I will pick a time and place to get the Connecticut group together. If the New York guys can wake up early enough, maybe we can join forces and have a large group running to Newport. If you are interested in making the trip, send a note. Looks like the last weekend in July. More details to follow!!!

thanks stiggsie...

I found benz only meets to get kinda tiring, I would get a lot of people to committ and then they would drop out near meet time...

so now I do events for everyone. In the end, we're all car guys and most of us can appreciate what each person brings to the table...

Thanks Stiggs, if all goes well there will be a good size caravan coming from CT. I'm seeing what SLKRoy has in mind when a day is set. Hope to finally see you on the road.

thanks, man, PLEASE .... pick a weekend that I have off, so I can be Roy's wing man from CT. That man is really crazy on his SLK.


The new england weather is really crazy those years. You would never know what the weather is going to be tomorrow. I don't think the temperature should be a major factor for the event. The bringhter the sun, the better the pictures are going to come out anyway. Plus, it's summer, and we all need some Vit E from the sun.
