Ft Lauderdale/Davie Florida 1st FRIDAY GTG 4/4/08

Ft Lauderdale/Davie Florida 1st FRIDAY GTG 4/4/08

Come out and join other Mercedes enthusiasts at MBCA- South Florida's monthly get together at the Tower Shops Cruise-In.

FRIDAY, APRIL 4th


There may be 3-400 cars of all kinds on display on any given Friday. The selection should be great as the season and weather bring out even the fussy garage queens for your viewing. You can see classic American cars (some going back to the 1920's), sports cars of all kinds, especially Corvettes, muscle cars, hot rods, and others. There are also car-related memorabilia, a DJ, numerous vendors, and other things of interest to see...fun for one or the whole family.



On FRIDAY - APRIL 4th, the club will reserve a section just for Benz owners. We hope to see lots of you (and your Mercedes) together on the first Friday of the month. Give it a try!!!!!




Follow the blue and white Mercedes Parking signs. Great place to display your car, talk shop with other enthusiasts, or just try a change of pace. Lots to see, great places to eat and drink both during and after the display. Meet some experts and specialists in restoration, customization, or parts procurement to make your Benz all you want it to be.


Mark your calendar: Friday, APRIL 4TH from 6:30 PM. Cars arrive between 6:30 and 7pm and it's all over between 9 and 10pm.

Tower Shops (for Mapquest-Tower Shops, 1904 S. University Drive, Davie Florida 33324; where Davie Home Depot is located)

DIRECTIONS:I95 EXIT 595 WEST to University Drive EXIT, go SOUTH on University. Enter shopping center at 2nd group of lights, LEFT at Chevron station EAST side of University Drive, just south of I - 595, Davie. Turn LEFT , about 100 ft, at 1st intersection between Chevron and Taco Bell on perimeter, service road. Our section is directly across from the Arbys, NW section of the parking lot.

FOLLOW THE BLUE AND WHITE SIGNS to car show entrance ...ask attendant to direct you to Mercedes Benz Parking area.

LOOK FOR OUR BLUE TENT ACROSS FROM ARBY'S. ..to your right... once inside the entry point to the car show.



THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO ATTENDED OUR RALLY MARCH 2nd. IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS BECAUSE OF YOU!!!!!!

Settle down buddy. According to these stats: SLK 320 - 3.2 L (3199 cc) 218 hp V6 engine and a 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds, you're around same class as a Cadillac STS that weighs about 2.5 tons in terms of numbers. So I wouldn't really go about telling other people their cars are "slow". Don't need to take things so seriously it was just a joke.
