Hey Pax,,you should be #1 bro,,,LOL,anyhow,,,I guess the 15th is out and now we're talking the 22 or 29th.Both are fine by me.Ernster,I got your PM and I guess the final date will hinge on how many like the 29th better,as well as weather considerations.

Not sure fellas, Don't have time to drive hardcore into NY, I was hoping this would be more near Jersey (More places to park and easier to access like the past successful meets we had) but I'll sit this one out, have ya'll and post up lots of pics!!

Hey Vik,

If you can propose a decent place, route, eating joint in the New Jersey side that would not be too far from the big apple definitely let us know. We can certainly make adjustments for this. Remember this is only the first gathering. The much bigger and better one would be in spring or summer, one of those long holidays with mondays.

Stemags, dude, you have a nicer car and I am sure better stories to tell... I am just more pestier so I can pest people to attend.

You guys should come to the meet in NJ... we might even have media coverage from local news channels because we expect it to be quite a turnout. Please come, its all for a good cause.

The initial conditions of the meet was no snow on the ground and temperatures above 35 degrees. Since those two criteria have not been met then technically we should not meet.

I personally would rather wait for a better day.

This meet got postponed for a much larger European Car meet... it was benefiting the Tsunami Relief... apparently the Benz owners didnt show up in large numbers like they were hoping

the other NJ meet, I never showed up because I read it was postponed, then received a phone call the next weekend that it was on. I was going to drive up, but we had snow here in MD, so I didn't risk it.

Keep us posted if there is another meet please.

I'd love to drive it but looking at it will just **** me off because I want one, but can't even think about one unless I lived in it.

I am in NJ about every other weekend. This isn't going to be one of them otherwise I would meet up.
