im in santa monica. doing it by the beach is bad because parking is expensive. So i would suggest parking at Vons/Rite Aid on 14th and wilshire. Or some other big parking lot, and then making the cruise down to PCH later.

I believe that parking lot is sizeable, but it can get busy with lots of crazy seniors driving all over the place.

I will look for a better spot in the meantime and post when i find it. When is this going to be anyways?

I don't think Santa Monica is a good idea.
First, SM police are everywhere...they don't like people gathering around in parking lot.
2nd, like other member said, too many sr. citizen...they will call the cop when see 20+ car line up and sitting there for hours.
3rd, Too much traffic. Weekend on PCH is very crazy between SM all the way to Topanga Canyon road...almost bumper to bumper.
Well, Beverly Hills is even worst.
Can't think of any place that have huge parking lot without any security in the lot @ westside....

There is a Big Mall at...

405 FWY,,,from south exit Bristol east and the Mall is on your left hand side, I think that palce is a part of Fountaun Valley. We held our ML mini meet there last year and the parking lot is pretty big and the securuty is very friendly, when he saw us line up he just asked us if its a MB meet we said yeah,,,, Just be there by 9AM.

if it's at north ridge, you'll probably see the same 25 people/cars again. As most of us in SoCal passed the meet because of distance away from OC and SD.

The best place is actually that Ikea parking lot at Tustin/OC we had last time. Hugeeeeeeeee EMPTY parking lot and a lot of restaurants near by. However, last time there were few ppl doing "mini driftings" in the parking lot and ppl were peeling out on the way out to the canyon run, so hope nobody filed any report or complain otherwise the cops/security might prohibit any more future gathering there.

Northridge starbux is another good choice... Since we never had a problem from security.

let everyone give some suggestions on where we want to meet this time. i saw the mercedes meet on at sandy eggo, but its abit too far for me personally to drive 400 miles for a GTG...

everyone is welcomed, i just hope more MB will show up this time!

That was the BMW driver's fault (and some Benz fools too). Peeling out like it's a high school parking lot, to impress the freshmen. lol

great! i just signed up for it!!

i guess since that most people don't want to drive so far to Northridge. i'll holdoff the GTG for another month or 2 until i can find a good spot for everyone to meet up.
