Thanks C & R for hosting such a great event!

I had a blast in the limited time I was there. Sorry I had to run so soon.

Great people, cars, beer/food, and a great time. Was nice meeting everyone, especially those I've chatted with over the years.

Look forward to clearing my calendar for next year and coming up with a cool(er) car to drive over. Appreciate the kind words on the 6.0

Yeah, Bruce, you were really slumming in that pristine 6.0 126 . . .

It was great to finally meet you.

3nd Annual Southeast PA Benzfest
Saturday, September 18, 2010 - 11am until ?

We can start at 11am and go until whenever. I'll provide food and beverages again but anyone is welcome to bring something.

Let's get a head count so I can plan for the food and drink.


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

Pics from last year's GTG are in this thread starting at post #655:


*If this date doesn't work for enough people, I'm willing to move it to a Saturday in October, but the weather will most likely be cooler and possibly rainy.

Would love to make it, but that is the weekend of the PA renewable Energy Fest about an hour north http://www.paenergyfest.com/

I will be at the energy fest promoting our glycerin soap made from the biodiesel byproduct. www.washtyme.com If you're in the area stop by and say hi, biodiesel will be promoted well there as well as solar, wind, geothermal- anything sustainable

If anyone wants any biodiesel we are about 15 minutes from your location, please let me know so I can make sure we have enough on hand

That's cool. I'd be interested in getting biodiesel for my 3 vehicles. I see your link, should I contact you through that to get some fuel?

COOL! Now that I'm a w126 owner, I need to examine your vehicle with my new perspective.

I'm going to be better prepared this year so I can spend more time with everyone. I get better at that each year.

I'd love to see the same group from last year with some more people. After seeing how 30 cars fit on my property, I think we have plenty of room for more.
