Amelia Island

We got notice that our 2005 SL55 has been invited to be in a display of SL Mercedes at the Cars and Coffee at the Concours on Saturday March 14th
at Amelia Island. They have put together a display of 40 SL Mercedes. Would like to meet anyone is coming to the Concours. Ours is the black SL55 with CLK Black Series wheels. On Sunday afternoon I'll be working as a class host
at the Concours. As always this is one if not the best car event in the country.

All the paper work and entrant information and pass came today.


Will definitely take some pictures and post them here after the event.


If I don't for get to take my phone or camera like I did last year(it sucks getting old and forgetful).


The events at Amelia keep getting better and better each year. This is only the third year for the Cars and Coffee at Amelia. We were there the last two years with our 911. This will be the 20th year for the Concours.


I will be a class host for the race cars at the Concours Sunday afternoon.
