PM, FrankW who is coming from Diamond Bar area, and jump on their Anaheim Hills / Rowland / Diamond Bar caravan. Also listed as a caravan thread. That would work better for you.

This meet will be a lot more kick-back and stress-free !!

there will be general CLASS parking in different sections yes, and someone will direct them to park accordingly, but within those areas, it's first come, first serve. It will be OK. If an E parks next to a C, no one is going to blow a gasket....

only me !
As long as that SLR and CLK-DTM stay away from my Coupe !!!


by the way...
what year is your guest's CLK320 ????

Damn, you guys and your tickets. Knock on wood, I have not hade one in over three years. It would be nice if we had a way to make a couple of WOT runs. My sig line needs something new like:

I got boned by a girl....

Sorry Angela, that one was just too hard to resist. Seriously, I would rather ride in your built E, than my little Coupe

This is so we can all caravan together to the Tri-State meet in Irvine. For everyone in the SouthBay or Westside (hell, anyone coming down the 405, so Valley/TO peeps, come join us)!

The meeting place is tentatively the parking lot of Ikea in the South Bay Pavillion in Carson.

It's pretty easy to find, off of the 405 South (it's on the way to the meet):
Exit Avalon and turn left. Get to your right lane and you'll see Ikea to your right. Turn into the parking lot and you should find us. -added by drexappeal- Just to add, this is past the 110 freeway interchange.


I want to leave at around 11:30-11:40ish so we can get there around the start of the meet.

Who's down? Any comments/suggestions?
Anyway to leave around 11-11:15? Wouldn't want to be too late. With traffic won't it take about 45 min

Boned by a girl. LOL Trust me sweetheart you are not alone.
No worries guys it doesn't bother me. I love my freakin car. Next month it will be 750hp after I change the cams and gears. I am just happy that you guys let me hang out like one of the guys. I must admit that being around a bunch of men with cool cars aint that bad. hehe
