SLR Test Drive

A couple of days ago we got an invite from MBZ in the mail to go to Miami to Miami to test drive the SLR. The event will be held at Homestead-Miami Raceway. Apparantly the whole track is rented out for the event. Event dates are October 11-12, 12-13, and 13-14. I was just wondering if anyone else got this invite. I guess its a limited event but I'm trying to figure out why we got it. If anybody wants the RSVP info, send me a PM (I think it'll be fine if you RSVP without an invite).

I got the e-mail invite this evening, I thought it was because I went to the AMG event this May in Homestead.

I told a friend of mine about it and he really wanted to go but couldn't because he is getting married that week. I asked him how many times is he going to have a chance to drive an SLR compared to how many times he is going to get married. He thought about it for a while but couldn't answer because his future wife was standing right next to him.

If you got the invite by email within last few days you would not get in.
There was a letter with the invite by regular mail about a month ago.
Can't go myself,will be in Vegas with kids at the same time.

There might not be that many takers since they had SLR hot laps at the last couple AMG events. They even called me 2 weeks before one of them to sign up. I'm not going, but if I got a credit for the $850 a night room package that includes a benz to drive, I might think about it.

i got the invite as well. but it's like 2k - 3k to go. stay in ritz carlton in south beach included in price. you pay for plane ride in. for that much, just go rent an exotic locally.

now if they let me have the SLR for the weekend down in South Beach? i'd gladly pay 3k for that. serious player...
