Maybe next time somebody could arrange certain caravans when going for a drive somewhere after the meet, because some people got lost (especially those who aren't familiar with the place). Like maybe a set of 5 cars each, so that we don't need to run the lights or keep up badly.
And another suggestion like somebody has mentioned would be to arrange the cars the parking lot by groups/class. Just my .02
It was good though! A bit hard to get there from my place, not being that familiar with the place and all. Like SL_Brabus I also got lost so I had to scurry back home and kill some more bugs with my huge grille along the way. I'd also love to see more non-AMG ones, but I understand that this was originally an AMG meet.

Thought for sure Adam was going to be there? I ended up working!
I would've blown it off, but the dealer in Escondido still has my car. Something's up with the trans, had an odd code and they're replacing a valve or sensor? I'll know more tomorrow. Figures it was such a good turnout when I can't be there. More pics please, and let's get another meet together ASAP. Really wanted to meet some of you board members.

this meet was great. i was very pleased. always glad to see the regulars and new faces. also im really glad to see alot more older models making out to the meets. also more and more people seem to be staying for the dinner afterwards. i was a little bummed i brought a loaner car to the meet and not mine. so many black and silver cars out there. need a splash of color. next time, for sure!
next time we should buy out the lot at fuddruckers and keep the american muscle cars in the regular parking lot!
im uploading my pics to my comp and will post them soon!
