MB Track day

[pammy]

SOme of you will remember this

well today was the day - and what can I say - there isn't an emoticon in sight that can describe the grin I'm wearing right now.

I drove 10 diff cars two twice went in the "performance" car twice, did the road test, ABS and EPS tests too - and I want another go pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze

Here's what I drove:
C220 CDI
A170 D
CL600 - twice almost my fave car
CLK320
SL500
E320
C230
C220 CDI est twice - amazing handling
S320 CDI
and finally - CLK 500 - no holds barred run

Performance car was (Brian drum roll) E320 CDI = was brill
road test was an S class
ABS E class estate
ESP E class

And to top it all - I WON best girly driver of the day - so got a MB Teddy and Picture frame and we all got an MB cap which was worn all the way home coz the sun is out

I have had the best day imaginable. If you ever ever get the chance for sommat like this - grab it and enjoy. The instructors are amazing.

There was about 100 of us there and a huge range of cars. They managed to get in over 700 goes in the day - pretty good.

Guess who IS gonna do this again.

Best car - CLK 500, very closely followed by the CL600 - loved that car - plus the instructor was Peter Stringfellow's son and he was lovely, best handling C220 estate - held that road like glue - just didn't have the top end on the straight.

The performance car was amazing - all down to the driver of course - but that was the best drive I've ever ever had.

Didn't bother queueing for the AMG's - rather spent the time on the track :bannana: :bannana: :bannana:

I have had the best time ever - enjoyed every single second. Any chance to do it again - count me in!!

I was really impressed with it's handling. I expected it to roll much more than it did - it loved keeping it's speed up while hitting the bends. Like I said - only missed the power on the straight but on the rest of the track it was very sweet indeed - you have every right to wear a grin

Best part of the day was catching a S class in the A210, but he wouldn't let us past!!
