Wish I could make the road trip down, but the roads probably won't be very favorable by then from up here. Idaho winters = lots of closed hwy's.



PLEASE post mad pix of the event when it goes on though, I'd sure appreciate it!

get some UNIMOGs to plow the snow away, and then have them all caravan down to SoCali with you !

when the official thread gets posted, it will be crushed with pages and pages of photos.
Search for some of the Saprissa meet threads in the EVENTS & GATHERINGS sections. Keywords: Irvine, TiaJuanas, Encinitas, Rose Bowl
Usually by the end of the multi-page thread is chock-full of pix.

I’ll be there. Contacted a vendor to see if they’re interested; will keep you updated.

Thanks for spearheading this again, Carlos.

thanks John... hopefully we can get quite a few vendors to come out.
They're looking for high numbers of attendees though, so that's why I'm trying to get a huge venue so that we can attract the hundreds of Benzies out here in SoCal !!

The more people help me hype this on the forums, the more vendors will be willing to come out and peddle their wares !

not sure yet what I'm bringing... probably 3 or 4 MB's !
Maybe the '59 !
The Coupe will definitely be there.... with a fresh rear-end EURO look !
Maybe I'll tow the smart in with the ML.
For the smart to show up though, it will need a bit more spice than just:
- black powder-coated wheels w/ matching lug nut covers and smart tire valves
- cargo nets
- tinted windows
- black polished billet-style fuel door

maybe some EIBACH lowering springs ?

MJ50 has some good news... and that is that a special vendor will be donating DYNO Run certificates...
so that means we will have pretty good raffle and top 1/4-mile runner prizes !

hopefully, more vendors will soon start throwing more goodies into the mix.

looks like the IN N OUT mobile burger kitchen will be on hand as well.

again, if you can help with getting vendors / organizations to donate prizes or goodies, please let me know ASAP.

a DJ set up would be awesome.
Talk to Mike (mikeSSw203) cause maybe we can do a battle of the DJs kinda thing if we get more than one.

Got your PM.
All great ideas. A performer would be awesome.
Normally, everyone just kinda gawks at each other's cars for 2-3 hours, but with other activities going on, having a performer along with a DJ would be awesome to keep the crowd in a festive spirit.

I do want to make this a huge event, and set a standard for at least one or two annual MB Mega Meets to at least be on par with what BMW owners do at BimmerFest or in scale to SoCal Euro.

Thanks !

Carlos

Awesome... Thanks guys for the interest...
but wait for the official sign-up list to come out and then we'll hype the heck out of this MB Meet.
To sign up, you'll need your online screen-name (handle), Year / Model / Variation - that way we can keep track of who is all coming, and to set aside plenty of space for every type of MB model that is coming.

Still waiting on the official venue site. Once that is confirmed everything else will fall in to place.

Thanks !
