Sounds good. Where abouts in London?

Tan

It appears I'm staying at the Radisson Kenilworth in Bloomsbury, working in Aldwych so nice and handy for once . Will be there from Monday afternoon. send me a PM rather than take the thread

Likewise - anyone else?

Good turn out for everyone, glad you all had a good time I wonder what other people thought when they saw all the mercs on the car park??Oh yes, Did you all keep swapping sides of the parking lot for different photos?

When we moved from the back car park to the main entrance it was chaos! We had the main entrance completly blocked. Good job no one wanted out. It was a brill GTG. Thankyou to everyone who came in my car and for the kind words. Thank you to everyone who took me in their cars. 0-60 in Gravs E55 was fun! 4 up, wet road still about 6.5secs

So when I get a bill for removing excess rubber marks I know where to send them

Nice to meet you all today, I will pass your comments back to my director friend, and I am sure from the professional manor we portrayed ourselves, many may there be to follow

Look forward to the other pic's as well, I will forward them all on.

Regards Paul.

Well done Fastlady! Lovely pics. The panaramic roof on your car is SO cool! Glad you had a good time!

 

[FastLady]

Just to add - was great to see everyone again (or meet you in some cases!), have a ride in each others' cars, do some petrolhead style tyre kicking and engine inspection (in the freezing cold!!), and generally chat about everything and anything!

Thanks again to drifting who arranged the tea and biscuits - the general manager gave us all a very pleasant welcome (despite Maff's infamous case of destructive-itis today and the fact that we all completely blocked the entrance to the car park when we took some of the photos at the front of the hotel!). Let's hope we still get an invite back!

Hope to see most of you at Bruntingthorpe in March too

Impressive "haggle" of Mercedes. Its nice to see so many at relativly short notice. Makes me wish I was there to lower the tone with a rusty 124

Spot the odd one out?

No, can't tell which one was Manual. They all look like Autos to me.

[TOPMERCS]

Its seemed like a wonderful gtg,unfortunately I couldn't make it,even after trying very hard-thought i ll get a chance to meet up with you guys, but with a 2 yr old,sometimes it gets impossible to plan anything,as some of you might know.I hoping that next time a gtg near London is planned Ill try to make it,although after seeing the great photos taken it seemed i would have been one of the only ones with the oldest merc (w124)-Will keep a look out for the next meet. - You all have great cars,sorry i mean mercs,can see the passion of your mercs on how clean they are - good work.

 

[R2D2]

Hopefully you'll be able to make it next time. Seeing as the Bridgewood seem to have made us welcome, maybe it wont be too long until we are back
