I kinda wished there weren't so many MB forums... it's hard tracking all my posts everywhere.....
Yup, There's already people coming from the 500e forums as well as the club one2four forums http://www.one2four.com (W124 car club ). I'll tell sean to post a note later on the 190E forums Carlos.

1) jack murphy stadium hosted the 914's with an autocross meet. so racing can be had in that parking lot.
2) why not invite the dodge sprinter people since those are 100% mbz with the exception of the 3 dodge stickers.
3) is anyone inviting freuhauf/freightliner since mbz owns them?
4) maybe an irl mbz will stop buy or a clk-gtr by dtm

Having the old Classic MB's would be great. There are some vintage MB's showing up from the local MBCA section, so they wouldn't be entirely surrounded by newer models. It's worth a shot, and I'm sure they may know some other vintage MB owners who might drive down.

1) On the planning board for a future meet. I think there is a COST involved with reserving Jack Murphy/Qualcomm Stadium, and also liability/insurance issues with autocross/racing events. A little beyond my scope of planning expertise, but perhaps somebody on this forum knows how to pull that off !
That would be great !

2) uhhh........ no.

3) Frehauf/Freightliner....... be my guest ! Do they have an MB badge at least ?

4) that would be great too !

how should we arrange the cars at the meet ? Help me decide.....

Since we're having soooo many MB's/AMG's signing up for the JULY 9th meet in Encinitas (San Diego), CA

I was wondering, what the best way would be to arrange the cars for the photo-shoot.

- same color vehicles: red, brill silver, black, white, all other colors ??
- same body / chassis style: C-Coupés, W124, convertibles, C230K Sedans, ////AMG's, etc...
- by model year: vintage/classics, 2005, 1990's, etc....
- one-offs: SMART, CLS500, AMG Wagon, etc....


open to any & all ideas.... this should be really fun, and nice to have such a large variety of models all in one place !

LOL! or...just any chick for that matter.

About the arrangement of cars...I think same body / chassis style would be nice and also generation. like...you'll have the W124's then the W210 and then the W211 and so forth. That would make great for pictures. I wouldn't mind arranging them by color either.

Cool !

I'm going to get there early, around 1pm to arrange cars as they are coming in.... if anyone else wants to come early and help be a field-marshall/steward, that would be great !

Exclamation it's not far..... think of it as a "cruise"

A few were concerned about the distance...
once again, this meet is NOT all the way down in San Diego.

I usually travel the 80-120 miles for all the L.A. & O.C. meets...

here's a distance/time chart for this meet in Encinitas, CA from your location:

- downtown San Diego: 25 miles / 30 min
- La Mesa (east San Diego): 28 miles / 32 min
----------------------------------------------
- O.C. border (San Clemente): 35 miles / 39 min
- Huntington Beach: 68 miles / 1hr 15 min
----------------------------------------------
- Corona: 80 miles / 1hr 30 min
----------------------------------------------
- downtown L.A.: 100 miles / 1hr 50 min
- San Fernando Valley: 118 miles / 2 hrs 5 min
----------------------------------------------
- Santa Barbara: 193 miles / 3 hrs

if you want to know the exact distance from your locale,
let me know, and I'll YAHOO Map it for you.

keep in mind everyone those are estimated times and people in caravans will be there faster due to the fooling around and high speed runs we will do.

Absolutely !!! We can discuss at Brav's BBQ at the end of July.

I've got tons of marketing / publicity / attraction ideas. It's all about the hype !! We need some magazine coverage to get this one to soaring heights !! If you can pull any strings for the July 9th meet that would be awesome too !

Here's some more scoop:

I just managed to get 3 or 4 huge MERCEDES-BENZ Unimog trucks to show up for the JULY 9th meet ! This is going to be awesome !

Park your AMG next to a UNIMOG for a photo-shoot, plus a SMART car,
plus a super-super-charged CLK500, a LORINSER CLS500, a HAMMER AMG,
a E55 AMG Wagon, plus some vintage/classic MB's.


talk to you soon,
Carlos
