Cool clip...I have ripped through that road many times...Too bad you couldnt have included a trip over Mines road as well....

Not sure about the music though...Great jpb in getting everyone together. Now if we can just combined Northern and Southern Cal in a large gathering it would be awesome. We had about 150+ cars last wekend.

Dude...your site is cool...I know all those drives. I use to live and grew up in the Bay Area. If we plan a large State gathering would yu be interested in helping us pull people together.

Thanks for sharing and spending your time pulling all the clips together. Hopefully you won't descriminate though....I drive a CLK Cabrio

Nice to see on the one video when you wee by the bridge on an overcast day that the tops were all down...now that's my way of owning a convertible. I always have mine down...hence my handle (topless)

Ciao,
Mick

Mick,
Unfortunately, we have been a SLK only group and have actually tried to get some So. Cal participation...even announcing our October 06 overnight trip to San Simeon in hopes of getting people from the south. We have only once gotten someone from Santa Clarita, who joined us on one of our drives.

Maybe sometime in the future we can have a more open California Mercedes meet.

Steve,

Anytime you want to try a collaborative approach please let me know. I will be happy to assist and get the event off the ground. There are quite a few enthusiasts down here. The problem is they are from SD, OC, LA area and even San Simeon is 4+ hours from LA, let alone SD.

I am sure we could find a good spot that would attract a great crowd.

Anyway keep up the great work!
