Picts from the event

Man, the MBCA local section website is not to active.

I thought I'd post these here for you guys to view.

Is this the best website for the GWS area?

Looks like there was lots of older cars (and people). I heard if some of us would have entered the street contest we could've won

I thought about reving the engine as I left, but thought that would be bad form.

I've never been to another MBCA event so I don't know how this demographic compares to other events. Though, I'd agree, there wasn't a big "younger crowd".

Chappy, I know that's the local website. They have no forum. Thanks for posting though.

It's the GWS forum on the MBCA forum site that I was talking about.

I guess I'm used to the Ferrarichat site. The guys on that site reply faster then 911.

Glad you liked the shots.

Misunderstood, sorry. I see your point.

FWIW, the only way that demographics are going to change is if people join and participate...I've met some great folks of all ages in 10+ years as as member of MBCA (I joined when I was 29).

IMO, the MBCA is the absolute best organization for the Mercedes-Benz enthusiast...young or not-so-young. There are numerous active volunteers who contribute countless hours for the enjoyment of the other members and guests. Nobody else but the MBCA has put on a great variety of events that have broad interest and appeal (track events, concours, social events, tech sessions, etc.)

Can you tell I still enjoy the club after all this time?
