Jesues christ....
For ****s sake, I only left for a bit, people please behave yourselves. Try to understand, it takes time for me to do updates, and if you people would have payed attention at my last update it says:
"FINAL UPDATE"
But ok, lets get a re-cap here, in my last update, I specifically say the meeting is at 11AM!!!!!!! ELEVEN!!!!! ELEVEN!!!!! For gods sake, eleven. Everyone understood?
Ok... I need to relax, since you people are asking for it, I shall do another update, but please-- patience is a ****ing virtue. Do understand, you are not the only forum I have to go to. Thank you for you're cooperation. Now, check back in a bit, and I will try to get to all questions.

I pray to god those parking lots are going to be Resident Evil meets Dawn of the Dead empty...
And...
General Meet Info:
What: Benz and AMG Meet
When: June 11th, Saturday
Where: Newport Beach at Fashion Island & Macaroni Grill
Time: 11AM until late-evening
Why: In loving memory of Benjamin Miles Keaton-- memorial run.
Fashion Island
Pacific Coast Highway & Newport Center Drive
(949) 721-2000
http://www.shopfashionisland.com/
Macaroni Grill
(714) 901-4481
7901 Edinger Ave
Huntington Beach, CA 92647 (for now)
And...
Ok, since I guess I was not clear enough in my last update, we are meeting at Fashion Island, Newport Beach, and lets get this straight, ELEVEN AM. 11 o' clock. I dont know how else to put it. 11... Everyone ok? From Fashion Island we travel up the PCH until we hit Malibu where we turn around and head back to Huntington Beach, CA for dinner.
And...
Dining:
Macaroni Grill-- reserve a seat, heres the number, do it now or wait an hour or two to get in:
(714) 901-4481
And...
Also,
Macaroni Grill has a fairly small parking lot-- can probably hold 50 cars max. If no ones there, obviously Saturday night is going to get busy, some of you who get there slow might have to find else were to park, and heres a suggestion:
You're going to have a nice 5 minute walk, but its the closest that comes to mind. The Pavillions Parking lot right off Beach Blvd. You cant miss it, it should be able to hold any extras we have. Good luck.
And...
Members who are signed up...
Please do not forget! Im stressing this more than anything, and Im willing to bet quite a few wont show. Please dont be one of them.
And...
This is a memorial run for Benjamin Miles Keaton. Before we leave for PCH, I dont care if its 12:01, we are staying and SOMEONE is saying a thing or two about Benjamin. A Eulogy, pherhaps. Im not too good at this stuff, but someone has to say something. From what I gathered, he was a good man, and hes left behind a wife of 30 days. We will all gather round for this moment, and it WILL be silent-- I expect everyone to respect this, and not rudely interuppt, if you will, you will be asked to leave. Please be polite and respectful.
And...
Heres our journey, step by step, once more:
First off, if, during the cruise, you get lost from the pack or something happens, heres where the cruise to Malibu is taking us:
Gladstone's Malibu
17300 Pacific Coast Highway
Pasific Palisades, CA 90272
Remember it, write it down, get it stuck in you're head. We will wait at Gladstones until EACH and EVERY last member who showed up at Newport arrives. Now... on to specifics...
1. We meet up at Fashion Island, Newport Beach at 11. Please be prompt. Its 11, not 12, not 1, not 2, not 6. Can everyone understand this? Communication is everything, take note. We will take pictures, meet fellow members/enthusiasts and at exactly 12, not a moment later, the pack will start moving. That gives you slow pokes an hour to get there.
2. We get out of Fashion Island, and enter the PCH from: Newport Center Drive. We start cruising up PCH. Despite what I said earlier, and despite my deepest regrets, there will be nowhere on the PCH we can stop as check-points on the way to Malibu. I've searched (maybe I missed some), and came up with nothing that can hold the amount of vehicles we will be rolling with.
3. After passing Long Beach, CA we will go down around Rolling Hills, follwed by Rancho Palos Verdes, in turn taking us past Torrance and Redondo Beach.
4.After some more cruising, through Ignlewood and Culver city, we finally hit the REAL PCH, with nothing but beautiful skys and sparkingly blue water all the way down to our destination.
Ok, now pay attention, major change here:
5.After leaving Ignlewood and Culver behind, we will follow the PCH and we come to a "fork in the road", as it were-- where we could continue to follow the PCH, but INSTEAD we exit the PCH (1), at Malibu Rd. Its right past Malibu Lagoon State Beach.
6. Once we arrive at MALIBU's RALPHs SAVON DIEDRICH's parking lot (23841 West Malibu Road Malibu, CA 90265), I imagine we are going to assault the nearest gas station, BEFORE heading back. Anyhow, we will wait there for the slower people to catch-up, once more chatting and taking pictures, checking through some videos some of us might of filmed on the way up here, etc. All this should last until 3-4. If traffic is good on the PCH, if not, no biggie, we lose an hour or two, all good.
7. After 3:30-4, we will leave Malibu's RALPH's PARKING LOT, we start going East on Malibu Rd. toward MALIBU COLONY RD.
8. We catch the left turn onto WEBB WAY.
9. Make a right onto PCH/CA-1 going south.
10. After a bit of cruising on the PCH, once more, we take the I-10 East, from there we merge onto I-405 South via EXIT 3B going towards Long Beach here.
11. We take the Beach Blvd. Exit toward Huntington Beach and than the ramp, and were there.
And...
Some time estimates for you time freaks:
Total Est. Time: 1 Hour w/no Traffic! Count on two, or a bit more. You're vehicle will add up about 54 miles on the odometer, and that goes for both ways.
^^ Lets not hold the Legendary Lexani accountable for any of these times, ok? Im estimating here. Thank you.
And...
Krk230,
Im sorry, but there is no way we could leave at 1. I have specified 12 too many people, and changing it to accomadate one person, is a bit unfair. From my view point anyways, however, I would love for you to come, so, Im going to see if we can hold it down a bit longer-- can you somehow leave work early and be there by say... 12:20-12:30? Hope we can work something out. Good Luck.
And...
NOTICE:
MAKE SURE YOU'RE VEHICLE HAD GAS AND EVERYTHING IS IN ORDER! IF YOU HAVE TO RE-FUEL HALF-WAY THERE, YOU'RE ON YOU'RE OWN!
And...
If you have some suggestions on the route I chose, or what not, feel free to PM, Im more than willing to change it for the best. But again, Im busy, so be prepared to wait a bit for a responce.
And...
Fred,
Thanks for covering for me while I've been at work. I appreciate it big man. In worst-case-scenario, if I dont show, Im counting on you to get them through this. Its looking a bit iffy, Im going to have to pull major overtime tomorrow and Thursday and Friday, so dont expect me to be on here much, Im going to check ever so often, but try and keep things in order for me. Thanks. Again, you're as much a part of this as me, without you the list would be cut in half, and I appreciate everything you've done. I dont know how I could ever re-pay you.
Thanks!![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
And...
Also, once again-- this is NOT a race to see who can get where faster, we are crusing. A memorial run, remember that-- I'd hate for something bad to happen during one of these, so keep the foot under control. Thanks.
And...
AMGEric,
Are you coming? Hopefully this cleared up any questions you have, and I hope to see you there-- if you still have any questions, please feel free to PM me. Thank you.
And...
Lets not forget, dont come to the meet if you have anger problems or a score to settle with some other member. This isn't a Fight Club. Please leave you're attitudes, "beefs", problems at home. If you cant, dont bother showing up. Thank you for you're cooperation.
And...
Redmongoose,
Thanks for that little humour provided in where you posted on my behalf. Quite funny, thank you very much. Or maybe Im just tired and its really stupid, but I think its funny-- who knows? :p
And...
Lisa,
Thank you so much for that parking lot! You saved the meet, I was getting extremly worried with where we were going to meet up in Malibu, thank you so much! Hope to see you there.![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
And...
Ok, so now that we have our last update, and this IS our last update, and I DO MEANT IT... this time, everyone can stop pretending to be stupid and soak up the information. If, somehow, I did not get to you're question, PLEASE PM me. I implore those who dont know, they ask instead of going in stupid. Thank you.
And...
Not to be self-flattering or anything here but...
There are alot of people who want to meet me personally this Saturday, and I must apologize in advance if I forget anyones name that day, its a bit hard to remember 80+ people off the top of my head. So again, my apology goes out in advance. If I forget, just be like:
"Remember, Im from ______, we were discussing _______."
And I should catch-on, thanks.
And...
Thanks to anyone I might have missed. Everyones help has helped make this meet-- its not only I, but the members of this forum; a thank you goes out to everyone, from me, who has helped put this together! :p
Best Regards,
John

Please be polite and respectful.
And...
Heres our journey, step by step, once more:
First off, if, during the cruise, you get lost from the pack or something happens, heres where the cruise to Malibu is taking us:
Gladstone's Malibu
17300 Pacific Coast Highway
Pasific Palisades, CA 90272
Remember it, write it down, get it stuck in you're head. We will wait at Gladstones until EACH and EVERY last member who showed up at Newport arrives. Now... on to specifics...
1. We meet up at Fashion Island, Newport Beach at 11. Please be prompt. Its 11, not 12, not 1, not 2, not 6. Can everyone understand this? Communication is everything, take note. We will take pictures, meet fellow members/enthusiasts and at exactly 12, not a moment later, the pack will start moving. That gives you slow pokes an hour to get there.
2. We get out of Fashion Island, and enter the PCH from: Newport Center Drive. We start cruising up PCH. Despite what I said earlier, and despite my deepest regrets, there will be nowhere on the PCH we can stop as check-points on the way to Malibu. I've searched (maybe I missed some), and came up with nothing that can hold the amount of vehicles we will be rolling with.
3. After passing Long Beach, CA we will go down around Rolling Hills, follwed by Rancho Palos Verdes, in turn taking us past Torrance and Redondo Beach.
4.After some more cruising, through Ignlewood and Culver city, we finally hit the REAL PCH, with nothing but beautiful skys and sparkingly blue water all the way down to our destination.
Ok, now pay attention, major change here:
5.After leaving Ignlewood and Culver behind, we will follow the PCH and we come to a "fork in the road", as it were-- where we could continue to follow the PCH, but INSTEAD we exit the PCH (1), at Malibu Rd. Its right past Malibu Lagoon State Beach.
6. Once we arrive at MALIBU's RALPHs SAVON DIEDRICH's parking lot (23841 West Malibu Road Malibu, CA 90265), I imagine we are going to assault the nearest gas station, BEFORE heading back. Anyhow, we will wait there for the slower people to catch-up, once more chatting and taking pictures, checking through some videos some of us might of filmed on the way up here, etc. All this should last until 3-4. If traffic is good on the PCH, if not, no biggie, we lose an hour or two, all good.
7. After 3:30-4, we will leave Malibu's RALPH's PARKING LOT, we start going East on Malibu Rd. toward MALIBU COLONY RD.
8. We catch the left turn onto WEBB WAY.
9. Make a right onto PCH/CA-1 going south.
10. After a bit of cruising on the PCH, once more, we take the I-10 East, from there we merge onto I-405 South via EXIT 3B going towards Long Beach here.
11. We take the Beach Blvd. Exit toward Huntington Beach and than the ramp, and were there.
And...
Some time estimates for you time freaks:
Total Est. Time: 1 Hour w/no Traffic! Count on two, or a bit more. You're vehicle will add up about 54 miles on the odometer, and that goes for both ways.
^^ Lets not hold the Legendary Lexani accountable for any of these times, ok? Im estimating here. Thank you.
And...
Krk230,
Im sorry, but there is no way we could leave at 1. I have specified 12 too many people, and changing it to accomadate one person, is a bit unfair. From my view point anyways, however, I would love for you to come, so, Im going to see if we can hold it down a bit longer-- can you somehow leave work early and be there by say... 12:20-12:30? Hope we can work something out. Good Luck.
And...
NOTICE:
MAKE SURE YOU'RE VEHICLE HAD GAS AND EVERYTHING IS IN ORDER! IF YOU HAVE TO RE-FUEL HALF-WAY THERE, YOU'RE ON YOU'RE OWN!
And...
If you have some suggestions on the route I chose, or what not, feel free to PM, Im more than willing to change it for the best. But again, Im busy, so be prepared to wait a bit for a responce.
And...
Fred,
Thanks for covering for me while I've been at work. I appreciate it big man. In worst-case-scenario, if I dont show, Im counting on you to get them through this. Its looking a bit iffy, Im going to have to pull major overtime tomorrow and Thursday and Friday, so dont expect me to be on here much, Im going to check ever so often, but try and keep things in order for me. Thanks. Again, you're as much a part of this as me, without you the list would be cut in half, and I appreciate everything you've done. I dont know how I could ever re-pay you.
Thanks!

And...
Also, once again-- this is NOT a race to see who can get where faster, we are crusing. A memorial run, remember that-- I'd hate for something bad to happen during one of these, so keep the foot under control. Thanks.
And...
AMGEric,
Are you coming? Hopefully this cleared up any questions you have, and I hope to see you there-- if you still have any questions, please feel free to PM me. Thank you.
And...
Lets not forget, dont come to the meet if you have anger problems or a score to settle with some other member. This isn't a Fight Club. Please leave you're attitudes, "beefs", problems at home. If you cant, dont bother showing up. Thank you for you're cooperation.
And...
Redmongoose,
Thanks for that little humour provided in where you posted on my behalf. Quite funny, thank you very much. Or maybe Im just tired and its really stupid, but I think its funny-- who knows? :p
And...
Lisa,
Thank you so much for that parking lot! You saved the meet, I was getting extremly worried with where we were going to meet up in Malibu, thank you so much! Hope to see you there.

And...
Ok, so now that we have our last update, and this IS our last update, and I DO MEANT IT... this time, everyone can stop pretending to be stupid and soak up the information. If, somehow, I did not get to you're question, PLEASE PM me. I implore those who dont know, they ask instead of going in stupid. Thank you.
And...
Not to be self-flattering or anything here but...
There are alot of people who want to meet me personally this Saturday, and I must apologize in advance if I forget anyones name that day, its a bit hard to remember 80+ people off the top of my head. So again, my apology goes out in advance. If I forget, just be like:
"Remember, Im from ______, we were discussing _______."
And I should catch-on, thanks.
And...
Thanks to anyone I might have missed. Everyones help has helped make this meet-- its not only I, but the members of this forum; a thank you goes out to everyone, from me, who has helped put this together! :p
Best Regards,
John

Excellent John. Thanks very much for the detailed update.
Anyone have a idea on what time we should be back in HB so I can make appointments for Macaronni Grill
Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone there and especially you john. You still owe me and others rides in your SL600.

'04 Silverado Z71 - sold all my Benzes and need another!
Dang I wish I could go but I don't have my Benz anymore and the new one hasn't been purchased yet, hehe. Hey, if someone is willing to let me ride with them I might consider it (shotgun only, lol).
Hey Usman, got any room in my old baby?!

Maybe, I heard he was moving or moved back down here but I haven't seen him or I would've recognized my baby immediately.
Anyway, keep in touch Richie and we'll talk soon!

Chris,
I forget how many people want a ride in my 6, but Im sure most will forget considering the other V12s rolling around.
Alexbenz, if I still can, I will.
