Who's goin'?

There's one in Westwood and another one later in the month in Hunington Beach. Just wanted to see what w203 peeps are gonna attend.

Buellwinkle

Didn't see anything in Events and Gathering section on these. There's a meet in San Diego on the 22nd just north of the 805/5 split (Del Mar?). Where/When is the HB one? Any good?

Heres a link to the westwood one: https://mbworld.org/forums/events-gatherings/154867-west-ucla-meet-aug-6th-sunday.html

Looks like a ton of people goin' to the Hunnington Beach meet, but only 4 of us so far for the UCLA meet.

Buellwinkle

OK, put my name down for HB (sorry, UCLA is a nice place, just not a nice drive for me).

man, I would LOVE to go to both the UCLA and Del Mar meets but only if they were after August.

Drex, that would be awesome rolling up with our USC Alumni and LMU Alumni license plate frames respectfully in Westwood

I'm not too sure about the OC one, but hopefully...

drexappeal

Aren't you done in a couple weeks?

As for rolling up to UCLA with the license plate frames, I wouldn't let you do that, bro. I'd be worried for just being associated with a Trojan at that point...LOL. My LMU frame wouldn't cause as much negative reaction as your USC. Plus, I have a family of UCLA lineage to back me up.

How much further south is Laguna Niguel from Newport, Buell.? I understand though, cuz for a small meet it is kinda far.

nlpamg

I'm done at the end of the month

My girl went to UCLA and I would always park on her street (exactly where I spotted you last!) or in her structure or all around Westwood with the plate on... Only caused problems once and I almost beat the **** out of the guy that tried something. (I was seriously considering taking it off at one point but nah...)

drexappeal

That's right. Totally forgot 'bout that. Some people take the rivalry a little 'bit too far.

End of this month or August?

Buellwinkle

Newport is about 15-16 miles north. Believe me, I know where UCLA is, my daughter lived there for a while, why I don't know because she's a senior at CSLB.

drexappeal

I see. Just curious because I used to visit Newport all the time when my ex-girlfriend was attending UCI. Never got a chance to head out to Laguna Niguel though, but several friends were living in that area.

i'll probably go to OC one... just haven't figured out how many extra peeps i'll bring...

Buellwinkle

I used to live in Newporche Beach but I didn't like the MB dealer there so I moved to Laguna Niguel to be closer to MBLN (Mission Imports at the time and Jim Slemons was the NB dealer).

SeaCoupe

I'm going to the HBC meet up. Likely going to bring some vino.

Too bad you don't still have your coupe Buell. I would have liked to see it.

You guys can count me in for both meets=D

FrankW

i'm in for both. i know tommie personally, going to ucla one for our car crew...lol

yeah, this kid was a douche. I was trying to park on Midvaile and he and his ugly gf driving in an old beat up Corolla pulled up behind me and kept on honking their horn. I pull over to let them pass, then the dude (who was in the driver's seat) yelled "USC GO HOME!" I just let that go. then, I parked and I had to wait for my GF b/c she was at the grocery store. I was just waiting outside walking along the street and I see these guys come back up. they pull up next to my car and the guy spits on my door handle. I run up and am like "what the **** do you want?! come down b****! come down and say that **** to my face!" the guy just kept yelling "USC go home" and as I was walking closer to them they sped off. I did report this incident to UCLA Police/West LA Police just in case they tried something more severe. I took down their license plate and called the police. I was transferred along to different people and depending on who talked to me they either were willing to do something or said that it was nothing. I argued that if I were in my car, that would be an assault, but since I wasn't, it could be construed as vandalism. stupid punks, probably compensating b/c he was a shrimp with an ugly gf.

and, I do remember that I had another incident. so two incidents that whole time hanging out at UCLA...

we were driving down Veteran at midnight and this Audi A4 starts tailgating me even though I'm going a little over the speed limit. then he starts criss-crossing from behind as to menace me while still being a distance where I can't see his headlights. so, I slammed on the brakes and gave him a scare and he stayed faaar back. I'm sure that incident was b/c of the frame... punks.

and yep, the end of this month.

Little OT: But how was it parking the benz at USC?? I'd feel safer parking my car at UCLA than USC. I didnt get on campus parking this year and it looks like I may be parking on the street. I dont know what Im going to do, I doubt my car will last more than a day before its destroyed.

nlpamg

I had my w202 when I went to SC... door dings galore! no matter how far I'd park. (I parked in PSA when I needed to, but had my car at Troy for most of the time).

now, they have more parking structures/spaces, so hopefully you'll be good. what about the new structure on Fig across the street by the museum? I don't know about parking on the street. I've heard a lot of horror stories about the "locals" breaking in... good luck and fight on!

drexappeal

The first incident, you handled well, bro. Besides, messin' them up when they're driving around in a Carolla? If something happens to their car, no big deal. They jack up your car...Damnit. And if it's only vandilism, remind me to show you pics of Brandon's 1st EVO (before he got the MR). His stuff was ridiculous. BTW, don't bag on his height dawg. Remember, I ain't that tall either...LOL (the product of having a 4'11" mom and 5'2" dad - pinoy height - or lack thereof, gotta love it)

As for the 2nd situation, I think that was more the fact that you had a w203 than the SC plates. Some punk probably wanting to race or some ish.

It's funny, cuz there was an M3 that was zooming in and out of traffic just to catch up to me on Ventura boulevard. It was obviously heavily modded (big front mount) and when he got next to me, kept blowing off like I was a C32 or C55...LOL... See, I hate uninformed tuners. Even though I have nice rims and roof/trunk spoilers, doesn't mean my car is any faster than it is stock...LOL. It's like the bully syndrome where a kid that's big, picks on the smallest kid in the school...LOL. Stuff is funny to me.

the parking structure near 110 freeway is the best...
it's secure, got CCTV and all supercars are parked there...
only downside is u have to take tram or walk few blocks to/from campus...

LorinserCClass

That ish ALWAYS happens to me in the valley lol. And I keep telling them its just 'low and slow' for me :p

drexappeal

Yup! Exactly, Enri. Freakin' ridiculous in the valley. I can only imagine how much worse it is with your full kit.

LorinserCClass

lol when I had the eisenmann race exhaust it seems like I attracted all these rice rocket wannabes
