Anyone from here will be there maybe ?

I'm sure to get tix from AMG for this again and 'might' drive the 500E down if others will be in attendance.

Let me know, I might have an extra tix or 2 to giveaway also...fingers crossed.

Yes! Johnathan and I will be there. I hope you decide to come, Jim.

Damn shame that Dave bought most of them.

I overheard Bill Gates saying "Dave, just until payday, I promise to pay you back."

Damn shame that Dave bought most of them.

He is indeed starting to hit the big time with his E500E refurbishment business, bootstrapped with the considerable purses his wife is winning with her racing success.

I wish my wife would support me like Dave's better half does him.......

This was a great event. I'm glad you prompted me to attend, Johnathan. I had just completed quite a bit of work to my car including dialing in the ride height. Unfortunately I didn't get one of the lock nuts for the SLS linkage tight and lost the linkage altogether. I was able to readjust things after the event and wire it in place for the ride home. The quality of the event dominated over the small setback.

Stunning photos -- thanks for sharing!

Here are some more pictures.
Johnathan brought the SEC. The AMG SEL is from Atlanta.

Glad to have you along Drew! Your 036 most Def belonged on the field that day....You own a spectacular example...

Good to hear you got the linkage "set" well enough to head home. Did you hang out till Sunday?? I neglected to get your cell number on Saturday....:-/

Hope ya'll enjoy the photos...i've tried to organize them some. I also got Al's and Claudius (white E63 wagon's) pics in there now for a few more bits of eye candy to gaze upon.

For those that are thinking of going, book now and Go. It's just flat out worth it...the enormity of the cars you are looking it doesn't fully sink in while you are there, it's simply Too much. But reflecting back it just leaves your jaw hanging.

Edit @ drew...yes, you were there on Sunday.. Only Panther pics?? Pan American dude...my dad owns one for ... sake!;-)

 

[sheward]

I never hooked up with John (Kenneally) either day. So much to do in a short time. After tinkering with SLS Saturday following Cars and Coffee I returned and hung out with the transporters unloading the heavy metal down at the beach front. I had no knowledge of the Panther...just liked it a lot. Same with this Packard 2 seat conversion.

This is what the first week of March looked like for us here in Connecticut...

I wish I could have gotten one of the MBs out, but as you can see, it was not yet time to come out of their hibernation...

Great pictures guys ! I missed a good show this year, I know.

If we don't make it you'll need to stop by the shop on your way down, so leave some time open for us!!
