I'll be there as well. but someone needs to make firm plans and stick to them. I am good at planning events if anyone wants me to do the planning.

Sorry, I meant the caravan. I usually think of those as meets.

No biggie, just let me know what the definite meeting spot is. I went to this thing last year and it was a holy cluster f***. It was so badly planned.

Oh ok. I guess you can say that this is just an unofficial meet. Just a group of benzs caravaning to wheelpower fest. Meeting time is around 9am to 9:30am and then we'll probably take of around 10am.

I just hope it doesn't rain on saturday!

I would like to go but my son has been sick so I'm not sure. I went last year and it was kinda boring as there were only 3 or 4 MB, but this year it sounds like we'll make a difference.

BTW, the big annual MB car show is at Newport Beach Fashion Island mall this weekend, just down the way from HB. Have any of you gone to this before? I have, it's all MB, FREE, quite awesome and quite a history lesson - lots of vintage cars like gullwings.

RAIN!!!

Hey guys, bad news! There is over a 60% chance of rain on Saturday! If it ends up raining, I don't think I am going to go as it's an outdoor event and who knows who will even end up being there. The east side caravan to the fest. is even cancelling their meet/caravan if it rains. Let's see how it looks on Saturday morning, if it doesn't rain I'll be there as long as anyone else shows up. If it does rain, to each their own. Keep your fingures crossed and please post a reply if anyone else is in!

I agree. Let's see how the weather turns out on saturday. If it looks like it's going to rain then we'll have to cancel this caravan if not it's a go.

We'll see what happens.
