Mercedes benz world and brooklands museum

[Markjames]

I know it has been widely covered on here but had a spare day today so took a trip to Mercedes world and brooklands museum.
Benz world did not have as much to see and do as I expected but still worth the trip. Some great exhibits like the hanging f1 car




And the Stirling moss slr




And a 7lt s class amg




Brooklands has a real hap hazard feel to the way it is laid out but again some good things to see and being able to walk up the famous banking was worth the trip on its own. There's not a lot left but seeing how high the bank is, it's hard to imagine the racing that went on there.

Also first proper trip in the c220, 150 mile round trip. Starting to loosen up nicely now she has 1400 miles on her. The gearbox that felt quite notchy early on especially when coming to a stop is also getting better with miles.
The sport+ suspension that can feel firm around town feels really stable at speed and its such a comfortable easy car to drive that the journey just flew by.

I was there recently and really enjoyed it. Will try and do Brooklands too next time.

also managed a trip not so long ago - great fun. Took a passenger ride in CLS AMG which was truly awesome!

If I had more time I would have done something like this, kept looking at brochure but was a real spur of the moment thing. Will be going back when it's a bit warmer and drier withs friend to have a better look at brooklands so may try then.

Was definitely worth it, was astonishing to see what those cars are ultimately capable of in the hands of a professional driver.
