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 ??

This would work better for me too as my plans are for early evening, back in OC. Of course, I don't want Saprissa to pull a Lexani and change vital things (like the time) so many times people give up and lose faith in the thing. Maybe next time it can be earlier

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
First of all, compared to where this meet is (Encinitas) the Coronado bridge might as well be in Istanbul for all the time and traffic it will take to get there (like almost all the way to Mexico).

Second, easy on the Ralph's p. lot. That was my suggestion as a good turnaround spot where people could catch up before going on to dinner. My suggestion for dinner at a beachfront with patio and sand and beach chairs, free w/validation up front close parking, reasonably priced, huge varied menu restaurant was voted down. If you and everyone else had voted for the restaurant I suggested instead of thinking it was possible to cruise for a billion miles and back before dinner, perhaps you would have ended up stranded by Lexani at a nice beachfront restaurant, like instead of a Ralph's p.lot.

Lisa, Jay, Mark...cruise down to the meet together and back? seems reasonable since we all live near each other.

Mr Wolf! please bring the E55 wagon. I have not yet seen on in person.

Lisa,
I'm going to keep the official time at 2PM,
but I'll probably be there early, around 1PM to kick out any beach-bums and vagrants (j/k )
If anyone else wants to show up early at 1PM, that's cool.
2PM sounded like a good time, because it broke up the middle of the day, and sets up nicely for an early dinner afterwards.

When we do our next S.D. meet next year, we will make it earlier; and maybe if it's REALLY early (7AM-8AM), we can do it at Moonlight Beach, take over the ENTIRE parking lot, have BBQ's on the beach, and call it an all-day MB/AMG Beach Party !!!

Once again, official meet time is 2PM, but if you want to show up early 12-1PM, that's cool too ! Just stick around until everyone shows up, so we can take a group photo !!!

Hi Kim,
sounds like it's time to buy Little Wolf a Benz of his own, so he can come to the meets too ! Hurry up & turn 16 Little Wolf !!

I vote for Mr. Wolf to drive the E55 Wagon. The SLK is an awesome beast, but that E55 Wagon, specially in that color, has got to be a one-of-a-kind !
Would love to take pictures alongside the AMG Wagon !!

Dinner on 7/16 sounds good. Can I bring the wife ? I'm sorry I didn't respond to your IM. I saw it, and then an hour later my IM box was full, so I started deleting a whole bunch of them, and accidentally killed your IM too !

Hi there,
It is called Bordeaux Red even though it is really burgandy. It's a stunning color up close and personal though not quite as stunning as the Orion Blue on the SLK.

Hi Dan !
thanks for signing up !
oh wow.... that's a tough call !
I know everyone would LOVE to see your SMART,
but at the same time, how can you pass up an ////AMG CLK55 !!?!?!!

Looks like you have a nice collection of MB's. Any way to bring more than one, somehow?
Whatever you decide, it will be great, I'm sure ! Look forward to meeting you !

Howdy,
Add Wolf to the list. He will be there for sure. I will likly not. As far as a car goes it's 2 votes for the E55T to zero for the SLK. Also, given the choice between seeing a smart car and a CKL I vote for the Smart car!

Yeah, me too !
not that the CLK55 isn't a GREAT car.... it's just how many SMART's have you seen at an MB meet ?
If anyone else has a CLK55 that they can bring, then it won't be so bad.
It would be nice to get a full representation of the entire MB / AMG line-up.
That's my all-time goal, and every meet gets a little closer. The Rose Bowl meet in February was pretty good ! Trying to make it better each time !

thanks for the update Lady Wolf !

I'm leaning towards the smart since it gets better gas mileage. 50mpg+

Absolutely welcome BenzoBoi ! I was hoping you would sign up, and bring some more MB's / AMG's along with you.
Not sure about Caravans from L.A., but anyone willing to step up and get one going is more than welcome ! Mr. Wolf is coming from Santa Clarita, so there's at least one other person to tag with.
I do know there are some (PerzBenz, ChrisDPham and his W124 possy) coming down from O.C. As well as RedMongoose, Dan ****, and Jay55. So maybe a caravan from L.A. can hook up with an O.C. caravan at a set time & place, and all cruise down to Encinitas together. I think someone was trying to come up with some cruising stickers (cling-ons) to put on the side of the door.

Let's get this hyped, BenzoBoi and make it an all-out MB/AMG fest !
trying to get at least one representative of every MB / AMG model.
Photo-shoot will try to capture diversity and uniqueness of MB's/AMG's.
