Post pics, comments, suggestions from the Socal AMG meet and for future meets...

This meet was awesome!~! I counted 48 benz's. This meet came out so much better then I thought. More then 80% of the people listed came. Thanks again for making this meet another great success. I would like to thank Evosport for coming out to this event and I would also like to thank our fellow member ADX for driving all the way from Vegas. To the SD people thanks again for making the trek up north and I really sincerely hope that it was worth it. And last but not least everyone else who drove from the valley, la, OC, and other places. Thanks.

I hope people will put post comments on what you thought about this meet. As we post more meets I want to make it better and better as we get bigger and bigger. Any suggestions and comments would greatly be appreciated.

the meet went great. I wish I had a chance to ride in some of the 55s tho. Nice to see the officers was enjoying the meet too instead of breaking up the party. This is great compare to some BMW meets where it gets broken up when cops showed up.

I forgot my camera in a rush to get the car washed before the meet, so plz some lots of pics from the meet, guys

I have about 65 MB worth of pics from the meet, so let me know what's the best way to go about posting them.

Everybody was very polite and easy going, not too much showboating (that is until we started to leave), and the Pasdena Police are always a class act.

It's too bad somebody was left behind. Maybe we should post a map and directions to Fuddrucker's next time assuming that's where the next Rose Bowl meet will conclude.

I had a good time as well, I had to leave a little early and couldn't make it to fuddruckers, but it was good times!

I think the funniest moment of the meet was the caravan (coming from I'm not sure) circling the Audi... :p

As for pics, I have like 200MB's worth of pics (but I have a 7.2MP cam, so not that many pics), I started a thread in OT, here it is if you guys want to check it out...

James, sorry but I had an event to attend in Newport Beach, so I was pressing for time and had to leave...however, I did see your "hyper-boost" ride parked next to Sun's rocketship, immediately my garden variety felt out of place :p

I'll see you & your entourage of import models at HINs

I was 168 out of that 22000

but anyways, when i was coming back home (to lake forest that is) i was on the 5s and there was heavy traffic so i was driving in the middle lane of the 3 lane freeway, and this guy was like riding me like no tommorow then he gunned it...(this is still heavy traffic)...and then gets into the left lane but before he gets fully in it, i have to apply my brakes because freeway stopped again, the guy swerves... nearly hits me, but insted he looses control and he nik'd he guardrail then looses some more control and his car is coming to my drivers side, it was in hand touching distance then it fishtailed and he regained control then sped off pretty fast... it was very close for something major/minor to happen...

Great show up guys... Good to meet many of you. I was upset however that HPS failed to show with the cars promised. I was looking forward to seeing their GEN II system.

I uploaded it and it didn't work. Doesn't allow Winrar. Do you know or does anyone know where the Microsoft Publishing Wizard (zip) program can be located on windows?

My friend was the one with the silver audi. He just decided to get out of the way because he saw the sworm of benz's circling him. No harm done. The other black audi was a friend of mine's also. Didn't know he was gonna stop by but he did. Some of the audi guys are real koo. I know because I use to own one and went to alot of their gtg's...
