Just wanted to drop in and say that I'll be there. Let me know if everyone wants to join up and drive down together, I know a nice scenic route that I take when I head out to that part of Connecticut.

Okay great... ummm this is a Mercedes Forum dawg, people mod them here, so they are popular to mod...

So how do we get one of those 15 slots guaranteed?

Don't want to start an argument here but I've got about 6 MB coming, compared to 60 Bimmers. Other makes are more popular to mod, therefore I didn't expect to reserve as many spots for "Other" makes. And just like I thought, there are only about 12 "Other's" coming. For all the complaining I've heard, you're still under the 15 car quota. Additionally, its not that I would cap "Other Make" registrations at 15, that was just the number that I expected to get. I'd be more than happy to leave more spots for you guys, if more people wanted to come to the show.

Anyways, if you'd like to come, just send an email to Eurofest2008@gmail.com with the following info:

Full Name
City/State Where You Live
Make/Model/Year of Car

See you guys Saturday!

this might come in time when you get older but a suggestion... IF you are limiting attendance... you might not want to tell people the numbers... this keeps anyone from feeling hurt... but brands that you are missing are porsche and benz... Two of the largest German brands there are... From what it looks like to me... its not a euro show, but a Vdub show... yes, audi is VW and you are throwing a bone to everyone else...

Thanks for for the suggestions from your much older (25) mind, but you can keep them I'm an open book as far as this show goes, I'm not keeping any secrets from anybody. If anyone asked, I would have no problem posting every car that is coming. I don't know whose "feelings" you're referring to that have been hurt, because I haven't denied anyone entry to the show. I do have a few Benz and a couple of Porsche coming, I'm sorry there aren't more. However, it isn't my fault that more of those owners haven't registered for the event, they are more than welcome to.

And yes, my background is in Volkswagens and Audis, so many of my friends with those cars are coming. I'm not biased though and I don't want anyone to think I'm just "throwing a bone" to the other brands. I wanted this to be a mixed event when I first started advertising.

Also, I don't know why this is such a hard concept to understand, but the magical number "15" was just my estimation of how many "Other" makes would show up at the event. Its not that I am limited the registrations to just 15.

Buegie, I hope the parking will be sectioned off by brand? I would feel a little awkward to find my black Benz in the middle of 50 VWs...

Yes, everybody's going to be separated. I'm waiting until Friday so that I have all the pre-reg's before I set a final layout for where various Brands will be in the lot

Maybe Buegie would let you park next the the Aggressive Ovelays booth with that fine S500 of yours. I will have my 08 C300 there.
