Benz On The Green 5th of May 2018

Had a great day yesterday, sunshine was perfect and the cars looked incredible. Was nice to see again some familiar faces and met some more new faces. Overall a perfect day on botg.
 
Thanks again, Olly and Natacha, for another great day, with great cars, people and weather (speaking of lobsters, I've managed to burn the "upper" face, as the wife calls it).

@Andykettle Andy, it was a pleasure to meet you and your Mum yesterday, and I'm sure we all wish it wasn't so bitter/sweet. There was a lot of emotion for Derek yesterday, and Ray @300SL-24 , your tribute to him was greatly appreciated.

Loads of great pictures already, but I'll post a few more anyway.

Detail from Rashman's immaculate CLK 63. I'm sure there's dirt somewhere, I just can't find it!

And just to show that not every car is pampered and polished to within an inch of it's life (with apologies to Rockits):

Just wanted to add my thanks to the organising team. It was my first BOTG and was a thoroughly enjoyable day. Great to talk to such enthusiastic and knowledgeable petrolheads and thanks for being so friendly. - and well done whoever remembered to book the good weather! Jamie
 
Great cars, great people, great organisation and a great sunburn!

I really have a good understanding of some of the work putting this on when I assisted in taking some of the stuff down in the evening so can attest to the great effort the guys go through putting this show on for the chosen charity, well done! :thumb:

PS, If anyone comes across a pair of spectacles, let Ollie know as he's blind as a bat without them but still managed to lose them during the day!!!
 
Nice pictures. I love the W124s
