Default Re: 7th Annual NW SprinterFest

We’re getting close…only a week and a half until the 2012 NW SprinterFest!! We have Sprinters and their owners coming from all over the West Coast and we’re looking forward to a great time. There will be got lots of DIY conversions to check out, T1N and NCV3 4wds, a brand new Sprinter from McCoy Freightliner and more. So if you can, come join us for some fun and Sprinter camaraderie.

Thank you, John

Sorry I am missing it all. Didn't get a chance to clean the van, not only that but got a job today to go out and run the races on columbia ..... so $$$ before fun.

Maybe next year.

This is becoming a trend. Missed it last year due to unemployment also

Really nice group of folks there yet again. Thanks John for hosting.

Most likely our last Sprinterfest, so nice to touch bases with some old faces and meet some new faces.

I really wanted to go, but my new baby is still in pieces from being hit by that garbage truck and finding a place to repair a motor home isn't easy. Hopefully next year it will be all cherry again and I can come and show it off and see what everyone else is doing with theirs...

Is anyone going to post pictures?

It was another wonderfully successful NW Sprinterfest; special thanks to Karen for feeding our rowdy faces!

Over 40 vans attended and I lost count of the number of voices exchanging tips, tricks and ideas. There was a lot of creativity and problem-solving engineering everywhere!

John let people drive his new, Jeep-Willey simple NCV3 4-WD van. The on board computer(s) don't even know about it or sense anything's different.

We do need more commercial participation. The RVers have overrun the festival and a healthy balance should be restored!

Oh, and OrioN, I ate your pie. That's what you get for not showing up.

The location is great, we are selling our Sprinter. Hence I don't expect to be back in future years

Greetings Everyone,

A BIG thank you to all who attended our 7th NW SprinterFest event. We have a final count of 46 Sprinters and somewhere around 100+ people (way to many to count!). McCoy Freightliner had a 2012 144” 2500SHC cargo van for us to look at and paw over. The food was great, especially the peach pie!! The weather was fantastic, 63 degrees and sunny!! The camaraderie was awesome with lots of ideas, sharing and story telling going on. The NCV3 4wd Sprinter was given several test drives and everyone had a great time. By 6:30 or 7:00pm, everyone finally drifted off and the event was over. It was an awesome Day!! Here are a couple of pictures with a few more posted on our web site at http://sprinterstore.com/nw_sprinterfest.htm.

BTW, for those of you on the East Coast, don’t forget the SprinterFest East event which will be held Saturday, April 28th, at Sun Motor Cars Mercedes Benz in Mechanicsburg, PA. A special thanks goes to Stewart Ives and the SprinterFest East crew for helping us with the on line registration form.

Thank you, John
