LA Photoshoot, Double Meet, and Coastal Run!!!!

Ok, so I've been talking to a few of the w203 guys and we were planning a photoshoot/meet and lunch this Sunday in the Torrance.

Well, it turns out that E46fanatics is having a meet as well at the same time at a place that's about 4 miles away:
http://www.e46fanatics.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=478473

So, here's the plan.

We'll meet at 11am in the rooftop of Macy's in Del Amo Mall in Torrance.

Here's the map:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...,0.010407&z=17

Meet HERE, just enter the parking structure from Hawthorne Blvd (turn in at the Crate and Barrel) and then drive all the way to the top (it should be empty).


We'll take some pics there of the MBWorld crew and then round everyone up and then head on over to Ricky and Ronnies Dinner (where the E46 meet is at).

Here's are the directions from the mall, it's pretty simple and only one street:
http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=3+...&t=h&z=14&om=1

We'll have lunch at Ricky and Ronnies and then possibly take a run up the hill to Palos Verdes and drive along the coast or so.

I really don't know the routes for the run, so we'll have to figure that out. BUT, if you want to go on the run with us, there will be absolutely NO showboating allowed. Let's keep it safe, fun and legal!

See you all on Sunday!

*edit*

So the following is going to be our tentative route:

Leg 1
From: [1291-1333] Sepulveda Blvd Torrance, CA 90501 US

it's cool man, I didn't know anyone when I first started coming to the meets. you end up meeting people and making new buds. it's definitely not a problem, everyone is friendly.

hell, I only know 2 people at the e46 meet, so it's all good.

I'm game,

I think it will be a bit weird meeting BMW guys. In fact, I have a thread over at M3forum about a M3 driver that gave me the bird on Sunday a.m.

Yup! Showing up at a meet is how I now have legal representation... ...Actually, it first started by selling my OEM stuff.

I really, really hope I can make it.
