Talking San Diego Benz people, Holla!

Just wondering what the SD benz crew usually does as far as meets go. There are weekly meets in Clairemont on Tuesday nights. It used to be just a Euro meet until some Subaru, Nissan and Infiniti peeps started showing up. It's a pretty big deal and I was wondering why I never saw any Mercedes there? The parking lot is usually full by 8pm and it's actually kinda fun to go check out some of the imports. Most of which are really fast.

Anyways, I think some benz people should come out to the meets, or at least be a part of a euro meet down here. I usually organize a euro meet every couple months and get a bunch or bmw's, porsche's and the audi/vw crew. It's alot of fun and I just wanted to gauge interest in something like this. Thanks.

Whereabouts in Clairmont do you all meet? I'd be down for stopping by and hanging out and checking out all the other rides.

I've put together a few different meets in San Diego and we've had a decent turnout for most of them - the last was in Coronado and we got some great photos.

Keep me updated and I'm sure we'll have some other San Diego natives stop by. Thanks!

Here is a link to this weeks meet. Unfortunately I start school next week and have a couple night classes, so this will be the last Tuesday night meet that I will be able to make for awhile.

Would any of you guys be interested in doing an all euro meet? It would be pretty fun if we could organize something like that.

Yeah I saw that. I unfortunately have class m-th nights until 9:30pm, so the week night meets are out for me. But I still think the benz people should show. Are you going to plan another meet up in Anaheim like last year? That would be really fun.

All I hear is bickering over KK and/or FUSION.... don't even know where these 2 places are !!!!

do any MB's show up, or will I be there by myself with crickets & frogs ?

Please cross-post here, so myself (and anyone else with a MB in SanDog that is interested) can go to the next one.

We settled all the drama.

We switched to weekly Wednesday night to get away from the people who complain.

http://www.socaleuro.com/forum/calendar.php for more info on dates.

There's not all that many benz around. But still fun guys to hang out. Great mix of cars. Usually the mix is 10 Audi's, 15 BMW's, 15 VW's, couple benz, but we havent been posting on benz forums til lately ... lets get more benz out !!

Fusion is a small restaurant/boba place on Clairemont Mesa Blvd. They are across the street from Cheetas, the strip club. And yes, my semester ended a month ago.

I'm starting at CSUSM in the fall.
Usually the entire parking lot is full. It's almost always just euro cars, but every once in awhile, someone brings a friend with an STI or something.
Edit: But I won't be able to make the meet this Wednesday since I'm doing a photoshoot up in Malibu for a bmw magazine. Next week for sure tho.

Yeah we did. Pretty good turn out. There were only 3 MB's though. The rest were BMW, Audi, and VW's.

Hahaha...yeah well it felt that way when Jay and I first got there. Luckily I didnt go alone and knew some people from SoCalEuro including the owner of Fusion so it wasn't that bad. It would have definitely felt weird if I was a n00b and went by myself.

If you're asking about the meet at Fusion: It's every Wednesday at 7pm.
