Ian I am not absolutely sure, but, I think that this is NOT the same day as Hockenheim 2009. It looks like a 190 "Treffen" (meeting). Not the 16V. Jeremy

It looks like a 190 "Treffen" (meeting). Not the 16V. Correct, Ian did say the German 190 GTG, which as far as I know is much bigger than the 16v meet? Especially if they plan on 2 days of it! I'd love to do both, but money is not so plentiful so if I had to choose it would have to be tracktime meet at Hockenheimring. Although arriving to Retro on the back of the W201 meet of all meets in Germany would just be awesome.

Jeremy This is the German 190 GTG, not the 16v meet, it`s organised by Thorsten and just down the road from his workshop. just thought it might be a laugh, it`s held from the 10th to the 12th, so if I went I would have to travel back sat night to be able to make retro.

All the pictures of the Retro car shows in previous years that i have seen on this site make it look like a really great day out. Hopefully i will be able to make it next year, in 2009, if not i will undoubtadly come in 2010 as then i actually can drive and hopefully will be able to drive the 190 on the roads!
