Not diesel related, but its still a MB video! and a SWEET one

Check out this 10 minute video about the $340,000 Mercedes SLR Mclaren

Its got tons of footage, tests, and info about it. Pretty awesome. Made by the same guy/show that did the pickup truck destruction, and so on.... "Top Gear"

Wow is that car incredible. 630 hp!!

Link to my server:

Right click this link and do "save as" to download. (warning to those using historic dialup , its 50 megs)

Enjoy!

Anyone else watched it? If you haven't your missing out! My server is pumping out the data currently....our outbound connection limit of about 43k seems to be pretty much tied up.... between however many people are getting this video, and the 8k seed limit for the big MB dvd I have going.......

You know you can get an SLR now for around sticker for under $350k, I've heard of a few going for as low as $318k.

Sounds like a good deal....

I could buy up every beautiful W126 I could find with that much money, and build a $75,000 heated storage/repair facility for myself.... (I'd rather do that anyways )
