P-cars are allowed!:tu: Plenty of hotels very near the restaraunt. Marriott, Residence Inn, Hampton Inn are on or near Pleasant Hill Rd. in Duluth. NE of ATL off I-85.
I've been before but not for a few years now. The guys that painted my GTO are regulars at Road Atlanta w/ SCCA racing. I love that track with those great elevation changes!R)
looks like I'm not going to make it, just can not fit it in for that weekend, looks like its going to be a busy Friday and Monday, and Last time I drove to Atlanta it took me about 8 hours each way
Not sure if we will be there or not, we are heading out to the mountains that morning but may be able to talk the bride into swinging by for lunch...must warn you though we will be in her new BMW335.
So it looks like you guys have to wait till next time for me. We are leaving earlier in the morning for the mountains so I'm gonna have to miss this one. Thanks for the invite even though I don't have the SLK anymore, you guys are a great group and I hope to be invited to future events.
sorry I missed it, but if I did go who would have been here to change the cooling fan in this server, and you know there is a big problem when someone from the data center calls about it. only 2nd phone call from them in 2 years
The deal is done. Advice to the rest of you, don't go have lunch with a bunch of 55 owners. Seriously, I've been looking for a few months and I finally found the right car. I traded my beloved 320 today for an '06 55. Photo below. More to follow as I actually GET the car. The local MB dealer is going to spend a week doing the CPO thing, and I'll take delivery next week. In the meantime, I know where someone can get a pristine 2001 SLK320. And I know what they paid for it...
Okay, now who had photos from the lunch? I was preoccupied.
We have piccies, soon to come. Congrats on the 55 Dave! It was a great time, I don't think your salesman expected all of us to show up to help inspect the car!R)
It sure didn't hurt, that's for sure! We spent maybe 5 minutes haggling over price, and the rest was just signing over my 320. I suppose we could hire out as a group anytime somone wants to buy a 55. When you show up with that many, there's not much they can do to mislead you...
BTW, the salesmen were talking about it for at least an hour after everyone else left!
Piccies as promised, just hit slideshow. Lunch,drive, and cruising the RBM lot, they had a lot of AMGs, was a blast!! Plus, this group is pretty much everyones nightmare!!:biglaugh: See what you've gotten yourself into Ken.:bannana:
Congratulations Dave! I'm soooo jealous. Gonna be a while til I can get me one, but can admire everone elses for the time being.
Hey, you think you lot could fly to NZ to help with some haggling in the future?!?!?!
Dave you set it up and we'll have an international SLKWorld.com meet!
