A small, but select crowd gathered at Schloss Dyck for a Pagoda SL Group gathering. For some photographs see this link:
Google Photo's.
More photos to come when resident photographer Martijn has processed his. In attendance were
114015 from Germany,
Jonny B from the US,
Paladin and Dolly from the UK,
Brian in NL but who's originally from the US, and
Martijn,
JJD and Lia and
Peter and Karin from the Netherlands.
On Saturday it rained until about 13:00 and after that cleared up. Luckily we had a BBQ and enough food and drink to keep us busy...
The Classic Days event is awesome, and is also known as the German Goodwood Revival. Great selection of cars, no real racing but a demonstration track where classic cars, old motorbikes, flocks of Bentley's, Group B rally cars, Classic formula Ford and Volkswagen racers could be enjoyed. The beautiful cars in the Legends collection were being judged, and the parking place is a huge carfest with clubs gathering together.
JJD organised a tent and a picnic area for us in the middle of the track, close to all the action. The tent was very useful with the rain that we had. JJD had organised large pictures of the Merano event, the last PUB, and the factory assembly line. He had them printed on PVC, which looked really good and professional. He sold the assembly line picture to a Mercedes 600 owner (it is on the assembly line next to our W113's), and Jonny B is looking into shipping the photographs to Virginia to be used at the PUB Virginia.
Again, it goes to show our group is alive and doing well. If we do this again, now we know much better what to expect and we could try to advertise it a little bit bigger on the forum to get people to join!
