Anyone in SoCal up for an MB run??

I'm trying to throw together an MB run through some of the best canyons in southern california. For anyone who lives in or around Los Angeles, or is willing to come down here, well be taking some of the nicest routes down to the coast! This run would be mostly Mercedes, but other EUROs would be welcome too. I'm co founder of an automotive club called Eurosport, and we usually throw together a run once every month. The only problem is...we need more benzs! So for anyone interested, let me know. I can post pics/vids of previous runs as soon as I get the chance today. Guranteed that it will be a great time if we can get this to follow through.

Sounds like fun. When are you thinking about doing it? Would love to see some pics. Just had a newborn but things are settling down and I've got more free time.

Though I swear to god if I get another ticket in LA again lol

Where:El Camino Shopping Center (23340 Avenue San Luis, Woodland Hills, CA 91364)

When: December 4th, Sunday.

-The course will be Mulholland, to snake, down Kanan to PCH, and back up Encinal Cyn. Depending on what everyone wants to do, we can stop for some lunch on PCH.

I'm organizing this also with members of Luxury4Play, as well as some friends for Audizine. That answers the qustion for those wondering if its strictly an MB run. Im aiming for the majority to be all Mercedes but others are definitely welcome. I would love to see some other w203s there, but any Benz will do!


Hope to see you all there!

-Mike (818) 809-9955

I know EXACTLY where that tunnel is hahah. Me and my buddies go up to the mountain every Thursday and have some fun. We usually stop at that one spot where there is a very long straight w/ a huge dusty area to park and lounge around on the side.
