300SD 120MPH Fly-By Video:

Not sure how my day will pan out, but I have my camera and tripod setup in the car, just in case. I plan on shooting a 120MPH video of the W116 on a stretch of deserted road out here in the desert. The video will include a flyby and instrument cluster shots too.

Stay tuned!!!!

I have a video in my phone of a recent 120 mph excursion, but since I cut back our plan to save $$$$, I can't upload/download images.

I have a 105 mph video already on You Tube, but the car really just starts coming on at 105....

LOL!!!!

Ok, shot some video today, but the only course where I can attain such speed was plagued by a strong headwind, maybe 25-30mph. Any of you who live in the High Desert can attest that the wind never stops blowing.

I was able to pull off a couple of 110MPH passes, but this was on a slight incline and against a headwind, so 120 just wasn't in the cards today. My previous 120 mph top speed runs have all been on the freeway where it is dead-flat, so this short video will have to do.

I will post it to You Tube once I get done putting all the clips together...
