Cool Jabal Jais Mountain Drive in my E55 S210

Got the car serviced (all oils changed, air filter, oil filter, etc.) and joined a group of friends driving up Jabal Jais, a mountain here in the United Arab Emirates.

Some photos (untouched by Lightroom):





A video I made of the drive up, using an action cam called Xiaomi Yi which costs less than half of the cheapest GoPro, mounted to my bonnet using a bicycle mount (around the logo). I split it into 4 chunks for your viewing pleasure. No music, no soundtrack and all that BS. I wanted to capture the engine sound but unless I edit out the wind noise, I can't get it.

A friend with a W211 320 met me at the top (can be seen in the last video).

Feedback welcome since this is my first road trip in the car since I bought it and my first, proper action camera video.
