MD/VA- FEB 9th - Schnell Wednesday GTG @ Rockville

Bensitto usually posts these up. The event is organized by the crew at http://wwwschnellms.net. I've been posting and trolling over there. Seems to be a good bunch for sure. I am going to go, and I would like to see if any of you other bums in the area would like to meet up.

Next Date
**FEBRUARY 9th**

Time
8:00pm - 10:30pm



Location
North Parking Lot at Silver Diner, Rockville
11806 Rockville Pike
Rockville, MD 20852
301-770-0333


Anyone interested. I know some of the NY/NJ folks but haven't met any of the locals to Balt./DC.

Not sure in the winter, but the Vdub crew is obsessive, and will usually show rain, snow, hail, or hell. More then the turn out I was impressed by the fun approach and respect these guys have. I posted one of three MBs on their forum and received a lot of praise. Not a single disrespectful comment. Benzino's has gone to these before.

Is this in a covered garage? Do you all get together even if there's rain?

Whats up everyone... Hopefully it will NOT rain but if it does here is the information for garage... I took this information from schnellms.com forums...


Schnellms.com
Hey everyone they are calling for rain tomorrow night. If it is raining we will be meeting in parking garage by the Barnes and Noble, Sports Auth & Starbucks shopping center.The shopping center is on 355 and Montrose/Randolph Road on the right hand side if you are going North on 355 past the usual GTG spot. Second level

Yes, it's a covered garage, and Shawn from schnell is going to be filming people rolling in.

I asked him for detailed directions, since I am not familiar with the area. Here's what he gave me. I am coming from north of Baltimore. If anyone wants to meet up, PM or email me. nukblazi@comcast.net

used mapquest directions to find the plaza, but the location has changed slightly. Here is directions from the GTG organizer

sfenwick**:well normally you turn left just past the diner which is mid pike plaza

sfenwick**: instead of turning left go straight to the next light and that should be the intersection of 355 and Montrose/Randolph

sfenwick**: just throught the light on the right hand side there is a shopping center with a starbucks, Barnes & Noble and Sports Auth.

sfenwick**: turn right into the the parking lot and go to the bottom of the lot. At the bottom of the lot you will have to go right or left, you will need to make a left and you will see the entrance to the garage on the right side. We will be on the 2nd level.

lowphat you can't not go, I forbid you as I am dying to see your car! I will have my Kodak DX, so I can take 6.1 mpix shots of our cars and/or up to 30 minutes of video...

Had a great time meeting you all and admiring all the cars. They were all great. Loved lowphat's CLK and the green 300E was pristine! Great looking car.

I have a going home story. C23K vs. R32 vs. VR6; light to light, three across down 355, then 60- 120 on the hwys... place your bets

I only discovered this forum a month ago and am definitely addicted to it. Besides the great info and opinion exchanges in the threads, it's also great to be able to meet fellow fanatics like at the event last night. I heard that it's every other Wednesday. I hope to come to at least every other meet.

Thank you for the comps on the car. Everyone I met was very cool and relaxed. It was nice to see the VW's too - but I think the entire stable of Benzes that showed did some proper representin' of the marque.


Nukblazi - bet's $100.00 on your ride.

EKaru - Black is beauuuutiful (girlfriend could't beleive you offered to let her sit in it!)

Bensitto - your ride is tight - mini MAC would be over the top.

Mark (Spruce Benz) - I'd pay by the hour for lessons on detailing from you. Your car looks factory fresh and those fender flares are siiick.

I suck at names but I also talked to three other guys who were very cool.

Take care.

For sure!!! Leo's whip is very good looking!

I quoted you in a post about leaving the lot and heading to the garage. Thank you for what was in my opinion, a compliment!
