Some pictures from a 124 day out - Page 2 - MBClub UK

Thanks Dash, an amazing turn out of W124's, doubt that we will ever see an event on such a scale for newer "E-Classes" W210, 211 or 212's.

The W124 is truly a legend.

thanks for the photos

BillyW124 · 14-05-2012, 12:42 PM

No problem Dash, thanks for the pics, where's the 120MPH in a E220 gone?

Good shot here dash. An educational visual picture of ride height difference between an un molested 124 ride height and Er... a molested one!

So you do know how to use your Canon!

Dash, Billy and Niks,

Great to meet you too. Sorry I missed you guys leaving, I would love to have spent longer with you. Owners' Club event days like this are always great to attend, and after a while you keep bumping into people that you know, and it flys away so quickly. I was hoping to meet Trapperjohn as well, but I don't think he got memo about it being a day out and not a relay!! Thanks for the compliments about mine, one of three beryl blue cabs there. The bald head (upper face, as Sharon calls it) you see over the top of my bootlid in the first pic was quite a different shade (of red) by the time we got home!

There were three E500s there, and one of them was the last one off the production line, a pic below of it (on the left) with the other one you have pictured already. A number of cars, mostly on the grass verges, entered a concors comp, which was won by SPA 934, the cab you posted above. Other fun prizes, such as the sparkliest (any guesses?!!), the scruffiest, the highest mileage etc were given out, plus it co-incided with a Rover club event, which having owned three of the models there ( a Rover 80, a 3.5 litre saloon and an SD1 3500), really enhanced the day at a great venue.

Billy 124's lovely coupé is the first in the line of 124s below.

Even more great pictures, please keep them coming.

This looked like a great day out, is the Mercedes-Benz club the "Better" club to join.

It certainly seems to have a load of W124 cabrio members, which is my particular interest.

I feel I should make the effort and join one of the clubs, just not sure where to pin my colours.

Regards, R.

BillyW124 · 14-05-2012, 02:41 PM

Rigel:

Yes Join the official club i joined a few months back so i could attend yesterday and gain access to EPC with all the fettling i do.

For about 30 odd quid a year you get access to the forums, Monthly MB mag called the Gazzete which is a good read. Access to EPC and WIS and your own official Mercedes Benz Club membership club card sent from Germany.

d w124 · 14-05-2012, 02:45 PM

As ^ it`s well worth joining,you get a lot for 30 bp
As for the forum again as ^ this is by far the best as the other place it`s to slow,maybe simply because different forums for different models

There`s a lot of knoledged chaps there but here is where all the action happens
