Thanks Pistonheads for another fantastic Sunday Service... and for being so local!
Tom - BMW Z4 M Roadster (P.S. FYI Garlick - the one that turned up fairly early with the roof down #heatedseats)
Brilliant morning, my first SS. Thanks all who help organise these things, and thanks to MBW for having us!
Love the diversity of the cars, just brilliant. What other meet do you see a Hyundai i10 (i think) parked alongside a Ford GT!
Anyone able to point me to a story on the little orange Honda?

Just to add, what more could any man need?

Excellent timing. . . & a thanks to your patient driver for allowing me & my coffin-carrier to pass at 0:08 
. . .and a big thanks to the PH Team for a great day out. Top Bananas!
Cracking meet with some truly stunning cars in attendance. Good to catch up with some familiar faces and friends aswell (loving the RS Duggan)
Thanks also the the McLaren chap for allowing me to sit in the rather special 12C. Definitely a car on the shopping list for the future, stunning cars in the flesh

Great work again by Pistonheads team and Mercedes Benz World's great location. Had the wits scared out of us in one of the AMGs.
I was, however, a little disappointed by the conduct of some PHers at this Service.
It was disappointing to see many drivers speeding up and down the long approach road, along the back road (after the PH team took your name, next to the AMG circuit), and sometimes even after the 180 degree turn back toward the parking spaces... not only were there people around in that area but we were also specifically asked to keep speed down.
Indoors I saw some people touching the few roped-off display cars, such as rapping on the bodywork of one of the DTM cars; and what I believe was the owner of one particularly expensive car in the car park CLIMBING OVER the rope and opening the door of another DTM car! I think that's the height of rudeness especially considering so many of the cars were unlocked and signposted as welcome for viewing or sitting in - only a handful were roped off and even then the ropes were very generous allowing you to get right up close to the car.
Then outside on the back road (in between the parking area and the AMG circuit) on our way out I stopped to help a stricken TVR being pushed - while many people watched - they could easily have hopped over the fence. I was the only person to offer help & skinned my knee and ripped my jeans in the process!
Perhaps a little better conduct next time, PHers... I know it's only a select few people letting down the rest but you'd expect respect considering we are all petrolheads here.

Another excellent meet. Many thanks to PH and MB for the organisation.
