Heys guys... I've added myself to the current caravan list:

Vic55
Cappa26
FrankW
VIP ONE
pshek
Wesss
ChrisDPham
AndySays
arthurx01
1V8C55

I'm going to be driving from Fullerton. I'll be in a 2006 Silver C55 AMG (all stock ).

Vic55,
I've seen you at the last Irvine meet and also at the Summerfest meet, but did not get a chance to introduce myself. I'm looking forward to checking out your CL65 monster. Oh yeah... thanks again for helping me update my username a few weeks ago.

FrankW,
I was in the Diamond Bar caravan for the Summerfest meet. I parked next to your car in Huntington Beach too. It will be cool to cruise with you again.

pshek,
Your car is sick. You've got some crazy mods on that C32 Sports Coupe.

arthurx01,
From Rowland Heights, your best bet is to take the 60E to the 57S to the 91E and meet in Anaheim Hills

Everyone else,
I'm looking forward to meeting new car enthusiasts. This is my 3rd meet and I still feel like a newbie.

One last note:
How much is the toll road fee? We will need exact change in quarters right? The last time I passed through the toll road without $0.75, I recieved a fine of $47.50

See you guys Saturday...

You dont need change for the toll road as the machines take bills up to 20's I think but be prepared to have a bunch of silver dollars if you pay with a twenty.

I have fast track so Ill roll thru and then slow down to wait for the teams- we will be going thru two toll road booths to the Spectrum- we should be able to have a nice run 140+++ after the 2nd booth too.

HAHA - of course I remember that drive down there and back. One of the best cruises we've ever had - How could I forget you hauling *** up and down the freeway smoking everyone. LOL

So, are they still not allowing to pay to get into the toll road now? because I don't have a toll road pass since I hardly pass through that area.

You absolutely can pay for the toll road, it should be about $4.50 to $5.00 for the two toll pass. Do you have plates on your car?

It's the 241 toll road that we're taking off the 91 fwy. Sort of a short canyon run/cruise. Should be fun. Toll costs about $4.50 cash. We start at Anaheim Hills 91 FWY to 241 to 133 to 5 to the Irvine Spectrum off Alton Pkwy. Just bring some small change for the toll fee.
