Florida People: Boca Concours Ride/GTG

February 19-21 is the 4th annual Boca Raton Concours d'Elegance in, obviously, Boca Raton, Florida.
http://www.bocaratonconcours.com/

** EDIT** GFEAR has just advised me that this is also Supercar weekend in Palm Beach! It's further north for those south, but definitely worth the trip!
When you reply here, add which event you'd prefer

I plan to go up on either the 20th or 21st and I'd like to get a few people together to ride up there and walk around and, maybe, do our own "Concours d'Benz" afterwards to include eating.

These are preliminary plans, and if you have a better idea please feel free to post!

Below, include your username, your model and which day is best for you
The list:

1. fortlaudsummer - W211 - 20th or 21st (doesn't matter which)

Not even close

Although I can walk to the Palm Beach event from my home here, the MB event will be far more interesting.

Where is the event?

Cheers,

Marco

We'll go to the PB event and then get together. For those of us south, we can meet up somewhere and ride up together.

I just checked the website and the supercar event has been moved to the 27th so we need to decide who goes to which event.

Saturday the 27th...a week from this Saturday. There's a big parking lot just east of I95 on Marina Mile Blvd which is just north of 595. Another option is the park just east of I95 on Sunrise Blvd.

If someone has another idea for a meetplace post it up in here....

Around 12:30 or 1pm meet time....then ride up.

I'll let someone from Palm Beach hash out the details of PB part of the day.
