Thank you! Wonderful photos of wonderful cars. 😎

Thank you, Steve.

Took our 1988 560SL out for our year round Sunday drive with friends. We have been doing this drive every Sunday since Covid Started. Was and is a good way to get out and see friends. we have kept it going ever since.

Took the 560SL out again last Sunday for our regular Sunday drive with friends. If everything goes according to plans we are registered and have hotel reservations to have it at the Eastern Springs National in Saratoga, NY, and then the Fall National in Hampton, Va. The Saratoga Springs National will be it's first ever time at a AACA event.

I got the RM discount for Friday night, Frank. I always try to make it to the Awards dinner. Will drive home Saturday morning.

Got Friday night at the RM rate. Looking forward to the Awards dinner as a nice finish to the week.

Hi @chas1963. Sent the registration in a couple of weeks ago, Hope you recieved it. Hotel booked also. Looking forward to it. If I decide to bring a Buick instead of the Mercedes I hope that would be ok? Mercedes 560SL is entered for the Spring Saratoga Meet the next week. Have to decide which I want to tow back and forth, then drive it on the tour. Did not realize it's that close, Saratoga will be the 560's first Meet.

I grew up in Flatbush Brooklyn. Never heard of that dealership. Very cool to see the emblem. Thank you.

It is now mandatory to have tire chocks at the Hilton Head Concours. Learned about that last year before the Concours.

Keeping an eye on this post. Should be heading to New Mexico next month. I know we will be hitting up the Georgia O'Keefe Museum as my wife is a big fan. We also will be doing basically all the Cities you will be going to. Too bad the Unsers sold their Museum and it has moved out of New Mexico.

My wife wants me to take her to New Mexico in April to travel around and see the sights. Any suggestions? She is a big Georgia O'Keefe fan so i know we will go see her stuff. Too bad the Unser Museum closed down and moved.

I have taken a "mostly all original car" or shall we say unrestored car all the way through the Awards process to a Senior Grand National Award and plan to try again with a new to me car this year. I have never received a complaint from a Judge that it is not restored. If it is good enough for the Award it is going for it will receive it. If the car is good enough that is all that matters. I look forward to trying it again. I now have a fully restored car and a mostly original unrestored car with Senior Grand National Awards. The mostly original car has always exceeded my expectations and it has sometimes been more satisfying than getting the restored car to the same Award level. If the new one does not make it to that same level I am good with that. You can always change class, then go for HPOF if not happy with the level it ends up at. Section 1D of past and the current Judges Guidelines say : Original vehicles not entered in the Historical Preservation of Original Features (HPOF) class or the Driver Participation Class (DPC) will be point judged in the same manner as restored vehicles.

Sometimes work gets in the way. I just cancelled my reservation at the Embassy Suites if anyone needs a room.

Thanks for all the help Pete and Scott. Registered and reservations made. If you guy can just confirm when you receive the documents we are all good. Of course with all the back and forth I forgot the self addressed envelope. LOL
