Markus

I have set aside April 16 & 17 to attend. I live in London On. about 2 - 2
1/2 Hour drive. Would crossing at Detroit be shorter than Sarnia?
Photos of my White SEC Euro can be seen on the MBNZ.org W126 Forum near the
bottom of photos page 1, has the Euro blue velour interior. and only 64,000
KLMs. also pictured is my 560SEL Euro that I'm offering for sale this
summer.
PS: New listing for a 87 Red SEC Toronto On.

> Hi gang,
>
> Well, our get-together is only 6 weeks away now, so lets see some
excitement and hear from you all!  This is the list I had previously:
>
> James Edwards
> Greg Mailloux
> Richard Giampietro (maybe)
> Ken Mauldin (maybe)
> Jonathan Hodgman (maybe)
> Brent von Behrens
> Chet Hwilka
> yours truly
>
> I know there a bunch of "locals" so I don't need to tally them for hotel
rooms and such, but still, come on folks, is this it?!!!
>
> I talked to Satish last night and here is the thought on the sequence of
events for the weekend of April 15-17th:
>
> Friday April 15th - come to town and meet for dinner somewhere.  Satish
suggested maybe hotels in the Birmingham area as one could walk places
instead of having to drink/drive.  Townshend Hotel was one name mentioned.
>
> Saturday April 16th - morning spent doing tech sessions at Motorwerks
(Satish's shop).  The local MB chapter will be running the tech session.
Hunter Engineering will also be there to demonstrate their alignment and
tire balancing equipment, paintless dent removel guys will be there,
detailing guys will be there, alloy wheel repair guys will be there, and so
forth.  That should take us through early afternoon.  A brunch will be
served.  After that, Satish has graciously offered his shop up to those of
us who want to do some work on our own cars - YES - he will allow us to work
in his shop with his tools on our own cars!!!  How often do you get that
chance?  Then later that night we'll meet again for dinner/drinks/fun and
that should wrap up the day.
>
> Sunday April 17th - Greg Mailloux who is local to the area offered to
arrange a tour of the Detroit Public Library to see the National Automotive
History display.  Both Greg and Satish told me it has one of the largest
collections of car related (not just MB) memorabilia, photos and
publications.  But we need to know who wants to do this so he can arrange it
with the curator.  After that we could all split up and go our separate
ways.
>
> So....lets hear back folks, so we can finalize the hotel room situation.
We haven't done that yet since we don't have definite counts and don't seem
to have that many right now commiting from out of town.
>
> So send in your replies and think spring!
>
> YEAH!
>
> Markus (can you tell I'm excited!!!)
>
> p.s. on yes, and to entice you further, there will be a special "event"
occuring on Saturday as well that I can't give too many more details about
at this time.  Okay, so I'm giving you a teaser.  But I don't think it will
disappoint..!
