Thanks for creating space for the MB club. Hope that we can post comments and crticisms. Let me try.
You are the first person from this club who is actually comming forward to invite us non member Merc owners to take part in the run. Are you sure about us joining the run? The reason for asking is that in the past I have discussed this with office bearers of the club and they were high and mighty in their attitude, not at all forth coming. I was under the impression that they may welcome some classic Mercs in their events. One drive parade I saw had mainly W123's and upwards, not very impressive when you see the number of classic Merc around. While it is true that this club is for Mercs, any Mercs, they could certainly try to get more classic Mercs in their events.
One member with whom I am in regular touch for other matters was chasing me to join up. But the fees were relatively high, activity basically down to one drive per year with maybe breakfast and lunch, more interaction would be expected. Later on this guy told me that he did not get his money's worth.
But now that the Mole has invited us, I will offer him one car and see what happens.
The above was the status 10 months ago, perhaps things have changed.
I do not intend to take on the club and have no personal issues, just commented on past interaction. If this goes well there are many more nice Mercs to bring to liven up their event.
