The 2012 German Car Day is on this year, taking it out of the
traditional middle of winter date for the first year. The Mercedes-Benz
Car Club has hosted this event for over a decade. It has seen strong
turnouts of Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, BMW, Audi and Volkswagen cars, as
well as examples of Borgward, NSU, Opel and even Messerschmitt – and
German made models such as the Ford Focus XR5. The event has previously
been held in York and Northam, but starting this year we’re making it a
moving feast, with a different destination each year.
The event
begins with meeting at the car park corner of Plain Street and Nelson
Crescent in Perth, near the WACA at 9.30am, and from there a drive will
set off to our secret destination. The convoy should reach the
destination in about an hour and a half. There, cars will be parked by
marque and on public display. There are plenty of places to eat nearby,
or you’re welcome to bring a picnic lunch. And no, the destination will
not be divulged until the day…
The cost is just $10 per car -
regardless of how many people are on board - which includes a raffle
ticket with some excellent prizes. Part proceeds will go to CanTeen.
You
don’t have to be a club member to participate. And you don’t need a
show-car, all German cars are welcome. Spread the word – the more the
merrier...
When: Sunday, September 23
Where: Car park corner of Plain Street and Nelson Crescent in Perth, near the WACA - drive to secret destination
