Once again I am flying over to Munich for Oktoberfest. This will be my third Oktoberfest. I will be in Munich for the opening weekend of Oktoberfest, then my girlfriend and I will be driving through Switzerland and Italy for two weeks.
If any of you are going to Oktoberfest, I would LOVE to meet-up and have a beer together!

Unfortunately I missed the Graz trip last year. It would have been great to meet with you guys and run on the test track!

I have been debating if I should assemble a G-Wagon shopping list while I am there. Whether I should look into some additional brake pad, or ship back more of the heavier stuff too.
Should I make a trip to the G-Wagon Service center located in Munich? or should I look for parts and accessories elsewhere?

What do you guys think?

Chuck, you will have a great time there - anywhere you go! Did you get atleast your own pair of "Lederhosen" - after 4 visits you will become a "local" and need to wear a "Tracht" The G-wagen center in Munich has a very nice display - a G-wagen chassis with all the trimmings! Now you can see all those fine parts up close, you submerge when "diving" into the rivers I had no luck getting anything out of them besides a print out for my 91 300GE. They seemed to be geared for the new stuff only - but good luck to you. Try to find the auto parts store "Stahlgruber" in Munich for good replacement parts and the expedition outfitter "Daerr" who might have a longer snorkel for the G320 If you need, I can come up with the addresses or tel#. Are you taking your Garmin GPS? Don't know if I can create a map from my latest City Navigator Europe V8 and email it to you. Hope you meet all the German G-guys but if not - anybody " auf der Wies'n" would love to have a beer with your! Karl

I will be in Munich from September 15th - 18th. From there, I will be renting a car and heading for Switzerland and Italy.

I will probably be taking my laptop with GPS for street maps. I have had the worst luck with other people reading a map and giving me directions while I am driving. So this time, I will give the "navigator" a big arrow to show where we are and where we are going.

I forgot all about the snorkel idea while I am there. I was going to attempt to find Pagid Pads for my G-Wagon.

I almost bought a pair of "Lederhosen" while I was there last year. This year I might actually do it!

Thanks for the heads up. That should almost allow me to break even with the Exchange Rates.
