Mercedes-Benz World

Not from the ashes, because they didn't disappear, they didn't go under, nothing negative happened in that way, but the product lineup is so strong just now.

Davide has actually managed to bring all his prowess, all his knowledge, technical ability, design ethos, cram it into what is out at the moment and is just about to launch this has been a huge year for them next year even bigger moved on so Neil Duckworth down at Duckworth Prestex his new showroom which everybody needs to go and check out it is lovely it feels so homely you go in he welcomes you when we walk through the door he was actually handwriting thank you cards for all the orders from people that placed the orders and there was hundreds of them so he really does put his nose to the grindstone then we went to see the folks at Studio Underdog that was down at the doghouse it still smelled of new paint that is how fresh this place is they're still doing it up they're still doing it room by room that was an experience then we went over we caught up with Christopher Ward that is literally half a mile down the road and we got to see behind the scenes of their new place the yard that they moved into just in the last couple of years had a quick chat with Mike France talked about this that and the other then it was on to the Brooklands Watch Company down at Brooklands Museum We couldn't film in Brooklands, so we actually went about, I don't know, 100 yards along the road, still within the confines of Brooklands itself and the original racetrack, to Mercedes World.

Yeah, they have got a long-standing relationship with Brooklands.

They won many world records there in the past.

I remember looking and seeing my dad's feet on the pedals and trying to see what he's doing.

And then at Mercedes World, they have a young driver's school.

And is this, do you think, where your love of the star came about? Well,

yes.

Quad tips, 6.3 as it was back in the day, flared.

Absolute beast of an engine, wasn't

it? And so, yeah, that's kind of, I used to go to Mercedes World top floor looking at the AMGs, but then had an opportunity to do a young driver's course where you kind of drive around kind of coned sort of road-like scenarios.

So I can't say that, kind of really influenced my drifting abilities.

At Ascot.
