If you guys gathered on the northern side I would be inclined to make the trip...(I like the idea of Busse woods as well, at least as a rendezvous point)

Later in April would work better for me as well.

Anyone here have SLVR C55 (or something like that) as their license plate?

Saw a clean looking C55 with the new paddles at the service bay today. Also there's apparently a Red C55, debadged, with full Kleeman S/C kit on it around these parts!

I have serious cabin fever so I'd be up for a meet sometime in April! I vote for a sunday rather than a saturday. Since I got rid of my SLK55, I currently do not have a mercedes but hopefully my ML63 will arrive by then (I ordered it first week of february and my dealer said 8-10 weeks). If doesn't arrive in time, guess I'll just crash the party with a non-mercedes vehicle unless anyone objects to that?

OK guys,
Let's shoot for Sunday, April 15, say 3 pm? As far as location, from convenience point of view streets of Woodfield might not be such a bad choice.

I understand that we wont be able to please everyone with the location but let's compromise

Comments, please!

I called the guy back and left him a message after he called and I have not heard from him since. I went on vacation for a week, so it's possible he called a few times and didn't leave a message.

This time if we can find a nice country/highway/etc stretch of the road we might have runs of C32 vs C55 or C32 Renntech vs C32 Evosport etc. I personally never driven C32 and would love to swap with someone for a quick run.

And we can all finish the day with a nice meal and couple of drinks.

Anyhow, let's make this meet RULE so let's hear everyon's ideas!

Eugene

I am in. Just say what dates and times so I can see if I am available. Weekends are best for me.(modification) I just read full thread and Streets of Woodfield sounds great on 4/15/07 at 3pm can I offer any of my non-mercedes friends to come? I want to show my american muscle friends what euro or all about...lol

Streets of Woodfield is right across from the actual Woodfield mall.

You'll be greeted by Dick's sporting goods first if you are getting off of 53 to get to there.
