Off Road Course, Mercedes Benz World

Well, in order to help celebrate my birthday today, I went off to Mercedes Benz World in Woking, Surrey, to do their off-road driving course.

Absolutely brilliant. The car in question was £64,000 worth of Mercedes Benz GL class SUV. What an incredible car. Enormous and brilliantly capable off road, and yet wonderfully easy to drive, hides its size well, and incredibly nimble. I had the thing balancing on two wheels, tipped over on its door mirrors, sliding down muddy hills, climbing near vertical faces with all four wheels spinning, and up to its door frames in water, and it never complained once. What's more I was cocooned in sumptuous leather and wood, as calm as if I was doing 20mph down a smooth as silk highway. I didn't come close to getting stuck once. What a car.

Hmmm, why won't my link to the Facebook picture work?

Oh well, screw it. There are pictures on my Facebook page if you want to see them.

Thereyago. : )

Cheers for that Mike. How did you do it?

Btw, the two shots taken indoors aren't the SUV, in case someone thought me taking it through the water had shrunk it! They are the Smart city car which was co-developed by Mercedes. The powers that be think everyone should be driving stuff like that. Those photos are to prove it ain't gonna happen in my case!

When you're posting, in the bar above the type field, there's buttons and one of them is an image button, where you just put in the URL of the picture and then hit ok.

That's EXACTLY what I did, but for me it didn't work.
