Just a few that others may not have taken. If they are too big lemme know I will shrink em down. Great day out chaps/chapesses a great day was had by all and great to see SOOOOO many 190s. And the owners of course. I went with a boot full of stuff and came back with a boot full of different stuff PIcturing those eraly racers going round that track at 100 mph is amazing !! Just standing on the higher banking was slippery enough, and their tyres werent any wider than my shoes !! Anyone want their plate blurred just gimma a shout. Parked up at the beginning of the day Making our way to the old banked track. On the old track heading to the banked bit. This bit was the finish line where the old racers would come off the banked bit to go through the checkered flag. I had a child with me, I had to read the museum cards Below is the merc enthusiast photographer standing in his w123 boot to get a better shot. Passed the 190s, left at concorde and pack to the paddocks. I noticed somebody videoing as all going down the queue towards the banking, I would love to get a copy of that. 40 cars I think it was at that

Still I think it still looks good, and when the article comes out in Mercedes Enthusiast there should be a few good photos.

Why couldnt they have started making the 190 in summer time Actually, was the timing related to the first one or just the year ? The merc enthusiast shots will look awesome. I noticed he took one of my engine and some of the veg cars 'mothercare upgrade'. Fingers crossed.... Anyone know which issue its likely to be in ? Next one I guess :unsure:

Next one I guess :unsure: I don't know what issue it will be in, at latest January I would say, he was interviewing quite a few people, did he ask much about the veggie car? As far as I know the first retail 190 was produced in November 1982.

He doesnt post much (too busy keeping our company afloat) but loves his veggie 190. I didnt realise the confusion until today. I must get more 3.0 cars to even it out
