Portland, OR MBCA show and shine
Someone mentioned about this event before. It's on Sunday June 11 from 10AM-4PM at Grand Prix Imports. I'll be there. Anyone else from PNW?

I'll probably plan on stopping by sometime later in the morning for a look. Sounds interesting and it's only about 15 minutes away from where I live. Look forward to meeting up with others.

I got all caught up in driving a Speed Yellow 996TT and forgot all about it. Damn.

Well Jeremy, the worst show ever. I got there a little bit late (2pm, the show supposed to be over at 4) only few classics (Old SL, convertible S, SL with chevy engine 
) up there. By 2:15 everybody was leaving, so I went inside to see few exotics.I had the chance to hear Carrera GT accelerating and DaYUMMM. By 2:30 didnt see any mercedes outside, So yeah a little bit dissapointing, but the guy who works there said there's gonna be another show this weekend for father's day, so probably I'll stop by to check it out maybe a lthis time I'll try to get there a little bit early 
. Sorry didn't have my camera with me.

Sorry didn't have my camera with me.It's too bad there isn't a big German Autofest in this neck of the woods. We need to get all of the Mercedes, Audi's, Porsche's, BMW's, etc together.
PS---Good seeing you today.

I'll have to second Ian. Not to interesting at all. I got there about noon and was out of there by 1:00pm.
One very cool classic (SL300) and one CLS55 with some Renntech mods and that's about it for owner cars. There was a SL55 with some Renntech mods and that's about all I remember that stood out for me in terms of MB cars.
Inside was the usual awesome collection. My favorite was actually the orange Lambo. Looks like they just got in a new Bentley and there was also a new BMW M6 (carbon roof was very cool). To bad I missed the GT firing up.
I would be interested if another show comes along but hope that the turnout is a little better. Maybe I should get some of the cars up and down my street to turn out:
two MB CLS 500's
Ferarri F430 and older Testarossa
Porsche 997s and Cayenne
Audi S4 and A8
Masarati Coupe
BMW 745
Jeremy, I'll try to stop by your shop later next week if I can find some time and have a chat.
