September will be much better for sure. Several GCDs have been very wet and muddy affairs!

Apparently there was a MB Club meeting this week so the location should have been finalised, but they're not very good at updating the internet... watch this space.

....Hi guys, I'm hoping to go, sounds like fun, huge fan of German cars, I'm sure my BMW fan father would like to come too...

FYI, MBCCWA have updated their Events Calendar:

23 Sept: German Car Day
bullet The 2012 German Car Day is on this day, taking it out of the traditional middle of winter date for the first year. The Mercedes-Benz Car Club has hosted this event for over a decade. It has seen strong turnouts of Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, BMW, Audi and Volkswagen cars, as well as examples of Borgward, NSU, Opel and even Messerschmitt – and German made models such as the Ford Focus XR5. The event has previously been held in York and Northam, but starting this year we’re making it a moving feast, with a different destination each year.

The event begins with meeting at the car park corner of Plain Street and Nelson Crescent in Perth, near the WACA at 9.30am, and from there a drive will set off to our secret destination. The convoy should reach the destination in about an hour and a half. There, cars will be parked by marque and on public display. There are plenty of places to eat nearby, or you’re welcome to bring a picnic lunch. And no, the destination will not be divulged until the day…

The cost is just $10 per car - regardless of how many people are on board - which includes a raffle ticket with some excellent prizes. Part proceeds will go to CanTeen.

You don’t have to be a club member to participate. And you don’t need a show-car, all German cars are welcome. Spread the word – the more the merrier…

When: Sunday, September 23
Where: Car park corner of Plain Street and Nelson Crescent in Perth, near the WACA - drive to secret destination

Interesting concept, I'm scratching my head though as "cars will be on public display" but how will the public know where to go? Hmmmm

[GOLFBALLS]

Heheh, no-one will be bolting off ahead this year!!

Yeah was thinking that one as well? Don't expect many public people to be there.

[Nugs]

Definitely sounds interesting.
I've put it in the calendar and will be there.
