SUMMERFEST O.C.- S.Cali BBQ MEET 8/26/06

It's that time of year again to bring your car, beach chair, family, friends and beer.

When: Saturday August 26th at 11am-whenever
Where: Central Park in Huntington Beach (central park drive)
next to the bike way/parking lot, signage will be up

Why: We will be BBQing, playing Volleyball, checking out cars,
drinking beer and hanging out! I will ask all of you coming
to help out with the food and drinks. Mark Cummins has
offered to let us use his BBQ for the day. We are looking
for a local OC member with a truck to help bring the BBQ.
I will also bring a tent for shade.

That would only be a couple of weeks away. I wanted to have it early August, but special people are racing those first two weekends. Now that we have a date and place I am confident that this meet will be a big one. Remember everyone you can bring your wife, lover, girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, sancho, kids, dogs...and for gosh sake someone bring Vic some good beer! Those of you that can make it later on we are going out on the town.

I will PM people to bring stuff once we get a sign up list going.

Seeing that I live right up the hill from there, like 2 minutes away, I guess I will have to make an appearance

It'll be quite a sight since I have not seen another E55 in HB since I've been a proud owner.

2K6E55 and who ever else is interested and is close around the Glendale area. We can all probably meet up at CalStar Mercedes Benz and caravan down there together. Let know if you're interested and i can start a new Caravan thread for this.

Jangy,

Don't think the dyno will happen either. As far as the caravan you might have to setup your own caravan since you're in SD unless you'll be around the Glendale area when the caravan time comes up. It'll be nice to have a bunch of 55 cars rolling all together though.

Irvine Spectrum sounds like an easy spot to me. Hopefully a few more AMGs will join from SD.
