we just use plastic cups.

Besides I don't have a MB anymore I probably won't be going...unless I can borrow one.

Justin has a ton in his sig.

Maybe I'll stick the 420SEL badge and star on the tailgate of the F150 I buy and call it good.
