G-Wagon 40th Anniversary at Mercedes Brooklands
Excellent! Well done gooch - I'm sure this has taken a lot of effort. Your first drink is on me.
Hopefully now that it is 100% definite and we have a date then more G owners will make the trip.

15th is locked in.
Never been to MB World. Had a 230GE since 1991, so 28 years of the G's 40. I might have to wash it for the day. Sorry, not it, but Betty now, christened by daughter who grew up in old Gs and now learning to drive in this one.
Pub grub for the return sounds good too.
Gooch Many many thanks for arranging this day out. 10 out of 10 for perserverence. Add one more to the list The New Forest chapter of the ~GWOA will be there.
I'm still 100% joining you.
I am still G mobile and coming (x2) on the 15th.
I won't be coming it clashes with a planned holiday with our grandchildren, hope it goes well
Looking forward to it!
See you all there...
Is there a particular spot in MB World we should head for please?
Best wishes to all
OE68 :-)
Hi Nick,may I say well done,and all being well will see you sat.15th,regards PeterB
green 464, should be easy to spot;.
late to learning about this event, but hopefully, see you there.
Very well done Gooch, a great piece of organising. Our G is indisposed at present so will have to slum it in a silver ML. See you on Saturday.
As gooch says, come in any vehicle. Just come.
Ideal outing for anyone on here who is thinking about joining the G Wagen owning fraternity.
You'll see lots of different G Wagens and have the chance to talk to lots of owners who will be delighted to discuss the joys and pitfalls (I haven't found any of those - err, OK they do drink a lot) of owning a G and talk to you about what to look out for when searching.
Blimey - that's shiny.
I'd better get the bucket and sponge out tomorrow.
Thanks to Gooch and Nick for organising. Great to meet so many.
I'm sure there will be more and better pics but here's my offering.
And here's my rather rubbishy attempt at video with a 'phone (hope it works)
