Guys, this year I am doing something entirely different for newport... I am making it a charity event. I dont want to release all the details yet but its coming... I need a few people, some from, NY/nj, some from MA, some from RI and CT

please let me know if your willing and able to help out

Pete - Let me know what I can do from the Connecticut end of things. As soon as you nail down a date, I will let you know, as of right now, July is wide open.

Ditto:

Sundays are best for me, but I could take a Sat off.

yeah shoot me a pm with more details

awesome thanks guys... I have a pretty accurate date for the event as well... I'll send you guys a pm in the next couple days when I straighten out a few things...

ok sending out a PM... looking for some sponsors for this and some help to organize caravans...

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!!!

How come I feel leave out?

Pete, please pm me the date. I hope it's going to be the weekend I have off.

Yo Pete....you know I'm always willing to help a brotha out. Let me know what you need. I'll catch you at the powa.

.....and don't say you need more Viagra again.

hey guys... well of course a few people recieved a date... I think I might set a new date, I am trying to feel a date in June out... please let me all know how you feel about June dates...

Hey Pete, this might be a stupid question but is this strictly Mercedes?

June is far enough away, I can make most weekends, just pick a day and I will put it on the schedule.

I'm gonna speak out on this one....NO.
We always have different cars at the Newport meets.....MB, BMW, Porsche, Lotus. I'm sure Pete would agree when I say......bring whatever.

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.

ok ok, here is the deal... I just got a DJ to help out, he will be playing music for us as well as helping out on the emceeing duties

HI Pete,
I wish you pick the weekend that I have off, just pm you.

not a problem bud... I replied


Guys... its been brought to my attention... July is way too hot for this event... does anyone have problem with July or would you prefer it get moved to June?

please chime in here... I hope to have a date squared away by the end of the week...

June, July, August. All the same to me.

I'll wont be missing it this year.

make it on a sunday so i can go to.

this event is bad for me on a sunday... I dont get home till about 10 or 11pm... Why not close down on saturday and become an event sponsor and sell some product down there

hes right...july will be really hot...but that just means we'll have to be more prepared...lawn umbrellas, more coolers, a few ac inverters and fans? haha
of course june works too...the earlier the better cuz i cant waittttt!!!!!

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.
