Topic: WA 116 gathering sunday 9th december

[nathan]

hi guys,
ive sent an email to those i have the email for but wondered whether a meeting on sunday 9th december might be in order? i know John kindly offered a visit up to his place in York previously. selfishly i would have trouble getting a whole day free so thought a gathering startring around 9-10am and including a drive, with a conclusion of lunch at a local restaurant. exact plans would follow but id be interested in rough numbers.all 116s welcome, forum members, club members, hobos who sleep in 116s - all welcome. if the date gets set, ill ask the local merc club to email those interested.
regards
nathan

Hi Nathan at this point in  time i have the 9th of so count me in even if i will be Merc less

[TJ 450]

I'll attend in a 116 of some description. My 280S needs a radiator refurb ASAP, so probably the 6.9.

I am in as well  Tim, those Spheres will be in the boot for you as well. How did the MBCWA meet go? was unable to get there as the wedding the day before went overtime

Awesome,

Thanks Goldacre. I'm hoping we'll have a good turnout this time.

As far as I know, the MBCCWA meet wasn't popular, at least I don't think any of us went. I was off the mainland too.

I went, fairly good turnout but down on last years numbers apparently. Rejoined the club, maybe I"ll get more function, maybe I won"t.

The 9th of December is my wedding anniversary, don't feel like loose another nut but I'll be there is spirit.

Regards,

Giles

Anyone take photos?

hi guys, you will find a brief video of the day on the facebook page of "Mercedes Benz car club of western australia", strangely under nathan! the video wasnt up to my usual standards so i wont add it to my youtube account.
the weather was great. location was actually very nice. but a bit small. sadly, aside from SLs, there seems to be little interest in anything older than a 126. one 116, one 108, one ponton and so on.

i will PM other forum members including WGB, Philpot, Split, plmstr92. any other wa'ers i may have forgotten? i think ryan1980 sold his car.
i dont wish to disturb WGB, but im not sure if anyone else has details on ChrisP who has a 6.9 and came on our last one?
TJ, do you remember a red 116 with plates MH31908. it was a hubcapped regular 116 and i cant remember who the bloke was!
i sms'ed 5 other 6.9 owners and will see if they reply. ive emailed Walter H too for any contact details.
 hell, if i see a 116 in the next few weeks im gonna pull over and ask them.
i think it would be a pretty cool effort to try and get a dozen plus cars?!!

Ps Chris v no out as away

[entresz]

I'm gonna move to WA just so I can go these 116 gatherings. There's nothing like this down in Hobart !!! 

[TJ 450]

Sounds good Nathan. I believe both of my 116s will be going one way or another. It will be great! Tim

Catch the boat to Melbourne and we'll meet you in Sale!!!  Not that far as the crow flies....   

[nathan]

Tim, both 116s. you can do the splits driving them. i was gonna bring 4 but couldnt figure out how to manage 4 cruise controls with only 2 arms and 2 legs.
i have now smsed the 5 other 6.9 owners i had mobiles for.  interestigngly, there are 4 6.9 owners in WA called David!
