I'm more weary of car meets now after the recent thread about police in Irvine just handing out tickets to car groups like they were m&ms

I've been going down there for the last year or so and have never seen the police hand out tickets there. The weekly meet is well-organized, typically has 100 cars to 200 cars, and usually goes down without any issues (except for the Cobra driver who spun his wheels leaving an event, lost control, and ended up damaging his car severely against the unfriendly street curbs.

Hoping to make this my first visit... was going to drive the 993, but maybe I should take the AMG instead...

Is this an offcial "Marque" meet, or what?

I usually take my factory five cobra but I'll most likely be there in a pewter CLS55.

Look for the guy wearing a black StreetFire t-shirt with a camera.

The OP SHOULD have contacted Cars and Coffee as IF this a AMG/Mercedes margue meet they WILL let all of the cars park in the Special front parking lot
as its NOT listed on the C and C event for the date 04/12/2008

Without the special lot all the cars will be spread out..unless EVERYONE rolls in at the same time

This is not an "official" marque meet but rather a grass-roots attempt to get all AMG/SLR owners to show up on the same day and actually have a strong presence for a change. It's discouraging to always see rows of Porsches, BMWs, etc ... and only a few uber-machines.

See everyone there!
