VIP party for MB Canada Midtown grand opening...
Hey guys, I attended the grand opening VIP party for the new Midtown dealership in Toronto which happened last thursday(sorry for the lateness, busy at work). 800 guests were expected to show up and the party took place inside, duh!?, the dealership. The main showroom, service bay, and the smart car section was opened up and was filled with guests. Anyways sad to say the SL65 that was there 2 weeks ago wasn't at the show but! the SLR was there(a gentleman that i met so happends to own the SLR that was being shown). Enough talkin, here are the pics...
Since it was a party, i had to show up in my nice new car *wink*... http://www.mbnz.org/gallery/pics/825...04115136PM.jpg no...this is not my car...its the 57 parked inside the dedicated service bay for the maybach and the SLR...its because of the extended wheelbase and extra weight of the vehicle...the lifts come up from the ground...btw, a true playa like me only sits in a 62 hahaha!!! http://www.mbnz.org/gallery/pics/825...04115436PM.jpg here's me sittin inside a 62...I'm busy on the fone, shhhh!!! http://www.mbnz.org/gallery/pics/825...04115505PM.jpg picture showin the extended leg rest, which is not at full... http://www.mbnz.org/gallery/pics/825...04115601PM.jpg the DVD console... http://www.mbnz.org/gallery/pics/825...04115659PM.jpg gauges for the rear passengers... http://www.mbnz.org/gallery/pics/825...04115744PM.jpg notice the suede?!

By the end of the night, i had learnt a few interesting facts at the party...first, one of my good friend, one of the head of sales at MB Canada told me he has seen the 'pretty much' finalized version of the new ML(SWEET!!!), he also saw the upcoming designs of the new G...around 500 guest cars showed up to the party and it was a blast... |
oo nice pics. Did you get to sit in the SLR?
|
great pics, but are those the only pics u got of the SLR?
|
first off...
1. no, but i've sat in one in many occassions... 2. yes i do have more shots of the SLR but they came out very dark cuz i didn't have a good enuf flash and the car is black... |
Thanks for the pics mate, great job and looked like a great party!

Looks like you enjoyed you time their.... Maybe next time you really can come to the dealer with a maybach :mrgreen:
Thanks for the pix they look great.. |
:lol: - looking at just who and what rolls up to a MB party, (ie poseurs and wannabes) - no wonder MB doesn't make a stick shift hi-po car.
;) MB is clearly just for the "image conscious" and their wannabe hangers on.. :P I understand Leno wanting the SLR for what it represents - but other than that - MB seem to have lost touch with reality.and their cars clearly show it... ;) |
