Trying to get a group to start some GTG's in the DC metro area this spring/summer. Hook up your rides and reply or PM me if interested. Meet locations could be anywhere, most likely Tyson's (VA), Georgetown(DC), or Rockville(MD).

Definitely let me know if you set something up. I live in Richmond, but am up in DC all the time.

I was just about to post and suggest a DC/MD/VA gathering, so let me know if something is planned. Tyson's, Georgetown or Rockville all work for me.

By the way, this might be a dumb question, but what is a "GTG"?

Count Me In

I would love to get out and shake some of this cabin fever and stretch the 500's legs a bit. Found a great stretch of road on the GW Parkway which runs by the airport and thru Old Town with some spots along the way to pull off and congregate. I am sure I can rev up a few other folks as well.

I'll be in Miami this weekend until next...

If you all want to set something up that would be cool. I'm glad there's more people interested in GTG's in the DC area. Most likely I'll be organizing some in mid to Late March and hopefully all spring/summer!

Hope I didn't miss this one. I'll be out of town until mid-March, so hopefully something will be planned at about the time I get back.

I agree that it would be great if the weather was nice at the time of our GTG - I prefer not to take her out of the garage if the weather/roads aren't great :-)

Hope to meet all the local MB enthusiasts soon!

When's the next one?

I was outta town and couldn't make it to the previous GTG in February. Is another one being planned? White Flint mall seems like an easy place for people in MD, VA and DC to get to. The weather should be warming up soon (hopefully!), so if anyone is interested, let's start kicking around some possible dates/times.

How about Sunday, 18 April?

Friday or Saturday nights are a good meet night. We could coordinate with other European car meets that get together on those nights or just do our own thing. My sundays are usually all booked up.

April 16th or 17th would be nice especially if we get some hot weather around here. Let me know who is interested and we'll select a location. Georgetown, Rockville, or Tysons area are the best places to meet but Tysons is tough cause cops always break up the meets there.

friday the 16th

Alright, it's supposed to be a rainy week in DC, but Friday is going to be nice.
Planning on a GTG this friday the 16th in Rockville.

I'm thinking that we could all meet up at TowerRecords at Congressional Plaza around 7pm. If that doesn't work out top parking lot at Best Buy? then hang out for a while and later drive down 355 to the Starbucks.

If anyone has other suggestions let us know.
