If it's April 26/27, I can make it Sunday. Other weekends, both days.

Wasn't our last meet on a Sunday? We all went to Catena's, he was wide open.

All of them, as much as I can...
Hello all, I'll go.

But I just bought a vintage mini cooper ('94 German Mini35) so can I bring that? 110 kph on this car feels like 120mph on the CLK. A gokart on steroids...

Oh $h!t - like the one Franka Potente drove in "The Bourne Identity"? That should be fun! I grew up around these little buzzers - they had a lot of these up in Denmark where I spent many of my teen years. Bring it on!

I forget - is a permit necessary? I don't think so, and don't remember anyone mentioning it last time, so I don't think it's an issue.

So, looks like we're definitely set for Sunday, April 27th at noon. Sound good to everyone?

Ray, I'd love to see the Mini. I went to a Mini meet once (they had the new one there; was at BMW's NJ HQ), and really liked them. Cool little cars.

Please bring your E. I still want to check out that Upsolute chip you have.

Didn't he do a write-up at some point of his results with the chip? As far as I remember, it wasn't too great of a change from stock.

I was there at the Bear Mtn. meet, and watched the install. Was really quick.

Sadly, I'll miss going to the shady liquor store in Edison to buy beer. I'll be on the beach in Florida on the 27th. I would have loved to have shown you guys my 1998 E, or my new old toy, my 1983 300TD wagon. I am still having nightmares about the scary giant Reuben sandwich from the meet last Fall!

Have a great time!

****, I just read this thread from the start. Nice guys, nice.

You should try to get the RedSLKchic to come off the Island and visit you. Maybe you'd like her more than you like me, apparently

Even in jest, I can't say I've ever been accused of being sidetracked from booze for a nail salon

Again, I'll be thinking of you standing in the parking lot in Edison while I'm sipping a mojito on the beach

(wow, I used a lot of smilies here)

Ya know, now you've made me depressed.

As I picture myself standing in a parking lot in Edison, my will to live just goes downhill.

:p

Funny!

Anyway, here's the summary so far:

Time: Noon

Place: Roosevelt Park, Edison, NJ

Directions!

People going so far:
Me, of course
Rbrenton88
Silver_Lana
Young
Columbus
tifosiv122
Taucher
XtacyOD
nubomb
Safet ?
techbike (will either bring E, or Rick will "accidentally" slash tires of his mini)

People blowing us off to stalk over 6' men in FL:
BenzE

At some point, we'll need to start up a "who's bring what" food thing, but we've got 3 weeks. Hopefully, I'll be between jobs (trading in my overpriced Italian clothing employee discount for an overpriced plasma tv screen employee discount).

If anyone wants to post something over at bnzsport, benzworld, or their favorite mb forum, have at it; the more the merrier, except for Columbus' previously mentioned yellowjackets.
