Christmas is always a mad time, how about when things quieten down in January we have a W116 get together? In the format of previous events? A morning coffee somewhere. Lets pick a date and hopefully a few will show.
Any takers?
I would go if I didnt live in Wisconsin you Aussies have such a tight knit group. How great is that. Ive seen on other sites people trying to get a get together but no luck. In a big place like the USA you would think you could get a few vintage MB owners together for a few beers and conversation. I envy you guys have a good time and Ill have have one with you. Lee
Well, you're sole reply as of today :)
Yep I'm interested!
Bingo! Mark, you have any time off in January? I'm flexible but I know you have to plan ahead. Oh, forgot about the move too.
yep, sounds do-able.
OK, let us get off to an early start for 2016.
Sunday January 3, 2016
A nice drive out of Melbourne:
http://www.glass4classics.com.au/event/drysdale-autopro-classic-car-show-2016/
I propose an early morning meeting in Melbourne for a coffee but we will need to be on the road at 8:30am at the LATEST.
We can meet up with Robertd at the show.
Hmm I'm flat out moving until the 23rd. I might have to pass this time unfortunately
Thanks Carl,
This is a great venue with plenty of parking under shady trees,
I went 2 years ago and it had a great variety of different makes and motorbikes.
I will dust off the Gold 6.9 for the day.
cheers
Bump!
I'll be heading off tomorrow to meet up with Rob.
there will be another "newby" 116 affectionardo coming tomorrow, he drives a metallic grey 6.9 very nice.
So where's all the pictures??? Unless it didn't happen....
Ask, and he shall receive :P
