10Aug2008 SoCalEuro, QCOM stadium, San Diego City, & surprise teaser photos

**etyu** · 08-10-2008

Met up at 8:45 - 9:00am today with Tslick and SLKluv in Irvine. We drove to the nearby assembly area as everyone was moving out to Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego City. Weather was good: sunny, low 80's.

MIB (Men In Black - shades that is). NO, they're not right-hand-drives (RHD). The shot was taken through cockpit rear view mirror, while lining up to get inside the stadium parking lot:

Met up with Caywoman and Cyberdrakon at the parking lot. It was good to see you guys again

There were some MB represented: SLK63, C63, CL, Unimog. Cyberdrakon's ride got the most attention. As soon as it parked, there was a crowd of 20 or more taking a close look and photos. Great to meet the team that did the work.

Riding home via the coastline (just the three of us, is that a name of a song?

), went through La Jolla, Del Mar, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Encinitas, Carlsbad:

Blue skies, puffy clouds:

Thats one crazy wide body kit.

**KTownAMG** · 08-11-2008

Great pics! Fantastic cars, scenery and friends. Doesn't get much better than that!

**slkluv** · 08-11-2008

Was lots of fun. For the last 30 minutes or so of the trip I had to put up the top as I ended up getting sun burnt. Too bad I forgot my camera for the trip, great pics etyu!

**etyu** · 08-11-2008

More photos to come tonight (Pacific Standard Time).

Thanks for the pics Eddy!

I was wondering what happened to the usual "food shots."

cyberdrakon · 08-11-2008

Hey Eddy, don't be sorry, i'm sorry, i was too stressed out to be paying attention to you guys...after you guys drove all that way to meet up with me.

I've only had a total of 10 hours of sleep for the 3 days leading up to the show.

cyberdrakon · 08-11-2008
