Well, arrived home around 1:00PM today after completing a 522 mile round trip in my little 190.

It's the longest trip I've ever done it it and it behaved impeccably, keeping up with the modern stuff along the way. It also managed over 30mpg which impressed me a lot as I was expecting mid twenties.

Big thanks to Ollie, Pauline and all the Prestige staff for organising what is still my favourite event of the year. Hope to see you all again in 2019.

Fantastic event! Thanks to the organisers! Can’t believe this is the first BOTG I have made it to.. wont be the last.

Everything was spot on. Well done to the organisers!

I won’t bother posting my pics as the ones above are much better than mine!

Great to catch up with everyone.

Had a lovely drive home, the nav took me the long way through lovely country roads back up to the a34.. those lanes are highly recommended for a summertime blast..

See you all soon!

A272?

 

[jaymanek]

A272?

Yes rings a bell. If I’m honest I think I went the wrong way leaving the pub and then the nav took me a long winded way up to the 34... still it was a great drive..

 

[daveenty]

A272 is the way I go Jay. Up the A3 towards Petersfield and follow the Winchester signs.

Sounds like you could have gone the bottom way through Warnford?

I'll echo much of what has been already said but great work & thanks to Natacha, Olly & all @ PCS for all their hard work & organising this event.

Great event & my 1st BOTG as it always seems to have fallen at times I couldn't make. Great to meet many of you & put some faces to forum names. Sorry to those I didn't meet or speak to.

It won't be my last & I'd love to meet more often but time for me seems in very short supply at the moment.

Keep well all [emoji6]

All I can see is wow what a day. Firstly a massive thank you to all that was involved in organising Benz on the Green. Such a amazing day... the drive through the country. .the weather.. the cars and the people.. everything was spot on. Was great to meet and talk to all the prestige car guys and girl. Nice to put cars to faces.... I am so very deeply humbled to be awarded the Druk award for my car. Unfortunately I never met Derek but I have been aware of his crazy projects for some time especially the om606 powered r107. Really sounded like man after my own heart and I'm honoured to receive this award. Can't wait for next year and to possibly catch up with you guys at other events. Thank you. Dan

What a excellent day that looked to be, some fantastic cars there[emoji106] from the photos & comments looks like the organizers put a lot of effort into that, well done, it certainly paid off[emoji122][emoji122], gave a lot of enjoyment to those who were there and those like myself who weren’t but enjoying the photos and reading the thread. Definitely on my list to do next time[emoji3]

I have to say Dan (Well I don't bit I will) What a fabulous Benz you have there and a worthy winner of the DRUK award. He will be smiling at that one. Congratulations.
