if some of us come in early enough to secure a few spots, we can probably make it happen. but i'm open to other suggestions.

infected: Sunday, Aug. 16th will work for you and the other peeps??

Come on up and you can visit the 6-CDC you sold me. Still works like a charm btw.

If I'm in town on that day (most likely), count me in.

Don't look at us, didn't MBUSA kill the coupe early for you guys? We had them available MY2001-2006. Sedans here are still a dime a dozen, though they've largely been replaced by W204s, which are also now a dime a dozen in this town.

I'd prefer to meet somewhere we can have a cold beer. We can always go for a tour afterwards to find some photoshoot locations.

16th works for me, looking forward to it.

If its before noon should be easy to find parking, if after we should pick a different spot, maybe a parking lot at UBC since school is out for the summer.

I'm OK with it, as its 5 mins from my condo!

I still say we go for beers, especially with the weather we're having, it'd be nice to see some "scenery" serving us beer.
