Brian::
I was told by Achim, that there was only 4 members coming from the states.
You were already in Holland, so I did not count you.
Sorry for my mistake.
Great to have you as a member of Team USA.

I was just giving you a bad time, Tom.  No need to apologize...

I came from the states, I just came the looooong way!  ;D

Look forward to our next meet.

3 cars - no headrests - no side markers on two of them - but US headlights on all three - let me guess - 2 230sls and an early 280sl

Looks like fun.   Love the church in the background.

Kevin.
Keep me posted on your events, I missed the last 2.
I might make one of them.
I am only about 1.5 hours away.

Tom,

There is a group of us that meet almost every Saturday morning for coffee in the town of East Longmeadow. Sometimes two cars, but up to five. Probably next time will be the 7th but will let you know for sure. PM me with your email address if you'd like.

Aces on the cars but that's a private home in the background although there are plenty of old white churches very near by!

Tom, if you count Brian as an American, then you had at least 8 in attendance at Willingen.  You, Jon, Brian, BK, me, Tom, Mary, and Margaret Sargent.

Hi Ray;
Really mad at this system or my laptop.
Every now and then I type a real long message and it totally disappears.

That is correct, there was that many Americans, but as Achim stated there were only 4 official USA members attending.
That is what I called Team USA.
That is what I was striving for.
Now I will try again.

Someone took a picture at my suggestion before the Saturday night festivities of the 4 of us.
It was off to the side of our tables, we were standing.
First picture was the 4 of us, You Me Jon and Tom.
Second picture, Tom switched with Jon and they were in the middle, I was on the right (Facing The camera) and you were on the left side.
Third picture included BK, Mary and Margaret with us, I do not think anyone else was in the picture.

Now the questions is: Who took the pictures and who has them?
Tom
