that seems to be the plan !

Please please please (i'm talking from 10 MB Meets of Experience here),
make sure everyone coordinates the times for arrival / departure from each caravaning point. Glendale / Diamond Bar / etc...

Always give 5-10 minutes of lee-way for stragglers / traffic.
It might be a good idea to set up a mid-way point, in case people get left behind or stuck behind a traffic light or something. That way everyone can catch up again, and be on their way.
Like FrankW mentioned, walkie-talkies are good; and get leader & tail cell #'s to call in case you get lost, left behind, flat tire, etc....

I'll leave all the coordinating details to you guys... just want to make sure everything flows smoothly for this super MB Meet.

Can't wait to see all 100+ of you guys on the 15th !!!

Yo Jim- be careful in the Cav, I once got one as a rental because the stealership ran out of Benzes and I forgot about the lack of power on the freeway and nearly got run over by a semi.

Too bad you can't make this one, they just keep getting larger and larger.

Vic,

That sounds good. See you there at 9ish. Yes i've already coordinated with the Rowland Heights/Diamond Bar group. We'll meet them at the Rite Aid location. Not exactly sure how traffic is going to be at 134Efwy to the 210E and then the 57S so we might have to rush but again we'll see. So far the list of caravan is as follows.

1. JamE55
2. Vic55
3. Den_25
4. nRo (narek) - (maybe)
5. Kompressorchick (will call)

dtxmob,

Will you be joining us (glendale caravan) for the caravan? Need to know so that we don't get delayed. Pls let me know asap.

Thanks

traffic should be relatively light on the 134 and 210 at the time we leave.

please coordinate with Danny (dtxmob), as he's coming all the way down from San Jose.
Meeting up with you Vic at the car-wash in Santa Clarita is a good idea.
That way he can make it to the Glendale caravan too, since from there, it's a whole bunch of different freeways down to Diamond Bar and on to Irvine.

Thanks !!!

List of attendees:

1. JamE55
2. Vic55
3. Den_25
4. nRo (narek)
5. Kompressorchick (will call)
6. dtxmob

If anyone would still like to join this caravan and was/is unable to put their name down just meet us at this location below 9:00am Sharp!

Meeting Place for Glendale Caravan
Address is:
Calstar Mercedes Benz
700 South Brand Blvd,
Glendale, CA 91204
866-738-0000
Meeting Time is: 9:00am - 9:30am Sharp We'll try and depart early to avoid traffic.

After we depart we'll be heading up the 134Efwy to the 210E and then the 57S to meet up with the Rowland Heights/Diamond Bar group. We'll be meeting up at the Rite Aid location then head down to Irvine. I'm not exactly sure what the travel time is because we might hit traffic but according to Vic there shouldn't be that much of a traffic on Saturdays. Also i've heard from the news that the weather is suppose to be cool maybe around high 60's to low 70's.

In any case i'll see everyone there tomorrow at 9am bright and early.
