Chris, You are duly (doo-ly)...dutifully...(what the hell am I trying to say?) marked! Summer 2007 is probably a good idea. Summer 2006 is going to be here b4 we know it and I think a fair amount of planning is needed to make sure we collectively all have the right things, that we don't bring twelve 1/4" drives and no 6.5mm socket, etc. With enough people - a small diesel generator could be brought along for emergency use, possibly. Chris

If we would be looking at summer 2007 that would seem to leave enough time to do some good planning and arrange personal schedules.....got me thinking, maybe I could use it as an excuse to pick up the 5 speed diesel LandCruiser I've been wanting....hmmmm, or maybe if its a good year a diesel G-Wagon! I would strongly recommend Vancouver, BC as a rendez-vous point. One of my favorite cities and a great place for the Canucks to welcome the Yanks! Hope none of you all (sorry "y'all") in the southern tier take offence at the term! ;) got me thinkin', Chris,please mark me as "interested", Chris '81 300SD 80K '88/'76 GMC240D mileage unknown '88 Land Cruiser FJ60 _______________________________________ For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net Christopher McCann, Squier Park, Kansas City, Missouri -2005 Blue Point Siamese, "Rose" -1987 300TD, 150K, "Rotkäppchen" -1985 300SD, 210K, "Wulf" -1976 240D, ?K, "AKP-Wagen" (Alternativen Kraftstoffs Prüfenlastwagen) -1972 Jacobsen 21" Turbo Vent -1971 Case 222 Hydrive, 12HP Kohler, 38" deck, Snowcaster, "One Banger" --------------------------------- Yahoo!
