Well as much as I love taking pictures my awesome stock CLK430 (Insert Sarcasm here _____ ) I unfortunately didn't take any at the meet only got to park next to one W208, it was black w/ the chrome wheels spoiler in the back, the only thing my car stood out in the whole Mercedes meet was my Germany "D" sticker in the back windshield.

I counted about 4-5 ML's... some really nice ones too !
I was running around so much, I didn't take too many pictures.
I hate that, because I love to document every single car that attended.
Speaking of which, anyone get photos of the B200 Turbo ????

I would love to track a car such as this. I don't know how many true AMG 560SEC's are in the USA. I can't believe there are too many.

Sorry ! my bust... need to pay more attention, when I take pics.
That is a great looking 450SEL 6.9 (W116) too !

I missed the blue 240D (W115)

Those are the cars that make the meet. I personally love all the oddities/vintage/someday-classic MB's.
