Hey Ashman, how about the idea of collecting some
salad in order to buy Benzmac a 'something'
to commemorate the opening of the new MB
shop in Atlanta??

Some nice gift from the California contingent.

gold plated banjo bolt remover??


Contribute $10, $20, $30 each.
Since you are the Calif. moderator maybe you coud organize this?

Thoughts?

I'm travelling to San Diego tomorrow for a week, so
that will give time to bounce the idea around.

These people have done alot for us and it would be a nice gesture
to show appreciaion.

Denis

we could chip in and get him some kind of award. I have no problem with chipping in some dough towards it.

Any other cali members want to second the motion?

e-mail me at asherson@msn.com - new e-mail address if you want to join in and get a plaque or trophy or something along those lines for benzmac and bill.

Maybe a nice compilation plaque made up by us?

Thanks Alon, I'll check back on the status of this thread
when I get back.
Hope some others are good with the idea.

If we set a fixed amount based on number interested,
that would be an idea.

Even if there are few, I don't mind contributing.
I think Benzmac would appreciate it.

I'll contribute for something for their shop. I get so much enjoyment from this site. I appreciate all of the help I've gotten and the time the techs spend helping other people out.

Why limit it just to California, though?

It could just be from their 'friends from the Mercedesshop.com forum'...

Thanks suginami, Groups have local meets so why not a
thank you from California State?

If others follow suit, it will be better for Benzmac to see various shows of appreciation from several states , concrete versus written praise!
ask not what benzmac can do for you, but what you can do for Benzmac!

.........soomething like that........
