Thumbs up Addendum..

Hey folks, trying to get a Orlando get together going. Lots of people claim they want to do it, then never back it up - so what I am proposing because it is kind of hard to check the forms all the time is to create a phone list for the locals. Or at least a email list so we can have direct contact with one another.

Maybe we can get together on the weekend sat/sunday during the day and do a cruise for lunch or something? Good way to represent the Mercedes Benz's. Young and old alike! =)

NO HONDAS/BMWS/ACURAS/LEXUS (Glorified (Honda) ETC!)

What ever happened to this idea? We have enough people to make a decent get together? I am from SW Florida (Naples/Ft Myers) so it would be a drive for me. New to the board just got a Renntech C320 sports coupe and love it!

i think late afternoon/evening would be better, that way most of us that have to make drives won't drive at night when most of the bugs are attracted to headlights. God knows the 3 1/2 hour drive from Miami is going to leave my car pretty dirty by the time i get there. But i think it would be a great idea, i would definitely go but we definitely have to have plenty of time in advance b/c i work saturdays and i'm sure a lot of others do as well
