Excellent coverage indeed. How long it take you to cover the whole place?
I was blown away how large of an event it was. Didnt even get to see everything in the two days we were there!

I went there twice. First on the press day (13th) with Jason and Southlight. Then a week later (20th) I decided to go back to see the things I missed like the Akrapovic exhaust system for the 1M(and some other cool cars). |

Thank you for sharing it with us ... great photographs ! Do you have the dates for 2012? Perhaps planning a ED for that time frame would not be a bad idea
 Thanks again, Rolf-Dieter

Awesome Dack, thanks!
The way Brabus keeps messing with Mercs.....it's a crime. C63 Black series looks hot though.
