Good to meet you Josh. Gotta say your car is so sick!!! Didn't know you were leaving right after you ate, i didn't get a chance to take some pics. I guess it'll have to wail til the shoot.

Shouldve parked your car in front of his so he couldn't leave

Great seeing you guys again, it definitely has been too long.

I was looking forward to attending this event and displaying my car, take some pics, and finally meeting my MBworld brothers and the MBJunkies crew; but then I developed some car problems this past week (rear window regulator failed and developed a small fuel leak). I didn't get the replacement fuel rail in time (probably get it next week; couldn't risk an engine fire), so I didn't go.

I was so disappointed (that I didn't go), I couldn't even look at the pictures till today. I am determined to attend the next event (I'll tow my car if I have to), I just hope it's as good as this one.

Mercedes March Madness 2011 – Recap

Lake Forest, CA – March 26, 2011

The words “Mercedes March Madness” could not describe it any better. Our group knew a massive MB event had been well over due and envisioned a great event. After we locked in the date with Hooters of Lake Forest the word spread like wildfire. Members of various MB forums were excited about coming to an event geared towards one of their most prized possessions. Many MB owners knew this would be an event they would not want to miss. The signup list quickly soared to 120+ MB enthusiasts. Some of the stories I heard was an enthusiast hitting the road at 5am driving down from NorCal and another flying in from out-a-state that same day to pickup his Mercedes at a local tuner to showcase.

Congratulations to the winners of each category are as follows.

ll1l2l1l2lll / Donald – Best of Show Attendee Car:

Manu@DPE – Best of Show Featured Car

Vic55 – Most desired by HOOTERS

Big thanks to our supporting vendors on the raffle prizes:

Jeremy – Thanks for donating a voucher good for an ECU tune up to the value of $1000.

Serge and John – Thank you for donating vouchers for “Service A” and “Service B”.

Ed and Slang – Thanks for donating a Carbon Fiber lip for various Mercedes models.

Neal – Thank you for donating a $250 gift certificate for any of you carbon fiber products.

Jay – Thank you for donating a set of your rear camber correction arms for various Mercedes models.

Michael – Thanks for donating a free LED lighting kit

Manu – Thank you for donating T-shirt apparel and a 40% off voucher any of your sick lines of wheels.

Cannan – Thanks for your donation of a free carbon fiber double-DIN panel

BJ - Thanks for providing goodie bags with the you latest clothing and gear.

Scott – Thanks for your donation of VIP party coupons for 200 wings, Yum! Also a big thank you from all of us for hosting our event. We <3 HOOTERS

Thank you all for your support and making our event that much greater!


Other thank you’s:

Ada and Michael – Thank you for working the main booth for the raffle and other giveaways.

Joel – Thank you for coming out, setting up and spinning tunes for all us junkies.

Simon – Thanks for bringing out a group of kick-*** Black Series for us to drool over.

Tony – Thanks for all your help in organizing the SL crowd.

MB-BOB – Thanks for letting us promote this great event and get an awesome turnout.

Maureen and Nicole – Thanks for coming out and providing that extra dose of visual entertainment.

Last but not least thank you all that came out and supported Mercedes March Madness!!!
