Just a suggestion -

Since the meet is in San Diego...

Can we cruise across the Coronado Bridge? It's a really sweet drive over the water...

...

Looks like it's going to be a great turn-out!

And also no meeting in Ralph's parking lots and no meet leaders ditching! lol... :p

Where can I find the route for that?

Sounds like a good idea, but how long is the drive? It isn't four hours to drive 60 miles, is it? LOL

Let me know so I can start making maps and stufff And don't worry... I'm sure the leaders won't be ditching no one...hehe

Ok so right now I'm finding a printer to get these stickers going... I need some ideas for some logos... I can't draw for poop... we need your help!

Calling all graphic designers and artists to, perhaps, submit some really quick logos or something, if they dont mind of coruse

email me or post it up here cuz I wanna get it started ASAP..

and once we start getting a few of them, i'll make a thread and the people can vote on 'em

thanks

Saprissa

OK. I'm gone for the weekend, and the meet is now turning into a gumball rally ????!!! WTF !?!

anyway, I drive across the Coronado Bridge every day (twice), and unfortunately, unless you're driving a SUV, you won't see much over the water. Coronado Island is very traffic congested, and plus it's another 45 miles south of the ENCINITAS meet. If you guys want to cruise down to Coronado before the meet, that is fine, and then be back up in Encinitas by 2PM.
While this meet is dubbed "San Diego", it is actually up in ENCINITAS.
This was done so that O.C. / L.A. people didn't have to drive all the way down to SAN DIEGO. As for crusing, I would recommend setting up cruises from O.C. or L.A. to the meet itself, or an early run to Coronado and back for those who want to drive the extra distance.

Karan, Yes, it's going to be a great turn-out !
and no there is no Ralph's parking lot. I am the "Meet Leader", and most of you who know me from all the previous L.A. meets, know that I'm a MB / AMG enthusiast and will stay until the last Benzo leaves.

Saprissa

I'll put you down on the list !

C230K sport (Coupe or Sedan ????)
what color ???

eLemnt | 0ne

Not a gumball rally... just stickers for people who are traveling FROM the OC/LA area to the MEET.

I think it would be kind've fun to have some sort of 'uniform' look to our cars as we drive down I-5.

Also, the stickers would be cool to have if we were to have a cruise or something afterwards; just a thought, Carlos.

Saprissa

Again, I would recommend you cruise before the meet.
Either O.C. or L.A. down to ENCINITAS
or
run to Coronado Island and back to ENCINITAS.

Why 2PM ?
I have already got the Mercedes-Benz Club of America (San Diego Section) showing up at 2PM.
Hoehn Mercedes rep will be there at 2PM.
evosport (if I get confirmation) will be there at 2PM.
Have already posted 2PM time on all the other MB forums, and too much hassle to change the time.

These are the type of suggestions I was asking for 2-3 weeks ago.
If we want to organize these things correctly, and not having people going 248 different directions and meeting in Ralph's parking lots, prior planning is best.

Those who want to cruise / gumball can go for it. I might join in too, but please either do it before or after the meet. We will be in ENCINITAS at 2PM. Do a photo-shoot and get dinner afterwards at a local restaurant.

Usman, stickers are way cool ! ( I am a sticker *****, by the way, you'll see 'em all over my car ! )
Absolutely..... don't get me wrong, I'm not against cruising or gumballs or stickers.... quite the opposite !
I think it's a GREAT idea. Do you still need help with the design ?

eLemnt | 0ne

Yes! I'm trying to get some designs together for the stickers Got any ideas?

Saprissa

i'm thinking the silhouette of an AMG (any AMG) front nose
with the TEXT surrounding it around in a circle. With the MB logo at 9o'clock and the AMG logo at 3o'clock. The TEXT can read: whatever you guys want. I would say something generic so you can use it more than once, everytime we have a SoCal meet. Something like: " Mercedes-Benz / AMG Southern California Meet & Run "

let me see if I can make up a quick PowerPoint slide, and post it here.... give me a few minutes.

Saprissa

Usman,
this is a quick logo I put together....

I take it that black&white works best.

This is just DRAFT, but hopefully gives you an idea for a good design.
Feel free to edit / play with it as you like.

My idea is that if this is printed on some sort of "re-usable" type clingy sticker thing, that would be great. Then we can slap it on the side of the door everytime we have a MB/AMG meet.

what do you think ??

Buy magnets and stick the sticker on it so we can reuse it everytime!
