beemaze - that was your C55??? I was trying to figure out who it was. My CLK was parked next to it, but you probably wouldn't know if your wife took off without you.
Yea, mine was the silver one. Yours is silver too, right? The C55 was lonely there all by himself. Then the wife took him for a drive to the Camarillo outlet....

Too bad, I didn't get to meet you again. I was with a friend of mine and my kids and his kid. They were all drooling over at the Ferrari and Lambo section.

I just wish more benzes showed up. There were a TON of VDub's in the back.
Oh well, it was all for the kids anyways!!

When I showed up, the MB World section was EMPTY . . . so I parked with some of my BMW buddies. I saw a few Benzes stroll in an hour or so later but I was too lazy to move my car. I ended up leaving around 11 anyhow. Anybody win anything at the raffle?

I was there from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM, but the C55 was only there an hour(see above Post). The raffle started at 11:45 until 12:30. We had about 7 raffle tickets between us and didn't win. They had a few decent things like $500 credit towards ECU tuning, free dyno runs from AMS (in Carson - where I'm about to dyno the Cayenne TT after I had it chip tuned), racing school certificates. There was some other cheapo (no offense intended) stuff too.

Keep in mind, this was all about collecting toys for kids for X-mas. The raffle was just a bonus for us that decided to stay. A few people won 2 or more items....lucky.

The one thing that bugged me somewhat was all the patrol cars hanging out on Agoura road after the Meet. My radar detector was going off like crazy....hehe. Everybody behaved themselves quite well!

Anybody win anything at the raffle?
My friends and I, along with pisces777(Joe) were some of the lucky ones. I got a gift certificate to Maria's, one of my friends got a Toyota cap (I think it was), the friend he brought along won the Clipper tickets, and pisces777 won something (family portrait?), but I forgot.

I will start a new thread with my pictures, but want to let you guys know the event made the front page of the Daily News today.

well, I'll just post the pics here. Just want to say thanks again to everyone and it was great meeting all the new and old faces again.

And to Dusty, thanks for putting on such a great event for the people and of course, for the kids. Most people don't realize all the hard work he and other volunteers put into this for it to be as organized as it was. Making signs, arranging the parking, calling the various companies, etc. My hats off to you and the rest of the crew. Looking forward to next year! And I'm pretty sure the kids will be more than happy this holiday season.
