I thought that was an awesome episode of Top Gear, entertaining as always!
The automatic closing trunk freaked me out a bit tho...that thing could take your arm off!!

Fan Fare horns are great toy! Especially if a W109 W112 or W100 (600) has the air horn version running off the suspension air:

Loved the clips. For me it would be 600 any day but it would be neat to roll around in a roller from time to time.

I tried to watch them and got "This video has been removed due to terms of use violation" message.
Damn copyright police at it again!

sorry about the links going dead they have a tendency of doing that on youtube
thank you Q45denver for that vid from top gear's website. I don't care if people took more pics of the RR, the benz is by far the better car

Re the Grosser's horn--IIRC Road and Track in their test said that it sounded like a rhinoceros in labor and was the only thing they'd ever found that could actually scare a New York cabbie.
