im sorry

Nothing to be sorry for. It's a neat film clip. I have it saved on my computer. Over in Diesel Discussion there were some neat ads last spring for Mercedes. Two of the best are the three porcupines wearing gas masks and the cement mixer truck.

I agree, good comercial. The music isn't necessarily my style, but the film clips fit well. Glad it has been reposted because I couldn't save it on my work computer and couldn't watch it on dial up at home.

I have it now though .

Very cool. Thanks.
Even rap sounds good, when it's about a Benz.

Love how they used so many vintage models.

No need to be sorry. Just my way of disagreeing with you on the 'cool' factor.

yea.. i was like i think i saw that car fetured on mercedesshop.. yep .. so beautiful and rare.. if i had one i probably wouldnt even drive it.. maybe once .. to school .. with an armed guard to stand watch while in class

It's a real masterpiece.

I can't really say that anyone has come up with anything as beautiful,
in the 70 years since then.

I've read that the only car in the Museum of Modern Art, is the Jaguar XKE.
I think that was a fine choice... but that 540K deserves a spot too.

edited to say; They probably can't afford one.

Found this:
" Between 1936 and 1939, only 419 540K's were built by Mercedes-Benz in a variety of 10 different body styles.
Of the Special Roadster version, only 25 examples were built, and today only 10 models remain in the world."

Some of these have sold for over 3 million.





I'd be thrilled to even have a replica of that thing.
They are sometimes pretty expensive too.


Good eye Don.

thats the car ive always dreamed of having ever sicne i could rember.. 3 million.. wow if i had that money i would surely buy one if someone was willing to sell .. id be like jay leno buy old cars and restore them or buy cars like that..

I liked it. The music didn't seem to be strictly rap in the American sense. It was exponentially better than anything that clod-brained fellow Eminem has ever come out with. Just IMO, of course.
