Eastern Seabord Drive! Am I the only one envious of the No Cal guys?

Those guys are having too much fun. Good for them. The rest of us need to get off our duffs and organize our own local drives. Who's with me?

I'm taking the lead, and asking for anyone in the mid-Atlantic states to contact me. I know you're out there. I used to see an R171 regularly on Atlantic Beach last summer. Let's start a dialogue and get some drives going. It's an amazing drive from Wilmington up to Nag's Head, NC. I don't have to tell anyone how cool the Blue Ridge Parkway drive is.

We have a beautiful state with some beautiful drives here in North Carolina. I'm proposing a weekend long drive sometime between March and June. I'm giving lots of notice in order to hopefully get a big response. I'll also cross-post in the R171, SLK32, and SLK55 threads.

Let's make plans to go somewhere, see something, do something...

Yeah that would be a lot of fun, but cali has alot of these cars unlike a lot of other states, I have only seen 2 of these "roadsters" around my area. But use the site frapper bazzle has it posted in one of his threads, its a location of benz drivers in the world. Sorry I don't have the direct link to it.
