I met God yesterday... well, almost? :-)

I went to my local MBCA concourse yesterday and met Pierre Hedary. Holy smokes! It is unbelievable how much this guy knows about vintage Mercedes! He literally went down the row of vintage cars talking to owners, dissecting each car to the smallest minutia, and giving each one of us tips. It was sooooooo cool!

I know he is well-regarded here and people mention him on posts here and there. It was a true pleasure to meet Pierre in person and hear him talk about our cars. Of course, it didn't hurt to find out he owns a 72 280SE 4.5 in green/cognac!

I also got to meet another fellow forum member who happens to be local. Very nice to meet you bud!

Here's a pic of me (center) and a couple of friends. And of course, Wolfgang on display too!

I was listening to God speak as well... Had lots of fun at the concours. So yours is named Wolfgang? Mine is Greta. It's too bad she couldn't make it, but she's getting a beauty treatment...

He was amazing wasn't he??

His full name is Wolfgang Adam Gerhard. We'll have to have him meet Greta when she comes back from the spa!

Great meeting you in person!

Hey Bud and Jose. I thought I was the only one on this forum this far south. I am in Miami, and I have a 1967 230. I didn't know they were having a MB event in Ft. Lauderdale. Randy

Hey Randy! Good to meet you. The event was MBCA, not part of the forum. I just joined, but I'm quickly finding out the club is very active in South Florida.

I sent you a PM with my contact info.
