Santa Cruz Valley Car Nuts 18th
Annual Collector Car Show
The Santa Cruz Valley Car Nuts Annual Collector Car Show
was held on January 28, 2012 on the golf course at the Tubac Golf
Resort in Tubac, AZ. This year marked the 4th consecutive year that
the Chaparral Section has participated in the show, and the presence
of the Mercedes-Benz marque was definitely felt by the huge crowd of
spectators and the approximately 500 participants.
The absolutely beautiful Arizona winter
weather allowed us to showcase 15 Chaparral Section Mercedes-Benz
vehicles registered for the show, HBZSEL28plus 3 additional registrations
for the Mercedes-Benz Class #20. The layout of the parking area
allowed ONLY Mercedes-Benz vehicles to be parked in the row which
actually helped to showcase the immaculately prepared cars. The only
way to top off the detailed preparations and the great support from
the show organizers would be for one of the Mercedes-Benz vehicles
to be selected “Best of Show”. Read more

Chaparral Section's annual Holiday
Party at the Mountain Oyster
Club
"The Best Holiday Party ever", was one of the
comments shared by attendees at Chaparral Section's annual Holiday
Party at the Mountain Oyster Club
.
The "entertainment" was a
wonderful slide presentation by Joyce Degenhart on her MBCA trip to
the MercedesBenz Museum in Stutgart
, a visit to the AMG plant in
Affalterbach, and the beauty of Germany during October of this
year.
An additional treat was the
presentation of "Club Member of the Year".
The Board painstakingly
sorted through all members' contributions to the continuing
excellence of our events and activities and selected Ron Isler. Ron
and his wife Lucy are very active with the Club and can always be
counted on to support Club events and activities.
Congratulations Ron !

This year the Chaparral Section Annual Sweetheart Member Mixer
will take place on Saturday, February 11th, and feature a
drive followed by lunch at the Oracle Inn Steakhouse located at 305
East American Avenue in the town of Oracle. Here are the
details:
We will start at 11:00 a.m. from the Chase Bank parking lot
located at 11,625 N. Oracle Rd. just inside the entrance to the Oro
Valley Marketplace. From there we will drive to San Manuel on
SR's 77 and 76, swing through the town briefly for those who may not
have been there before, and then return to Oracle via Webb Rd. and a
paved section of the East Mt. Lemmon Highway, arriving at the
restaurant at noon. Maps will be provided at the start.
For those not interested in the drive you can simply plan to meet
us at the restaurant at noon.
On the second weekend of every month the Oracle Inn Steakhouse
features some of the finest German cuisine to be found in the Tucson
area. We will have a room reserved for our use, and every one can
order from the menu with individual checks provided. You can
check out their facility and the menu selections on their website,
www.oracleinn.com
The restaurant would like an approximate head count one week in
advance. Thus if you plan to join us for this event please
let Fred Finney know by Saturday,
February 4th, at the latest, phone at 520-297-2485. Also
include whether you will be coming along for the ride as well as
lunch so we will know who to expect at the Chase parking lot.
Hope to see everybody there!
