Thumbs up South Bay Caravan to Laguna Seca AMG Private Lounge Gathering

I know some of you guys have registered for the event, trying to see if a group of cars want to roll there together from the bay area. It would make the drive to the event fun.

There's a Shell gas station right off the last few 101 exits of San Jose that is convenient. A lot of you will probably end up taking 101 south to get to Laguna Seca so you could stop by and head out from there.

Date: Saturday, November 9th

Address: 1091 East Capitol Expressway, San Jose, CA 95121

If coming from the north on 101:
1) Take the Capitol Expy/Yerba Buena Rd exit
2) Keep right at the fork, follow signs for Capitol Expressway W
3) The Shell is on the right side of the road right after the first light, very easy to spot.

Try to arrive around noon, leaving at 12:20 PM give or take

All AMG vehicles welcome!

^ Cool

Added the freeway exit you should take when on 101.

I will try to get there a little before noon. If you guys see a bright flint gray E55 at the Shell, then you know you're in the right place

We had about 6 cars show up for the caravan

The private lounge event was cool, nice meeting some of the guys out there.
