Wasn't it just ! A bit too much at times, some of the aircraft were baking hot.

The family really enjoyed it too, the staff were excellent and very keen to explain how things worked etc.

There's been a BMW meet at Brooklands 5 years ago. Before MB World had even been built! Personally, I like Merc as a company. They definetly know how to look after their staff. And Merc have even more motorsport pedigree than BMW!



Back O/T . Why was he told off for parking in front of Concorde?

Apparently they normally charge £100 to have a photo taken with Concorde !

I was at the meet 5 years ago and spent the day with the zone mob, although I was E30less at the time.

I would think for £100 they don't get any "normally"
