Topic: WA 116 gathering sunday 9th december

[TJ 450]

Nathan,

I made a clone of myself for that very purpose (to drive two 116s).

I do remember the MH red 116, I'm not sure whose it was but it was nice.

Hi Guys,

I will see how I am placed for the 9th and will probably be there.

Julian if you still want the sump bolts just give me a ring.

Bill

Woohoo, looking good, can't wait for this one and the possible turnouts will be excellent 

Cheers Bill, in Perth this weekend so will drop you a line tomorrow morning to see what time suits, may need to borrow your allen key tool, mines gone underground somewhere, buggered if i can find them

Hi,

Count me in & thanks Nathan for organising something, I've been slack recently and away from the computer.

I'll see if I can twist my Dad's arm to get both 116's along (for part anyway)

SOunds like this will be an awesome event!!!  Almost worth a flight over.....   

[nathan]

excellent news John. TJ is likely to have his two cars present, if you have your two present, ill maybe get another driver so i have two of our 4 registered 116s present (the two silver 6.9s).  i keep updating my post on page 1 of this thread as people inform me. havent heard back from 4-5 of previous forum members though, so not sure.  the merc club VP will kindly email their members so hopefully we can muster a few of them too. 
id love to break the double figures here, it would a pretty reasonable effort though.  the first meeting we had had 6 6.9s from memory which wasnt bad at all.

Hi Nathan as I have said yes I will meet up with you guys but I do not have a running w116 at this point in time . As I am saving money to finish my 6.9. Geoff

Hi John, when the time and venue is sorted can fang down the Tammin back road and maybe start a mini convoy from your hanger to the event? Hope not a hot day, my three year old AC compressor has crapped itself

Sorry, I'm planning on taking my white 6.9 down to Perth this Sunday (2nd) so it will be in Perth for the drive on the 9th.

The recon radiator is going in my 280S this weekend, so I'll be rocking and rolling by the time this event is upon us. I might get a quote for a paint job whilst we're there LOL (for when I win Lotto).

I suppose I'd better get the cover off my 6.9 and make sure it works this weekend in preparation.

It hasn't been out of the shed since the 8th September.

Hi John6007, no probs, will go down a day early and give mum a spin in the Merc 

Bill, i have never experienced any trouble staring my 450 or the old 280 after a long snooze  you will be ok with your beast  but if not let me know and will pick you up 

See you all there
