Midnight Koop

Hey guys,

I just came back from a couple weeks in Italy and happened to snap a few photos of mercs while I was there. I'll also throw in a few interesting extras... but one of my favorites (Lotus Evora) I was too slow to get my camera out to catch.

enjoy!

































MERCEDES SHOP!









I honestly don't know how my gf put up with me... while she was pointing at the beautiful sculptures of Michelangelo and Donatello, I was like... "oh wow, is that a lotus evora?! or... check out how they misbranded the w204 wagon as a clk!" haha :P

samaritrey

that wagon is nice with the led marker lights

sweet pics, koop ! Love that C32 wagon..It's a wagon drool fest over there...


thanks for taking the time to post em up.

Sweet pictures Koop. All those cars look good.

Midnight Koop

yeah... it was wagon/hatch city

my initial instinct was that the newer OEM LED's wouldn't look good on our w203's... but after seeing that wagon i've changed my mind!

tommy

Nice pics! Abarth...

Midnight Koop

yes! too bad that one came out blurry... i would've taken more pics but i was already pushing the threshold of my lady

glocati

Agreed. Look pretty cool actually.....

I found a place like this when I was in Berlin once. But it was a restaurant/MBshop. You could eat in around where the cars where. I didn't have anything as I was with my younger cousin at the time, she isn't into cars.

We have 8 MB spots and 2 MB café in Italy.
Some more are going to open, as the business is very successful,
and prices quite tempting.....

very cool... has this come to the US, or is it just a euro thing?

it seems like maybe the dealership is the only MB spot around here

Love the C Coupe. Can't wait to see it here.

Europe is wonderful. We would never see this here in Perth, Australia. Even if you drive a w203 the majority of the population calls you a 'rich bugger'. Even thought a 2nd hand Mercedes costs as much as a new local Holden car. We are a long way from Mercedes cafès and Mercedes shops. We don't even have a Starbucks yet :-). But for what wr have lacking, we make up for it in nature and a lovely looking city.

Well, you can find the complete collection here:

and make your order by web....
prices are surprisingly honest, IMO.

Thanks very much. I got a great MB w203 1:87 diecast model from eBay, better than the price at the store and original.

anonymousmoose

I can relate :-) I visited Europe in 2009.

Next time, visit Monte Carlo, your jaw will drop if you like taking car photos. Even my wife, who is so not into cars, was amazed.

thanks for sharing! nice pics and Italy looks absolutely stunning

Midnight Koop

it was!

if you guys want... i could post some non-car pics... but i dont want to go too off topic

anonymousmoose

I'm interested :-) Let me find some EURO car pics for Monte Carlo and I'll post them.

anonymousmoose

I'm not much for taking photos so this is just a few of the cars we saw on the streets on Monte Carlo.

















Boats anyone?










Lovely city.


I also saw a VERON in Monte Carlo driving by. But I didn't have time getting the camera out before it was gone.
Later in Berlin, I got the opportunity to take a photo


I also liked the German Car trains. If you dont want to drive, hire a sleeper-cabin on the train and load your car on.

nice pics!

i think that's a C30 CDI AMG btw.

Thanks for adding the pics... some fantastic cars and boats.

I live near some high end dealerships and see a lot of those cars in passing... however i still wish i was quick enough to take a pic of that lotus evora...

you are correct sir

anthonyy

Man... a vacation to Italy sounds so good right now. Great pics!

Midnight Koop

thanks... it was a good break... too bad i didn't get a chance to check out the ferrari factory
