Saw a C55 two nights ago on DesPlaines in the west loop area. I was in a dealer loaner C230 and tried to get his attention with no luck.

Off topic...

Since they don't have a Chicago forum here on mbworld.com, would it make sense to setup our own site for Chicago owners? I think it would get decent traffic with all the MBs I see in and around the Chicago area.

I think it's a good idea. If you would be able to do it that'd great. As for a meet I like Marcus' idea of a weekend meet for lunch at a place with a lot of parking.

If you guys want to show up earlier, there will be a sunday brunch, all you can eat buffet till about 11:30 till about 1 after that the cars show should begin as most people will pull in around 2.
Plus we also have a bar, so anyone 21+ can buy drinks.

I'll be cruising over there with a bunch of other cars which we will all meet at Des Plaines and everyone cruise from there. We will leave for the cruise around 1:30ish.
Let me know if you guys are interested.
many of you might have seen this on Euroteknik aswell.

Plus we own the property aswell, soo no trouble from anyone, and the lot easily fits 300+ cars.
All of you are welcomed to come, but let me know asap if you'll be able to make it.
I won't be there with my benz, but with my Z as I am coming with the Z/G club.
There will be plenty of euros/imports there, making it a nice big show.
