Martin, I have never attended but I would love to go. Must think about this and negotiate at home.

Maybe book a refundable airfare and accommodation and start negotiations at the eleventh hour, it is always easier to beg forgiveness than ask for permission in the first place. [;)] [:)][:)][:)]

we are going again as usual and have already booked, i think is my 16th or 17th time, we are staying in dusseldorf as the hotels are a lot cheaper than essen, and the hotel includes free travelling on the train and underground, we will be at the show on friday, and saturday, there is also about 100 english members of the mercedes club who are regulars as well, i will be calling in for a coffee with felix [jack daniel] on the 600 stand upstairs, see you all there

just one 600 is enough at the moment, [now it's got to two]

I'll be there Wed 5th through Sat 8th, so hope to see you there.

We've discussed having a booth there as we once did, in order to attract members and Felix if I recall correctly offered to carry some of our PR in his booth...

Chris L - take the lead and get with Felix to discuss, please? If I don't hear back from you shortly, I'll send an email to you and he this week. Also, let us know how much it would cost to have our own booth or share with Felix, depending on what those of you attending think after seeing the layout and experiencing the event.

I'd like to see a recommendation pro or con, then budget for it if deemed worthwhile.

Sorry I will miss it although my Mrs. had encouraged my attendance. Too many other activities and my German is terrible.

I have visited couple of times in a stand where there have been 450 SEL 6.9 cars, perhaps it was a local club? Anyhow I will be coming for the fourth consecutive times, my first time was 2010.

Can anyone bring me a US-model 6.9 headlight back cover that I could buy [:D]
