Thought I was outta here today - now they tell me it is tomorrow morning....

If so, will have first batch of pics up within a week; with more to follow about every week, for about 6 weeks straight....

Then the new batch of cars will start arriving, and being photographed, and posted here.

It has been worth the wait. Hard to believe, I know -- but it will have been worth the wait....

And thanks for having asked so nicely -- I appreciate that, really.

You're not my favorite person on the forums, BklynBenz...........

But of course one of the purposes of bringing something special to a meet would be to share it with those there, and to give people a chance to experience the car through a ride in it -- and the purpose of sharing is to share with all....

So I suppose the answer is 'yes' - would have to be 'yes'.

You want me to ride in a rented tractor trailor? Good grief, I'll have my GM of the domestic fleet arrange for one of my Northeast drivers take us in one of my New York based carriers

In all seriousness, I want to go. I'll drive my *** myself!

The mbevents.com web-site says:

"The AMG Challenge Website,
which was supposed to be
available on Friday, March 17,
is unfortunately delayed.

Please check back on
Monday, March 20
to register your customers."

So, the wait continues...

Registration E-mails were sent out today for the AMG Challenge/Graduate Programs. I received my e-mail about an hour ago!

I signed up for the August 2 AMG Graduate Program at Lime Rock!

Hope to see everyone there!

Jangy, that's the one I'm doing too. Looking forward to it but a racing novice. Know anything about this course or the area?

I was hoping my wife could go just to see the event, but they said you are not allowed any visitors. The only way is to pay for them as a guest.

Hubby says he's going to go so he can take pictures and video. I can't imagine they'd be turned away at the gate.

I'm sure they want to discourage participants from inviting many family and friends so they don't have to deal with providing additional services. However, they should expect that you would want to share the experience with a spouse or significant other.

I tried to talk hubby into signing up for the course, but he said he just wasn't interested enough to pay the fee.

I'll try to contact Homestead or an AMG Challenge rep to see if I can get more details about the issue.
