I'm in...

Wow, finally an organized Mercedes meet in South Florida. Sure beats the GTG a couple years back in the Muvico parking lot and then getting kicked out!

I talked to the organizer and said besides the "door" prizes, Einsteins is providing bagels for breakfast...so that’s one reason to get there on time. The traffic and parking later in the day could be a problem too.

The display is over after the awards and prizes are all given out or presented probably between 4 and 430.

When you said 9:45 was too early...you weren't kidding! You probably woke up at 4.

The next one will probably be around the same time next year unless we crash some other meet or someone gets one going.

Thanks

Hi Everyone:

I just wanted to say thanks for making our get together a great success. It was great to meet everyone. I appreciate all the time you spent making your vehicles look so good for the show. Congratulations to you..........we couldn't have done this without you and your support.

All the best.

Guilty!

Maybe we can set up another meet here before next year, even if its not a MBCA meet. South Florida needs more meets to keep up with the folks in Cali!

Joe,

You did a tremendous job to make it work! The dealers, the vendors and the even the appearance of Rick Shaw from radio made it a great event. Hope it is the first of many to come.
