Excellent well planned meet, maybe next time let's do a BayArea j/k Well it could happen.

MBWorld Fanatic!
1st and foremost a great big thank you goes out to all 200 of you that showed up. Without you there would not of been a meet. I tried to meet everyone of you as you entered the parking lot. My guess had the total car turnout at 150. The C' Class folks really represented. GOOOOOOD JOB! by far you guys and gals deserve a pat on the back. i counted well over 35 c's. Thankfully when we planned this we had a hugemongous lot.
2nd thank you to all those that donated. we appreciated the leap of faith in advance and reports are that some of the benefactors did generate a little biznesssss. so a win win deal.
3a PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all of the pictures will be accumulated in ONE PLACE.
********* the gallery is located here. *******
1st Annual Oktoberfest Pictures
we should have videos up as well. I will post that video links as i get the video submissions in from people and uploaded. BTW great video and pics ramil and chris. I loved that footage of all those benzs making a left onto sandcanyon from irvine blvd.
3b if you took pictures and want us to HOST THEM FOR FREE. contact me here via pm or on the benz group website and i will get you access for uploading files. I will upload the ones that get posted here so they will all be archived in one place. if you need to watermark them so be it. we just want a complete set of all of them for future reference.
3c VIDEO. if you took video footage get me the final EDITED version you want passed around and The Benz Group will host it on our site. I saw a lot of vid cameras out there and would love copies of the footage.
4 will the winner of the PALA CASINO raffle please stand up. I never got your full name and i totally forgot what your screen name is. if someone knows either of these pls pm me or post it asap. PALA needs it for their records so when you call to book your nights stay they know who you are.
5. Thanks to all those who went on the FUN RUN. I had a great time. Nice sounding cars there people. We already knew they looked good.
6. Look for more events coming in the future from THe Benz Group. Our website is www.thebenzgroup.com word on the street has it we may be doing a BIG poker run to a local casino. we will keep you posted as we develop this idea more. there was also talk of "race days" at willow springs and a possible 1/4 mile day. Like i said i dont have all the details yet but keep your channel tuned to our website.

Thanks to everyone who organized everything! It was nice meeting everyone!
Most importantly, thanks for all of the beautiful cars. =) Very nice guys....It's very different coming to a benz meet in comparison to an import show (*cringes*)
At the import shows, you see a lot of really poorly done cars. At the meet, everyone's cars were done very clean and nicely. Good job! Very impressive!

The smallest caravan ended up leaving together and heading back out to Riverside together, so I went to Cabazon instead of south coast.
It was nice seeing Linh and Bernard's cars on the 241. They easily hit 120 mph at one point. I could barely keep up!! =(
Even the guy at the toll booth told me he had taken pictures of Linh and Bernard's cars as they went through the toll booth and asked if I was with the two guys. He must have assumed my measly c230 was with them.
Yeah, definitely, if you're ever bored I'm down to hang out. It's VERY boring out here in Riverside.
Hey, Carlos..what happened with the cops?! They kept coming by...did they give you guys problems at the tent thingy or were they pretty cool?
