You love your toys, Kids do too!!!! (Vancouver)

Ok so I was thinking... lets do a toy drive for BC childerens hospital.
I know everyone reading this has said, I wana do something good for someone!! But lets face it.. we go on with our lives and dont really get to it do we.

Chrismas is coming and I was hoping you guys who can afford to spare a bit of pocket change. After all you bought yourselves a Mercedes!! (now is not the time to be cheap) I dont care who you are just make the time one day out of your life and meet at Lansdowne mall in Richmond on Dec 21st ( its a sunday ).

The objective
Fill your trunk with as many toys as you can or want. We meet at the mall and do a drive and drop the toys at the hospital for the kids.
(full detail soon to come). All unwraped please.

I dont really care if I **** anyone off, chances are if you get mad cause you think im calling you cheap...its because you are, and wont come anyway.

OK so me and my wife are in.. lets start the list
I'll get at leat 5 cars plus mine so we have 6 to start boys.

So anyone in? If you cant make it you can meet and drop off some toys and we'll take them on your behalf. You dont have to spend alot, just one toy would be enough. Come on guys it wont take much or cost much to make someones day.

So is anyone in? you can just show up but its better if you show your support here to help get others involved.

Oh and if you can get others involved at your work place ect, That would help you to fill your trunk. Im talking to a lot of people and I want to be able to fill my car. Can you guys imagin a bunch of Benz rolling up and opening the trunks filled with toys?? So try to raise as many toys as you can and let me know if you in.

Thank guys and gals.

So whats up guys is anyone going to drop off a toy? I know times are tough for everyone, me included. Dont let another year go by sayin im gona do something one day. One day never comes, now is the time. You will feel so good and really not much effort required, 1 hour and $10!! 1 hour of you time to go by something and drop it off total. Besides you need a good reason to drive you car anyway, haha.

I have been saying for year one day I will do something and I never do. This year I just did it. I feel so good, and you will too.

Thanks guys!!

Richmond/Vancouver ect.. where are you?

If you are planning to drop off a toy for the Hospital, please say so here so I know what king of car or truck I should bring to deliver them to the hospital on the 21st. I already have a strong contribution from work family and friends but I am hoping for much more. And yes you are more then welcome to join me to drop them off. So who's in?

I realize many of you are already committed to other things. But can you do just a bit more? Come on guys, show the kids how much you care.
Only one week away, so please get out a pick up one extra. Dec 21st 10am to 11:30am at Lansdown Mall, South East corner.

Thanks

I'll come. And I'll get some other AMG guys to come as well. Hopefully, it won't be snowing.

Edit: I've posted your thread over to the Vancouver AMG Meet thread over here: https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...r-bc-meet.html

So far I have about 120 toys, I have friends bringing many more. Plus the help from you guys. This should be a nice Christmas for the kids. Its not to late to pick up one extra and come see me at the mall.

Im even willing to pick up depending on where you live.
I''' Pick up from Richmond Vancouver, New West and Burnaby. But I will need notice.

Sorry guys it seems I dont have my barrings right.
The North East corner is by the TOYS R US!! not Zellers.

Look for a Silver GL and a white C350.
