Well, as Tom said, my family and I attended this event on Sunday, and, as always had a great time =)

There were loads of cars, old and new to see, along with an appearance from Heikki Kovalainen, who drove his MP24 and also the W126, an old F1 car. He also drove the SLR 722! There was also a display from the Mercedes-Benz World "Silver Arrows" drivers, and a helicopter.

As you know, there is a young drive scheme at MB World. They were letting the kids drive round in A Class Autos. Now, my Dad decided that auto was too easy, pulled a few strings and mysister ended up in a C Class with AMG trim!! Very nice..huh??

**VIDEOS ARE HERE {#12}:D**

I thought you would have a few more photo's... not this many more :p Good stuff, now everyone can see a wider variety of the cars on display :)

nicely done, and nice that she got to drive a decent car too, when I left you guys it was still an auto A Class :p

Well, when you know the right people....!

Yeah, you can see why they took over 2 hours to upload!

Sorry to blow your bubble but that C-Class ain't an AMG :p

Its just a C-Class sport.

Still great fun to drive, especially the C350 :D

Looks like great fun, I really need to get myself down there when another event happens, I need to go to MB WORLD!!! :p

Hahaa, we know :p but it still had all the AMG trim, so you know! She enjoyed it :D

Yeahh, go! It's really good, just book beforehand!

^^^ did it have the Agility pack / the Sport Button?

It makes all the difference, it really improves the ride and holds the revs better.

Damn, its annoying, I'm the Merc guy, I should of been there :(
I'll need to find out the event so I can book time off for it :D

Honestly, I don't know! I will ask my sister when I see her :D

What do you plan to do at MB-World...drive round, be driven round...skidpan..etc??

EVERYTHING!!!! :p I'll show up with my Work T-shirt, with the name of one of Britain's best Merc garages. :D

I think try the skidpan 1st though, I want to try and hold a C-Class sideways longer than a couple of seconds :p

I havent driven around there yet... i'm too old for the young training and too young for the other driver training courses, and now, I will be old enough next month, I am too poor :p i've had a few passenger rides at event weekends which are only £5 then, which helps!

Hopefully Hyphon can make the most of it instead!!

^^^ My boss went a while ago and managed to get a few laps for nothing :p

^^ Aha, everything! Skidpan is a hell of a lot harder than it looks.
At one point the Silver Arrows squad have 4 cars going round, 2 of them clockwise and 2 of then anti-clockwise, that's pretty scary!

^^ Are you sure you have to be 21? When I'd said I'd passed my test the guy we know said I should go down sometime and have a drive!!??

Double post, I know, but videos:

Damn those are some nice cars. Looks like fun.
Really Lik'n the SLRs, the Gumpert, Diablo, and R8.

I see you met the stigs cousins lol

http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg206/tonyelgood/DSC08929.jpg

That picture with the drivers is priceless!

I'm jealous, looks like you guys got a great show! Wish I could have gone.

Well, looks like y'all had fun.
I wish there was stuff like that around here.:(
America prolly has the lowest car enthusiast rate in the world.:mad:

Damn I wish I was there.



P.S. It's MP4-23 for future reference. :D

^^ It's the MP4-22, it's last years car!

^^ Are you sure you have to be 21? When I'd said I'd passed my test the guy we know said I should go down sometime and have a drive!!??

I was told that I could drive when I went there when it opened, but when I tried to actually book it I was told I was too young, I later enquired again to be told I could, so I told the lady on reception that it was getting ridiculous, so she phoned head office and then nobody seemed to know what was going on... So here I am still having not done any of their courses

Great pics and coverage as always Cheeky.

As i mentioned earlier in Tom's original thread that open top Shelby GT500 Indeed does have the full SuperSnake treatment (I WIN !!:D) .

Thanks for sharing.

Great pics Cheeky. After Scoobiekid's pics and yours i think that i went over there.

Thank you Cheeky!

Hey!

I really don't know if it did, was too busy concentrating!:)
Was amazing to drive though (as I'm sure you know), even if it did have misleading AMG trims :cool:. Even though the man wrote that it was an AMG on the paper, but we knew it was not because it was a diesel anyway!!

Anyway, had a great day, you must go sometime, brilliant place:D

Kaz!! I say this every single time! You forgot to take me again!!

I like the dodge very much :D

You're friends look safe! Wanna introduce me?

haha, The Diesels are still fun to drive, especially the 320CDI (3.0L Turbo V6), the torque just pulls away and you still get power coming in the higher revs. Too bad it wasn't a proper AMG, then you would get the feel of pure V8 POWER!!! :p I still need a shot of a C63, I'll just have to wait for now.

Anyway, I do plan to go, hopefully before the end of September.

I see you met the stigs cousins lol

Some say they eat tires for breakfast, others say there was once a fifth one...all we know is, it is not the stig, but stig's German cousins!

lol...great photos, I would love to go to such an involved show like that. That was really cool to see Heikki and the F1 cars, although the DTM car is absolutely amazing.
