Let me guess. Chappy's going to rent the run-away so he can do some "runs/activities" with it right? 
:p Hey Chapster! You know what you need to do on this right? Vids is definitely a MUST ya hear me!

2005 Kleemann Stage 3 E55
THIS JUST IN..... The 2006 E55 will come with your choice of Pratt and Whitney F119 35,000 lb thrust motor or 493 hp MB engine (same as 2005 engine). There will be an additional cost for the Pratt motor.

Mark one E55 down from Indianapolis!!! I'm in!
Any other out of towners want to stay at the same hotel/stay in the same area and catch a good dinner the night before?
I'm open for ideas and suggestions.

We've always got room for free on couches at my fraternity house. I'm not sure exactly where the GTG will be but I'm smack dab in the middle of ATL so it can't be too far away. And Friday the 29th is the last friday before finals so we'll be having a good time that night.

Also, I'll probably come spend the night at the selected hotel with you and we can find a place for a nice dinner Friday night (steaks, martinis?). I live about 45 minutes away and don't want to be boozing and driving
BTW, spouses and SO's are welcome too.....don't blow off the event just cause you think they have to stay home.
Additional confirmations on the details of the day are pending and will be settled soon. One thing's for sure....this event will be mucho fun!

This event promises to be *THE* AMG-specific event of the year (privately organized). We expect a huge turnout and will likely expand the event to the whole weekend, pending other details and confirmations.
Friday, April 29th
At this point, we will welcome folks in from out-of-town Friday evening with a dinner (probably steaks, etc.) We are in the process of selecting a suitable/reasonable hotel for folks to stay.
Saturday, April 30th
Main Event: Three parts to the day (one will be the photo shoot and the others are pending confirmation details). We have invited a special guest to join us.
Sunday, May 1st
*Possible track day* - 1/4 mile drags (still working on this, but with good participation, this will likely be a "go").
Bring your spouse or SO...make a weekender/mini vacation out of this!
If you plan on attending, post on this thread. There is ZERO cost (for registration) to participate! As the plans fall into place, we will be updating with the details.

:p !!! If it's really all AMG then that would be something but i'm pretty positive you guys will have a mix of non AMG as well. But then again who knows right Chappy? you guys might even have some 
included.. Don't forget pics and vids.
