DMV /// AMG Summer Meetup

AMG Sleeper · 07-15-2011, 01:08 AM

Hey guys,
Hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather, keeping their cars clean & keeping the bimmers & other haters in the rear view!!

I wanted to invite "DMV" area (DC/MD/VA) members to get together soon, take pictures of our car, grab a bite, cool off & chill... and I'd like to suggest a potential meeting place of the Blvd @ the Capital Centre (Arena Drive, Exit 16 off 495, down the street from Redskins Stadium), where I happen to know the owner of a little ice cream parlor.

I'm happy to host (in the parking lot!) and provide discounts for all! Nice big parking lot, 24 hour security patrol, and great opportunity to take some pictures while enjoying some delicious ice cream.

Tentatively, I was thinking about sometime the July 30/31 weekend, but I'm flexible. Just wanted to put a feeler out there and see who was interested in stopping by!

Might be a possibility for me, but probably won't know until last minute...nice new wheels btw!

CerBErusM113 · 07-17-2011, 05:46 PM

I work off of 495 in VA so this would be perfect, Very interested in having a meet since I didnt get a chance to make it to the last one. Put me down if your starting a list.

MBfinatic · 07-17-2011, 10:37 PM

Maybe. If people are for sure going to show up I may be down...

mrobinso · 07-18-2011, 04:45 PM

I'd be interested in coming. Being lazy, I would propose we hold the meet on the Virginia side of the beltway!

The ice cream is appealing, but the 50 minute one-way drive to Largo, MD not so much. Any cool place in the middle we could meet - still open to the idea but its a hike.

Yuille36 · 07-18-2011, 09:02 PM

AMG Sleeper,

That is a great idea, I would very much like to attend. I hope that others in the DC area would like to attend also. PM me with all the details, I will send out an email to all my list a AMG contacts that I have in our AMG club, to gauge their participation in this.

What time would this start? As I have family in the area that I've been meaning to go visit.... Maybe I can go down and kill two birds with one stone.... I would be coming from central NJ.... Am I still invited?

Absolutely, all are welcome (but we figured most wouldn't come down from too far away...). What weekend you looking at? We haven't set a time yet, but I imagine it would be early to mid afternoon?

LOVEMYBS · 07-19-2011, 11:53 AM

I'm interested, please keep me posted, can't do Aug 6 or 7.

Coupecrazy · 07-19-2011, 12:02 PM

I'm interested. This looks to be the closest opportunity for a meet to me. I live in the Pax area of somd and will see if I run into any of the other AMG owners down here and let them know.

SLCL · 07-19-2011, 12:24 PM

Darn! You picked the 4 days that I am not available (big events in the family). Hope you guys have fun.

If you do it in the second/third/fourth weekend of August, let me know.

jwoodcl55 · 07-19-2011, 12:41 PM

I'm in! Please PM me details

jwoodcl55 · 07-19-2011, 12:45 PM

I'm in! Let me know the final decision on the date and I'm there

The weekend this happens... will be the weekend I come down. So if it's a saturday i'll head to MD/VA friday evening. Meet with all of you and go back to my families place for the evening and such, and head back to NJ sunday.

Lycan · 07-19-2011, 03:20 PM

I'm in as well....one suggestion...we might want to find someplace that is easy to get into and out of. I know that Yuillie and I have talked about this.

One suggestion that I had was Dogfish in Rockville. It's right off of I-270 and has a bunch of empty parking lots around it. The Porsche Club meets up there all the time. Outdoor patio, large parking lots, easy access to 270 and within 45 minutes for everyone. I used to live in Alexandria and made the drive a million times.

A suggestion.

hami · 07-19-2011, 04:56 PM

Im interested

Im going to be in the area the 30th and the 31st

just let me know what time the meets going to be so I can work something out

importfan21 · 07-19-2011, 07:00 PM

I'm interested. Just give me date/time/location.

Yuille36 · 07-19-2011, 07:40 PM

I'm down for what ever day and time, everyone wants to link up

Yuille36 · 07-19-2011, 08:01 PM

Fellas, I'm down for whatever, but need need to have a consensus. As Lycan and I have gone through this once before, with trying to organize something at the National Harbor. If it's Largo, or Rockville, I'll be there. But the decision has to be made as to the location.

Case1906 · 07-19-2011, 10:34 PM

Good for 30th or 31st--great idea.

dre5373 · 07-20-2011, 12:25 AM

The weekend of the 30th/31st works best for me as well

Craigo · 07-20-2011, 01:30 AM

I'm going to keep an eye on this thread for the next few days, and decide by next wednesday if i will come attend this. As i've never been to per say a mercedes/amg get together.

Lycan · 07-20-2011, 01:51 AM

Put me down as a maybe as well...looks like fun.

khelawanb · 07-20-2011, 04:09 AM

Thanks for doing this

I will be able to make it on 7/31, which is a Sunday. Hope you plan it on this day, since I will be able to attend for sure. What time will the meet start ?
