Hi @chicky

Its not Kuwait, I made the video about the museum in the UAE. That 500E has only 447km on the odometer and still on the factory tires.

Hello 195910

I am sorry for the mistake

I did notice also, the 500E in the video but decided not to mention it on my post above

I am planning a trip to Germany this August, I am planning to make a 3 day stopover at Dubai on the flight back ... hopefully visit some MB dealerships (with huge MB Boutique shops and even MB tuning firms) and even the above mentioned Museum

You can see more on our instagram too, we were invited to the opening of the new Mercedes brand center and we had coffee at the AMG Kaffeehaus surrounded by G63s and SL63s.
You will need more than 3 days. This place is packed !

Hello 195910

Thank you for the suggestions of places to visit ... ok then maybe a week of "lay-over" before flying back to Manila

Hello again 195910

I am ashamed to say that I don't have any social media account ... so may I humbly ask you for a favor, if you could suggest to me some MB themed places of interest in the UAE that I may visit?

Thank you in advance

The Miami Vice / W126 presence is strong in this video.

Hi Chicky. No problem, I will send you a message.

Thank you 195910 ... I'll wait for it.

If I may share my plan for Germany ... I want to attend the Schone Sterne 2024 in Hattingen and also visit the MB Classic/Heritage Center at Fellbach. As for UAE, definitely no Ferrari World ROFLMAO:), all MB related stores/dealerships/museum/etc ... as per your suggestions.

Regards

Loved the video, thanks for posting. When I was young, I had the opportunity to visit what was then known as "The Rainbow Shaikh's collection"

Chicky, don't be picky!
Enjoy the UAE, plenty of things to do and the weather is to die for!

Safe travels buddy.

"Chicky, don't be picky!
Enjoy the UAE, plenty of things to do and the weather is to die for!" ... I promise not to be picky ... I'm even thinking of going around recycling/junk shops to search for parts for my R129066 ... like a used engine transmission from a R129066 500SL 6.0 ... seriously thou, my Manila based MB parts guy still have a lot of friends working for MB dealerships there in the UAE (note he even used to work for a dealership in Bahrain), I plan to visit these guys and ask around for NLA parts ... worst case if no NLA parts then just visiting them and touching base would be fine by me.
