G-Wagon 40th Anniversary at Mercedes Brooklands
Calling all G wagon owners new and old.
Calling all G’s allover including Ireland, isle of man, UK And Europe meet to celebrate 40 Years of our G beloved G’s at Mercedes Brooklands for a big gathering this Summer.
I am speaking to Mercedes Brooklands about the event, i need solid numbers as i want to invite a certain Mercedes magazine crew to accomodate us on photos and writeups
Date will be confirmed once we have enough attending etc.
Lets get GWOA on the map again guys
Can we start a list on who will be attending
1. Gooch
2.
3.
Do you know when this would take place
Well done gooch for getting this started!
Count me in - 300GES.
Count us in please.
Gooch - are you going to limit this to GWOA members? I have seen a couple of G Wagens round and about. If I come across the drivers again I could let them know about this. Of course it would probably be best to do that once you have a date set.
I get on quite well with the service manager at my local MB dealership. Once we know the details I could ask if he would let any G owners on their books know about it too.
Yes please! Great venue for all ages (Brooklands Museum next door etc)
If it's of interest, I might be able to get a battered old Unimog along too?

at this rate we wont achieve much,
Don't get too despondent about lack of numbers just yet. It's only been a day and a half.
you can count me in, but date is important.
When I get my freakin G230 back, I'll be there JDRING
Maybe 'next week'. New water pump, possibly. Otherwise what could be preventing water circulation (thermostat removed)
As long as the dates dont clash its a yes
Hello,
Once I know the date I'm in!!!
Great
Sounds like a good idea. Would depend on the date of course.
Put me on the list please!

You are a brave guy Gooch - Good Luck.
May I suggest trying to invite the Pinzgauer Club and they chip into the event as well. This could also bloster the number of attendants too.
I would like to be there and looking into how to make it happen. I will forward you with some of my own ideas and if I can assist you in any research or any thing of this nature, I am willing to help if at all possible.
Hi Gooch,
A thought - not sure how far along you are with your discussions with the people at Brooklands but have you thought of signing up all those attending for a go on their 4x4 course?
I'm sure it would encourage more owners to come along.
Maybe they would give us a group or club discount and maybe the GWOA could pay? There is lots of money sitting in the club's bank account.
Best

I would love someone senior to step in to maybe get at least drinks going for people
On day?

Or one expensive Bratwurst - have you the Brookland's returant price list?
Subject to dates - I would like to join the list.
Just out of interest who is running the GWOA now and has control of the Limited company and its assets. Please show yourself.
I'd love to come along but sadly my G Wagon will be a long way off being on the road. Date is important as we are on holiday in June. Anyone in the Bristol area or passing enroute fancy a passenger happy to give a contribution towards fuel. It'd be nice to travel to the event in a G, I've only driven mine a few yards round a yard so far.
Here are the latest picures of mine at Enviro Strip in Tamworth taken this week.
Hi count me in,let me have details as soon as available,regards Peter
I'd be very keen to come along, but to echo everyone else - date is important...
Cheers

As much as I would dearly like to be in attendance and after careful thought I have decided it would not be prudent for me not to come.
Logistically; on grounds of my mobility and other issues, I am too much of a liability to myself to take on such an outting. To the rest of you enjoy your day and please post photos, photos and more photos to encompass the atmosphere of the event.
Cheers,
Yes- either date is good for me.
Well done gooch for persevering.
nice one for keeping onto them. I can make 22nd, but not the 15th.
Cheers
Hagar
I'm in. Either date with 2 people. Have to leave early if the 22nd.
15th works but not 22nd
Fantastic job on getting this far! My apologies for not standing up sooner, but was waiting for potential dates, although always suspected to be difficult as every weekend already booked, as is unfortunately the case. Also thought initially it was planned for later in the year, so to see June dates has somewhat surprised me.Hopefully still get a good turnout and interested to see plan of day.
Good luck with the event, unfortunately my truck is in the bodyshop having a full and proper body refurb, so no chance of having her back in time !
Hi mate, possibly June/July thanks
* If we get good numbers that is ...
