Sleeping with the enemy - Mercedes World

Post by Sanj » Thu Nov 03, 2011 10:13 pm

So I got a rare chance to go to a corporate event at Mercedes World (no idea why, I'm not that well connected!!!) and thought I'd post a couple of pics.

I even got a 15 minute ride in an AMG - think they called it the 'driving experience'...

Nice day :)

Love the blown-up F1 car.

No comments about my photography btw! I'm still learning! Particularly happy with the last pic though - over 100 metres away and through a window on the 3rd floor!

Great pics you are really getting to grips with that camera now - 1st pic very impressive & even the moving shot good too :thumbsup:

Thanks for sharing & gald you enjoyed the day.

Been there myself - Not really a Merc fan but hard not to be impressed by venue & metal on display.

Does look like you had a good day out.

Is that you in the passenger seat on the last picture ?
