Heya guys. We're thinking about taking the w114, the w126 SD, and the w204 C300 to starfest. Would anyone like to join our convoy? It's pretty cheap to attent (like $35 or something.) It looks like it could be fun and I've never been.

Darn! going to be in Ohio that weekend!

I am thinking about making the drive out there from CA.



Just trying to get some other stuff worked out/worked on before then, and it pretty much hinges on that.

ehhhh I'm only in the MBCA for the discount and magazine. my local chapters are just a bunch of old people going to boring antique shows and polo matches

Or doing wine tasting/driving to some country club for lunch... :/




Thats why I want to go to StarFest. Sounds like one helluva time.

Well since they made traffic tickets a $1000.00 minimum in VA I will stay clear of that state-for sure.

I thought that was only for state residents. And there's going to be a diesel in the convoy (along with a /8 coupe with 3.91 a rear end) so it's not like we're going to scream down the highways at 100mph

Also, I don't want to go to starfest to hob-nob with the snobs, I want to go to starfest with a peachparts posse so we can crash their party. We can park in a giant conga line consisting of our lovingly (and sometimes interestingly) maintained vehicles. I think it would be fun.

I want to go, but need to see how the next few weeks go with work. Its a very long drive for me, but I can write it 100% off if one of you is interested in buying a car of mine.

Funny, I was just elected president of my section at age 24. This weekend we're having a show and shine at my shop (our VP is going to demo some zymol wax and some griot's garage stuff in my air conditioned building)

Then, yes, a vinyard run.

I hope soon to tour an old nuclear silo converted into a house soon.

Also, a few years ago I was able to snag this for half a day from a business partner of my father's. Each person who attended had the opportunity to drive it.

That had to be a riot to drive. I can only imagine how an SLR drives. It would be a pretty ridiculously long drive for you Tyler, but it would be killer if we had a peachparts convoy.

If Ben and I went, top speed would be about 62mph.....while going downhill.
