Would anyone be interested in a meeting at Mercedes Benz World at Cobham?
It's quite a good day out, letting you play in all of their new cars and laugh at the poor quality they have the cheek to charge £100,000 for! There is also a play area for kids, interactive displays and (If booked in advance) AMG driving experiences from £25.00.
Best of all entry is free!
Let me know if anyone is interested with suggested dates and I will arrange it.

We have a few taxi drivers on here

what does 'play in all of their new cars' entail (are the keys included ;))
-
Unfortunately no keys!!! but they have everything open from A Class to S Class including all of the sports models (SLK, CLK, SL, CLS) and 4x4s (ML & GL) There are also all of the AMG models. There are historic models and F1 cars (Not for playing in!)
Interactive experiences, such as travelling along a CLK production line (All in 3D with moving seats etc.)
All in all its a good FREE day out for all of the family.
There is the opportunity for children over 1.5m in height to have a driving lesson in a Smart or A Class (Must be pre-booked) and for the grown ups AMG driving experiences on their own track and circular skid pan (Again must be pre-booked)
-
Sounds like the play doesn't entail shredding sets of tyres on a private test track then. :'(
Still, sounds like a good day out. :y
BTW: You're not the Pete Wright from the Folkestone area who used to convoy to Le Mans with me are you?

Hi
Cobham is just off jct 10 of the M25, south of London.
No it wasn't me, I've never been to Le Mans... Sorry
-
if it bores my wife and daughter they will want to move round a couple of junctions to chessington world of adventure, and try to empty my wallet on the entry gates.
-
You should be quite safe, although I have never met you wife and daughter :)
There are plenty of things to do there including interactive displays and shows.
-
Bit of a trek for me.. but may well be up for it if the dates are ok. Sounds like a good day out and a chance to meet some fellow OOF'ers :y
-
when we going? Huh? when when?
-
yep, i'd be up for that, count me in and let us know!
-
Would like to propose 4th October with a 10.30am meeting time, this should give anyone who would like a driving experience time to get it booked.
Can I have numbers by usual copy & paste method please?
