I'll loan you mine when that SOB MedMech returns from Germany. He borrowed mine to drive the autobahn. I had it outfitted with a console beer cooler and bobblehead in the rear glass. Oh yeah, and the horn plays "La Cucaracha".

Anybody see the episode of "Driving with ________" (ex-auto writer) where they toured the AMG factory? Good episode - had a track day with the current AMG fleet. Some old race footage of the 7.2 ltr AMG 109 in there as well.

Can't recall name of the show for the life of me...

Driving with....Tiff? I have seen some of his stuff when he drives the McLaren F1 when he was hosting Top Gear.

Is Discovery running all of the current Top Gear episodes? I have a downloaded collection of all that I can find on the net. Anyone see the episode when they drive an unmanned Citroen CV2 behind a 747...

I know where to get you one Test drove one this weekend, a Speed Yellow with 3K on the clock. Dealer asking $99K for it. The bone-jarring ride is too uncomfortable for me. No wonder the previous owner traded it back in for a C4S instead.

If I had the money I'd deal with the ride. Does it have adjustable suspension settings?
