Sounds like a plan!
http://forum.w116.org/lounge/group-meeting/new/#new
I'm in with RobertD, date and time to be confirmed, but looks like venue is sorted :)
Sometime mid January I suppose.
I'm in!! Lets set a date ASAP
And.....
PM sent to Depa, I'm sure we'll get something off the ground. Hopefully more will turn up than the 2-3 we usually get here in Victoria!
I don't like to brag...

but seriously, everyone needs to call up or email someone they know with a 116 and get them to come. from the MB club, one thats parked nearby, whatever, you just make contact and say this is the date, keep it nearby and not too long and attract more people!
What about next Sunday!
OK, here we go!
Sunday January 22.
6pm.
Here:

I didn't find Oscar, but I'm FB friends with his wife, I've sent a message to Nat sending the link to this thread.
Ok W116's
Don't forget today at Sunbury,
come one, come all,
Just remember to come!

I did a ring around yesterday Rob, sadly, at this stage, it's just you and me!
Look forward to meeting you guys!
Awesome to meet some of you guys today and your 116s thank you for visiting my restaurant. We gotta get together more often!
Sorry I couldn't make it but the GF's Birthday Party was booked ages ago and it obviously had priority.... I'll organise another in a couple of months and give lots of notice so everyone can make it.
And suggested dates at this stage (or dates you definitely can't make it)??
All good man, definitely sounds like a great idea!
Well, what a great afternoon/night. Firstly thanks very much to Nick and his excellent restaurant! Well worth a visit:

RobertD, Kozzy, Jarrod (Robert's Son), Nick and myself were attendees. Lots of rubbish was spoken and it was by consensus we agreed to make it a more regular occurrence!
We just need more people to show, you know who you are!
Pics to follow later.

Wow awesome pics guys! Love them all. Thank you all for visiting and making an ordinary Sunday fantastic!
Damn those Mercs look good!
Great afternoon guys.
Good company and a fantastic meal to top it all off. (Thanks muchly Nick!)
And great to meet "Honorary" new member Jarrod, whom I'm nominating as official event photographer from now on.
And who is is this "Oversize" fella that keeps crashing our posts? I seem to remember him from a longgggggg time ago. Haven't seen him for ages. ;D
nice pics guys and great shots. nice colour mix!
Nicely done gents!
If I were to try and arrange one of these here in Vancouver I will be the only one there :'( In all my time here and since owning the 6.9 I have only seen one 116 here and it was an old dog 300SD and she was on her last legs too.
Plenty at the wreckers though :-\
Great Pics guys! Thanks for sharing....wish we had a group like that here in Michgan.
What a perfect selection of W116's and a handsome collection of owners - well done guys.
Hear, hear! :)
Damn it I wish I could've been there! Ahhh well next time..... And yes I'm still here and not going anywhere anytime soon! Maybe this year I'll have something on the road???
