Come say hello to a fellow 1-5k barge lurker then

[r129sl]

I will. I'll be there early if I get there. Arriving into London at 17h50 and then have to be in Covent Garden at 20h00, so it's a bit tight but I'm going to try.

I'll wait until the main rush hour is over and expect to be there around 19.00, traffic permitting. I'm coming from Newbury.

Well that was very interesting. I was only able to stay 15minutes or so but it was worth it. The 500 SE looks amazing, by the way.

Sorry not to meet properly. We were prob inside having a coffee after we arrived. Some nice cars on show and things not normally seen. The w110 ESP

I was only there from 6.45 until about 7pm: I was the chap in the Prince of Wales check suit with a leather overnight bag. I thought the 110 Finny was nice, your 126 is fantastic, puts my own very much to shame, and I liked the "Rude" 124s. Do you know anything about E7? I haven't found anything on the web. I thought the Ace Café was a great little joint. I have some photos which I'll upload as soon as I can.

Many thanks for the kind comments. I am hugely pleased with the car.

Not too clear on E7, heard someone say its W124 as 1+2+4=7 and E classes = E7.
One of the guys with the S124 in Blue is on mbclub.co.uk it seems. Other than that I am none the wiser. They did look good though in a different kind of way.

I didn't arrive until 19.35 due to missing the turn and ended up near Wembley

Anyway, not a bad turn out I thought. Quite a few rusty heaps (well they are Mercs) and a few nice things. Only 3 Pagodas though. I liked the Fintail and the old SE. Good to see a 500E there too.

The dark blue W126 was pretty good, from what I saw of it. The E7 (E7mercs.co.uk on the bottom of their plates but address not working) lot apparently have a shop which carries out mods to W124s, etc.

Met a couple of blokes from the MBO forum. Stayed until around 21.30 as it was pretty chilly by then.

I have this in a large format if anyone wants it.
