OK folks,
we only need 3 more people to sign up to hit the 100 mark....

Click here to see the: Complete Attendee List

In all actuality we will have well over 125 MB's present,
as most of the vintage/classics do not usually sign up, but show up regardless.

If you think this meet wasn't going to be BIG, you might want to consider making sure you sign up & attend !!!

my bad.

I remember when my parents got their C-Wagon, they wanted a 2004, but they also wanted a 3.2L V6, so they just got one off the lot (2003 model).

It's all cool though... C-Wagons rock. I love 'em !

unfortunately, no one wanted to sponsor this event, because no one believed we could get 100+ cars of the same marque out in one place...

we have had some individuals & entities provide some "Promotional Give-Aways" that we will be raffling off throughout the day.

What is GBWR ?

you'll get a big hug from me !! isn't that enough incentive ? j/p :p
seriously... this meet will have quite a few female Benz owners present.
BenzGal, Hybrid_Girl to name a few....

might be part of the reason we're getting such a huge response.... hmmm
and i thought it was all about the cars !!!

anyway, with a bunch of raffle prizes, there will be a good chance a lot of people will go away really happy they came.

here's a rough timeline of the day's activities:

11:00 Meet officially starts.
11:15 Early bird raffle
11:30 Meet & greet / photoshoots
12:00 Lunch at TJ's (optional)

1:00 Second batch of raffles
1:30 Meet & greet / photoshoots
2:00 Special Prizes to #100 and oldest MB present
2:15 Announce specs & highlights of some special MB's present
2:30 Third batch of raffles

3:00 Fun Drive prep (pass out maps / jockey for position)
3:30 Fun Drive begins (fast group & cruise group - Irvine Canyon)
4:15 Fun Drive returns to TJ's
4:30 Last batch of raffles
4:45 Thanks to our promotional give-away donors, TJ's, and volunteers
5:00 Early dinner / drinks at TJ's


so please let me know if you or anyone else for that matter can make it OFF the "Maybe" list and put you on the "Attending" list.

Well, let's say it's pretty close to an SL55, maybe not in the kinda scale you could just jump in and drive off in....
but we'll throw in a nice set of DAVIN or TIS rims ! How's that ???

kind of an afterthought...
but does anyone here on MBWorld or elsewhere have connections with any of the EURO magazines ?

EuroTuner
European Car

maybe too much of a short notice, but having their magazine photographers at the meet would be a plus.... Who wouldn't want to shoot a 100+ MB car event ?

let me know if someone has any info.
Thanks !
