Anyone been to Mercedes World?
Discussion
Yep. I take it you mean Mercedes World in Germany as oppased to McLaren in Woking (been there too as I worked on it)
I went a couple years ago. It was good, a lot of car history and you could easily spend a day looking at the models and listening to the history. Depends how interested you are in it, as its basically just a museum. i wouldn't go to germany just for that, maybe couple it with a trip to Oktoberfest!

Yep it's pretty cool. AMG section is best (obviously) and they have some really good exhibits/classics too. The current 'exploded' f1 car is a highlight. If you can spare some time and money I'd suggest getting a passenger ride on the track - or drive if you can afford it. Amazing fun

I cant believe you lot think its interesting! Brooklands is interesting, fascinating in fact. The Merc thing is just a big Mercedes showroom. I was unbelievably bored when I went. The only interesting thing they have there is a 300SL.
I like to sit in cars I wouldn't buy because they're too expensive and don't do what I want and imagine I'm a pimp. It's fun once in a while.DJC said:

Well, I think that they have some interesting stuff at MBW. But, as DJC says it's a 5 minute walk along the road to Brooklands, which is Interesting+++++. If you like cars, Brooklands is great. If you like aeroplanes, it's a fabulous place to spend a couple of hours.I book the Merc into MBW for a 'while you wait' service. Gives me time to look around MBW, and then to toddle of to Brooklands.
Makes waiting to get your car back a pleasure.

Now done in that manner I could appreciate the place. I could visit Brooklands every day of the week and not get bored I book the Merc into MBW for a 'while you wait' service. Gives me time to look around MBW, and then to toddle of to Brooklands.

Best bit of advice is to combine the trip with something going on at Brooklands. On the 30th April its the Italian car day, which is a superb day out and then you can spend an hour at MB world afterwards.
Seconded. One of, if not THE best day on the Italian Car calender.Taking my 2 yr old boy this year, and father is taking his father. All petrolheads

Last time I passed by MBW in October they had 2 CLK GTR, loads of SLR's, and plenty of SLS AMG and 2 300SL's.
Took my stepson for some young driver lessons there,and while we there we also indulged in some trips on the off road course,my daughter then about 8 was well into the 4x4 experience.Best moment was one day we had a trip in an ML55 AMG and the driver said its a bit to clean to take back so he promptly performed some awesome doughnuts in the deep mud.Everyone there is friendly and helpful and lots of interesting stuff for kids as well.
