Had the best few days of my life, am at Munich airport right now but this is what I have been doing last 3 days on a Mercedes Benz privately owned off road test track in the alps in Graz, Austria.

Taking off will post more later never thought driving could have the balls in the mouth but off roaring In a Mercedes Benz G class at speeds over 120km with snow on one side and nothing on the other and little visibility ...

 

Feels blessed

 

Thanks to Mercedes India

Just landed, will post more tomm but there were times when the Mercedes test drivers were doing about 120 with a gradient of almost 64 degrees , times when they had patches where they go high up at full speed and let the car spring in air ...

 

And later we went to their private test track which includes long straights and curves in Tarmac and that bloody two tonne G wagen can take turns at speeds exceeding 155 (G63 AMG)

 

Now time to get one here and drive over anything

Here are two more to give you better idea on the terrains and how different the entire mountain itself was considering dry at lower half and snow all around as we went higher to the point of little visibility

No sir

 

Am just an average Indian guy struggling to meet ends :)

 

How's your car Doing?

 

 

 

That was a reference to the "run over anything" line ;)

 

 

It's not here yet, it's in production in Germany (since it's a custom order) and should get here in 2 months. The wait is killing me and I'm trying to decide between a vanity plate and a random number for the vehicle right now.

Ok if wife backs out you are coming, these events are fully paid for by Mercedes India and they do it in style. Amazing Hotels, Fly Business Class ONLY, Amazing Taxis at arrivals, and the works.

 

Will email you some pictures were are moving homes right now so garage has been quite pathetic but do PM me your email will show you what little is left, but our house gets ready hopefully by diwali and i can roll again

 

But no more invites for the event TAZ is in.

 

Also will post all G class pics soon, the event itself was mad, best is only prospective buyers and no press etc. so was amazing to meet like minded Mercedes Fanatics,
