First, I would like to inform everyone whose coming, and those who are still thinking about it, that this is now a MULTI-MARQUE meet. What that simply means, is we will have more than Benzs. The meet, is growing bigger and bigger as time goes by. I have posted this meet at several different sites, and so far am getting excellent responces. This might be a bigger meet than any of us could have thought. This list, is only for this site, in about 2-3 weeks, Im going to add everyones name from other car sites, and such to give us a general idea of how many people are coming. This might double what the Feb meet was, it might, Im remaing doubtful but hopeful at the same time.

Second, I would like to thank everyone whose coming and whose helping getting the word out, via signature or in person, etc. This wont be possible without all of your help. THANK YOU!!!!

ALL RIGHT! 24 people-- and a little over two months to go!!!!! Yes! Just for your information, we are at exactly or a little over 30 overall. Not quite sure. But either way, it should be a relatively good size meet.

ALSO, I have a question-- how do you guys like Macaroni Grill? I have gotten some complaints about it, and wonder is everyone ok with it, or do you guys like something else-- I was thinking if Macaroni Grill is too much for you, we can go to like In-N-Out, or something. I personally prefer Macaroni Grill, but if someone doesn't like that-- suggestions for other diners/eatery are more than welcome, thanks.

FRED: Whats the status with that Lamborghini, is he coming or not? Just a little curious.

SPECIAL NOTICE: I WANT THIS MEET CLEAN!!!! I don't want any drugs or alcohol present; if you show up under the influence you will be asked to leave. Im bringing my son, as some of you may bring some of your family, and I dont want drugs or alcohol around them. ALSO: Please do not come to the meet to start trouble-- if you hate me, or any other member for that matter, stay at home; if there is a fight, or ANYTHING, threats exchanged, ANYTHING, THE MEET WILL BE CANCELED!!!! This is going to be a friendly GTG, not a brawl. Everyone understood? Fred is my personal bodygaurd. :p No seriously, KEEP THIS CLEAN. Thank you for your cooperation-- if you feel you will not be able to control yourself, remove yourself from the list.

Im only saying that, because I got a few hate messages from some people and I was just about to cancel it, but decided it wouldn't be fair, so I resorted to this message. Hope it works. Again, thank you for your cooperation.

Best Regards,
John

I dont think anyones going to do anything-- Im just making sure if anyone has anything planned, to think twice. Im mostly concerned about the people from Bimmerforums, but I think they are mature enough not to do something so stupid. Hopefully, Im right.

Thanks-- but if something DOES happen, heaven forbid, get in your car and go! I do not see why people cant just have a friendly get together, without threats and stuff. Its utter bull****. I cant believe some people actually want to start a fight for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. It reminds me of high school, all those years ago, where one guy thought he was the ****-- breathe wrong, and your getting your a$$ beat. So dumb. Im pretty sure nothing will happed, but if it does, Im glad to have some back up. Im most concerned about my son. The threats seem to go to go to him, more than me! And hes not even on the boards. I do not understand this. Canceling the meet-- or at lease my presence there, is becoming very much an attractive option. Some people...

If I can make it, kids with 'tudes will be summarily dismissed. I can't belive it's even necessary to state the obvious. We, as MB owners, owe it to ourselves to uphold a higher standard.

True.

It's basicially high school drama. Something I am thankful I'm not apart of anymore. People just need to grow up these days and do something more productive with their time rather than acting like a badass which they aren't. I don't care who you are, what you do, what you try to do...whatever...you're still lame if you cause others problem.

Hopefully this GTG will be worry free and a good friendly one. I'd hate to get pissed off. lol

Serious.

The only part Im worried about is the meet ITSELF. At Fashion Island. Once were crusining, we should be good. But until than, its anyones guess as to whats going to happen. Again, Im pretty sure nothing will happen, but its a threat none-the-less. Hoping for the best.

This meets only big enough for one black guy

I was the first guy you talked too at the last meet who then sent you over to jon.


I doubt any one would show up drunk in the summer time in the middle of the day. 100 degree weather + alchohol = bad times.

Also Usman will be my personal bodyguard, and his brother juan will be his.

Ill talk to the lambo guy tommarow. I ran into another guy i know with supercars wife today. Should i invite him, he got rid of his F40 though and is getting a Carrera GT, but thats in July. He "only" has his Lambo and 360 now. Or he might have a F430 by now im not sure. I know he wanted a Ford GT or a F430.

Whoa!!!!!!

Hey there!

You all guessed it-- another update!!!! Now, adding everyone, so far, from all the different sites, we have at LEAST 40 people-- if everyone who signed up can for sure make it. FORTY!!!! Whoa, if the list grows like this daily, were going to have to cancel Macaroni Grill and find another place to dine, so far were still good for Macaroni Grill, but if it gets any bigger, Im afraid were going to have to switch to a different dine-- START PITCHING IDEAS! I cant think of any other dines, I dont want something too far, so think within our area.

Thanks!

Best Regards,
John
