I'm gonna go around sending off some PMs. Some members just haven't seen this thread.

Thanks for the help.

Can Drive 55

Count me in. I am one of the ones who received a PM from Newton22. I will either link up in Hutchins or meet in Centerville.

There are several DFW guys on the C class forum. You might consider starting a thread there and letting them know about this GTG.

H-townbenzoboy

can drive 55, I took your advice and it's been posted at the 203 forum as well. We've got a guy in Houston who has a E55 very similar to yours, excluding rims. Maybe he'll show up.

Can Drive 55

You might try posting in the E55 AMG, E63 AMG (W210, W211) as well. There are a few DFW guys who visit that forum on a regular basis. I am looking forward to seeing my twin.

We're hiding. *eyes Houstoners suspiciously*

Alright my calendar just cleared up and now I am in for this meet...put me on the list!

Are the meet up plans for DFW still the same?

H-townbenzoboy

Hey, glad to see you on board!

As mentioned before, I stated I'd post all of the caravan departure points for each city. Here they are.

Dallas:The caravan will be leaving from Carl's Jr on I-45 South. The address is 2500 S. I-45 Service Rd. Hutchins, TX 75141. It's exit 272 on the southbound side. They will start assembling at Carl's Jr at noon, and leave for Centerville at 12:30 pm.

Fort Worth:The caravan will meet at the Starbucks inside the Barnes & Noble Bookstore at 1612 South University Drive, Fort Worth, 76107. From I-30, exit University Drive and head south. Enter the University Village shopping center on the right side of University Drive after the Conoco gas station. The caravan will leave for Centerville at 12:30pm. Arrive earlier if you wish to have a late breakfast or early lunch. There are many restaurants in the University Village shopping center.

Houston:We'll be meeting at the Cracker Barrel at 14765 North Freeway. Houston, TX 77090. Take the Airtex exit (exit 63) from either direction to get there. We plan to meet up at 12:00PM, and depart for Centerville at 12:30PM. If you would like to have a late breakfast or early lunch while you're there, you're welcome to arrive earlier than 12:00PM, but just be ready to leave at 12:30PM.

Austin: The Austin caravan will be meeting at the Dell Diamond in Round Rock at 10:30 am. They will leave for Centerville at 11:00 am.

What's a Houstoner?

Does your post mean yea, or nay?

bfnnrgn

That means I hope I can go, but my schedule is such that I never know when I'm available until the day or night before. So put me down for tentative. I'll try to remember to get my car washed, usually it's filthy on the outside. Unless you guys want pictures of the filthiest E55 in DFW

H-townbenzoboy

Just a week to go...

Can Drive 55

I could have a problem. My car has an SRS malfunction and I need to have it fixed. I have an appointment to drop it off Thursday after work for repair on Friday. It is entirely possible that they will not finish it in one day. If that happens, I am screwed.

H-townbenzoboy

You can bring a c-class loaner if the worst happens.

Also, when you come to the park with us, there is a $2 admission charge (it's a state park). If anyone 12 and under is coming, park admission is free for them.

Can Drive 55

Provided they give me a C-Class. They told me on the phone that they no longer guarantee MB loaners. I think I have received better service from Honda dealers, but that would be OT. I will see how it goes and most likely, it will be ready on Friday.

newton22

Don't sweat it. If you can't come, we'll understand. Just try.

Joe, I think it would be a good idea for everyone (caravaning from Dallas, Houston, Austin etc.) to exchange phone numbers. In addition, the day we take off, we should exchange some numbers. In the case someone needs to pull over on the highway due to some issue, I don't want to leave them behind. Just a thought.

We will be giving out awards at the meet, which will be given out as follows:

Categories:

Motivation

Well If my business trip gets cancelled or postponed, I'll be right there with you guys, but it doesn't look very likely. Have a safe get together guys and keep me posted on upcoming events...

Archi

I am 90% sure I can make it. I may miss the caravan but should be able to catch up.

OK, unless something happens, I'm in. My car is in the shop for the previously mentioned service and they gave me a black C230. I will drive it if my car isn't ready.

bfnnrgn

I'm still a ? here. Won't have time for a wash, it will be filthy if I am able to go.

Can Drive 55

It's back. It's clean. It's coming. See you tomorrow.
