I'm all for it.

One thing though, March 4th is only a month away. I don't think we're gonna get too many people to come given the short amount of time.

I'm further south at First Colony and Hwy 59. No, I'm actually not familiar with that place. I'm a big fan of domestics though, so it would be cool.

"SooprmanX" is in San Antonio, maybe he can get some other MB owners together and get a caravan to Houston.

I would come over there for this, but I am probably going on a cruise with Striclyea (SooprmanX is the head of it) down here in SA-Town. Too much gas $ to go to Houston and back and then go on a cruise the next day. There's an event called Hotwater Blast that's held every year in Houston off of Nasa Road One. It's March 26th this year, I think some of you H-Town boys should come out to it. There's supposed to be a good turnout from our club there and I would love to meet some of you MBworlders.

I might look into that.

h-townbenzo, you think this is going to work out? Do we have some kind of sign-up list going already? I think I might be booked this saturday, not exactly sure though.

I think this will work out. If you want to, I can start up a sign up list, not that it would make much difference, I had a sign up list last time and some people who said they'd come didn't come at all, or others who didn't even bother to sign up came.

The reason I ask is because it turns out that the cruise is on the Sunday after this one, so I might just come to this meet. If you could post up the exact address, including zip code (for my GPS) I would appreciate it.

Well due to some confusing information in the thread I was reading about the cruise I got confused. It is this weekend, so I will not be able to make it, but I will post up a reminder about Hotwater Blast as it draws near.

Tommorow's the big day, looks like the weather will be nice, with a high of 71 degrees. See you all there.

Our get together turned out VERY well, very enjoyable. One person came all the way from Alexandria, Louisiana. Pictures can be found at http://www.benzworld.org/forums/foru...id=41#M1812125
