There was a great thread on one of our members who bought Michael Cain's MB...
I searched but could not find it.
Lots of great pics...and a great story!

Stumbled on this (if its true) during my daily scouring of Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1866682942

"This car war originally owned by the ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov! Maintaince book has his name in it..."



EDITORIAL NOTE: the author of this post does not endorse ballet dancing of any kind.

Don Imus is always bad mouthing his S500 (but continues to drive it). When Bo Dietl is on his show, he'll mentions his S600 too...

Imus will always make these disparaging remarks about the companies that make his "toys" - whether it's his home computer, his Tivo or his S500. i don't remember most of his diatribe on his car but it was more a lament on the fact that MB offered him the S500 as the top of the line only to come out with the S600, and then he just heaps it on in typical fashion ...
