MB World Sunday Service: Time For Coffee?

Relive another excellent Sunday Service with our quick highlights vid

---

Now that's a Sunday Service! Yesterday at Mercedes-Benz World was a fantastic advert for the PH community, with over 500 cars and their owners mingling at a brilliant location with the great weather an unexpected bonus too.

Though seeing cars queued back to the Brooklands hotel was rather daunting at times (!), hopefully it was all worth it eventually. Thanks to all at Mercedes-Benz World for laying on so much to keep everyone entertained and having the event organised so well.

So if you're back in the office this morning looking at C63s in the classifieds or searching out Countach pictures, here's a quick video of the morning from photographer Tom Begley. He says video isn't his thing but we think he's captured the morning perfectly.

So stick the kettle on and take a couple of minutes to remind yourself of a superb PHSS. We look forward to welcoming those of you signed up for Beaulieu in a couple of weeks!

See the video here.

Sadly I had to miss this one, but is always a great SS and interesting for all the family as well.

Superb day out thanks pistonheads.

Highlight was the lamborghini countach owned for ten years purchased for £60k now worth approx £150k was a pleasure chatting to the owner as he was about to depart

He is friends with harry metcalfe who also owns a countach (evo magazine owner ) and told me how he was once offered a lamborghini by Jay Kay ( jamiroquai ) for £110k years ago which is now worth approx £600k which he declined at the time due to the asking price being a bit rich for him.

It was a great day - My first Sunday Service too. Shame there is no Sunday Service stickers anymore though I was hoping to grab one .

Still it was a great day and I took a few pics which can be viewed here Pics

I'll post a few favourites here too.








I look forward to coming to more!

I see women in that video... what a travesty! Sausage fests should not be tamed.

I would love to go to one of these but I can't stand the Oakley/Fleece ensemble sported by many...

Its not cool.

great selection of cars, the cortina estate was pretty cool

Great PHSS. Hopefully some nice sunny weather for the next one

Riding to work this morning on the A3 I saw a HUGE continuous amount of oil that was left by someone, starting around the Weybridge junction going all the way in to Battersea area (I think). Very inconsiderate of whomever this belongs to, more so if they are a fellow PHer. It may have nothing to do with anyone from PH, but mighty coincidence considering there were some ageing cars about.

There are some unaware riders out there (saw a couple of them riding right in the middle of the oil), hopefully they will learn not to ride in the centre of the road without falling off.

Great day and very lucky with the weather. Passenger ride in the sls was pretty fun, quite a nippy car

[LFC856]

Had a great day, thanks to Pistonheads for arranging it

[M Godfrey]

Thanks Pistonheads and Mercedes, it was a great day out.

If you're the sort of person that walks very quickly and has trouble focussing, that video must be just like being there!

Looks a good shout, must make one of these some day.

You just have to embrace it. In engineering, the fleece is the CHIEF of the wardrobe. I've learn't to love it, oh and the lanyard/keycard instead of a tie.
