Possible conflict? Heard there is a MBCA event on June29th, at Lime Rock?
I'd go if it was a litlle closer than Princeton...Jersey City would be great!
j/k
Anyway an MBCA guy here in LI told me to keep June 29th open for a club event at Lime Rock.
I don't know if this is official. I didn't see it on any of the rags.

I'll be at the 29th gtg, of course. As for location, I'm flexible about it. It'd be nice to have it near the NJ/PA border, though.

If you take the Belt Pkwy, then cross Staten Island, you'd be in Princeton in a jiffy. I wouldn't mind coming out to LI, say, Montauk or Sag Harbor, but we're already doing Bear Mountain, NY.
Whatever...I'll drive just about anywhere in that fun car of mine.

So, how'd the trip go?

Re: AMG event
Young,
I don't think it's an annual thing. It's a special event and yes, hosted by the AMG group in MBUSA in NJ. Supposedly by invitation only and the list they have are current AMG owners; doesn't make sense if they're trying to push the AMG cars. Limited to 160 participants but the signed-up list is short because of the steep fee. I wasn't on the list but I called and they put me in anyway.

Ray, actually you're not so special. :p I got an email invite to the AMG event also.
Money seems a little outrageous to me, especially since I'd be driving an AMG. What's the fun of a track with a slushbox? I'm actually looking into track days at Limerock and Pocono for my crx, where it's about $125 a day. Much better, plus I get to drive my own car, and test its limits, which will help me more than driving a car that I'll never own.
So, what are peoples' thoughts on a mid-afternoon meet on the 30th?

So, is there still interest in a June 30th meet? I think that we can still pull something together.

hiya
ok, let's get a final tally!
i have columbus, tommy, and me as definites.
i'll email gregc230 b/c i haven't heard from him in a while.
techbike, you're not going to be here?
email or pm me if you have any comments.
if you guys don't mind, i threw out an idea for manayunk on the 30th - there is an art/craft fair so parking is difficult but my office is very close and we can use the lot for parking and carpool. besides the fair, there is auto addictions (name?) something like that. it's kinda small, but they're nice and you can look at all the chromed wheels you want.

Young, AutoAdditions is open from 12-5 on Sundays. That would be really cool to go and look at their shop then. Maybe even get an Eibach set of sway bars installed. I'm going to call them tomorrow about pricing.
Sounds like a good location for a meet.

techbike, fall meet!
here's a link to manayunk
http://www.manayunk.com/eventdetail....8&sponsor3id=0
and auto addictions. it's kinda small but they have catalogs! checkout their cars.
last year, they had a small mercedes showing and actually, that was the first time i got to sit in the sportcoupe! but the mb presence may have been a one time thing...
btw, i'd like to be able to have a couple suprises - but i haven't yet confirmed them yet... one doesn't look like it will happen one is up in the air - 50-50% chance... and finally, i'll be giving away 2 small benzsport url stickers if anyone wants them (let me know). i was sent those by mistake.
