Supercar d’Elegance Polo day<br />
Sunday October 18 started off<br />
at Supercar d’Elegance hosted<br />
by Sam Movizio at Le Montage<br />
for Cars ‘n Coffee at 8.00 am.<br />
With a number of very cool cars<br />
turning up including several<br />
Mercedes-AMGs and an SLS, the<br />
event dispersed around 10.00am and<br />
the convoy to the Sydney Polo Club in<br />
Richmond commenced.<br />
A Supercar paddock had been set up<br />
for the fleet and it became quickly<br />
populated with Lamborghinis,<br />
Ferraris and Mercedes-Benz.<br />
Many corporate tents were setup and<br />
champagne was free- flowing.<br />
The standard of polo was at top<br />
international levels, with the horses<br />
there running the equivalent of three<br />
times the Melbourne Cup during<br />
the match, with the players highly<br />
skilled in game providing an exciting<br />
spectacle.<br />
Many brands were present including<br />
Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin<br />
sadly without Merceds-Benz though!<br />
The Supercat d’Elegance parade was<br />
a highlight after lunch, with about<br />
30 exotic vehicles parading around<br />
the field, much to the adoration of the<br />
crowd.A great day, not to be missed<br />
out on!<br />

MBCNSW presentation dinner<br />
A<br />
spooky Saturday October<br />
31st, saw a wonderful<br />
turnout of Mercedes-<br />
Benz Club members at Le<br />
Montage to celebrate Halloween, with<br />
pretty much everyone getting into the<br />
spirit of things (sorry for the pun)!<br />
Our president Vince Thompson<br />
was in great form as Count Dracula<br />
and hosted the evening as our<br />
accomplished Master of Ceremonies<br />
admirably.<br />
Of course, the main reason for being<br />
at the evening was for the Concours<br />
d’Elegance <strong>2015</strong> presentation<br />
awards, with superb dinner and great<br />
entertainment.<br />
Club social director Evian Delfabbro<br />
performed ‘meet and greet’ duties<br />
with everyone and this year we<br />
had the Marquee to the side of Le<br />
Montage, which proved to be great<br />
surroundings for this event.<br />
After starters, the first classes of<br />
Concours winners and runners up<br />
were announced in classes 1 to 17.<br />
A full list of winners and runnersup<br />
will be published in the next<br />
Star Torque magazine. Main course<br />
of Lamb or Chicken appeared and a<br />
festive, fun atmosphere was evident<br />
throughout the evening.<br />
After main course the remaining<br />
class prizes were announced and<br />
very handsome trophies were handed<br />
out to the lucky few. Vince had spent<br />
time raiding the Mercedes-Benz gift<br />
shop in Stuttgart again, so many<br />
Mercedes-Benz related raffle prizes<br />
were on offer and a trip for two to the<br />
Gold Coast was first prize.<br />
We look forward to sending trophies<br />
to winners unable to attend and thank<br />
all the members who did attend for<br />
making this a very special night.<br />
