Prefer the raw sound on the GT in the background! No car on earth can beat it on pure driving noise. Its hard not to smile even when watching videos of it on Youtube.

There are a few GT3 RS's in Bristol, well 2. Few weeks ago, saw a CLK AMG DMT cabrio here in black, and a blue Phantom Drophead with the number plate DB1 parked a few roads my my flat ... so so so much money!! I want in on it

EDIT ... crazy driving here in a GT!!! Bit tarded since its on the public road, but a good watch.

Got a chance to get my car to the car wash this morning. Bit streaky with wax marks, but I can't be bothered to wipe them off, so here you go. You can tell I took these and not my friend who took the pictures of my cl. As I said before, it is a much faster feeling car compared to the cl, but I've had both at the drag strip and got pretty much the same times.
I'm thinking about getting the ecu remapped my dms automotive to get it up to 562bhp and 700nm torque. But with winter on the way I don't think there is really much point at the moment.
The other nice thing is that I also have bragging rights over the m5 which all the magazines say is the fastest estate car in the world. I can tell you for certain that it isn't! The mags say that the beemer is quicker, but the figures prove it isn't, plus I've also raced one (a saloon, not the estate)and beat him by a couple of car lengths over the quarter mile, he was most upset

I've also posted a couple of photo's of my wifes Lexus, it's pretty nice, all it needs is an engine instead of the vacume cleaner motor it has now

P.s
I'm also in negotations with a dealer about getting a maserati quatroport, but it will probably have to wait till next spring so I can give it a good spanking

I've always loved maserati's, its the car that made petrol head. When I was at primary school about 5 yrs old (mid 70's) some kid with a rich grandad got picked up in a maserati bora. I just stood there with my jaw on the floor staring at it for 20 mins. My dad had a vauxhall viva at the time, so this thing looked like it had come from space! I always vowed that when I grew up, if I had the money, I would have a mazzer, so fingers crossed we can come to a deal. It's not as quick as my amg, but sounds like a full on acdc concert.
So heres the pics as promised.
Click on each thumb for the big version.

Edit: I've just uploaded a quick video of it starting up so you guys can hear the beast.
Sorry for the crap qualit, I just did it on my compact camera.
The youtube link is here.

I think its time to start selling crack to kids or something equally profitable

That is horrible.

budvarholsten · 12-20-2007, 12:18 PM

In what way?

[R-MOD]KP · 12-20-2007, 12:26 PM

It's a Mercedes estate. In itself a fairly sensible, good looking car. But you've ruined it with horrible interior and rims that do not fit the car at all, not to mention the essential wrongness in trying to make a "performance estate". An attempt to make a sensible car a sporty car is never any good, and that goes for this case as well. An estate car with that knob on the steering wheel so you can flick it around tight corners? It's an estate, you don't do that sort of thing. Oh, and is that an auto box on it? In a performance car? What for? If you want a sensible car, buy an estate. If you want to make a performance car, use something that is smaller and lighter and use a manual box so you do it properly, instead of something this half-arsed. This shouts a) idiot, b) drug dealer and/or c) utterly, utterly tasteless.

(Just my opinion, of course

)

Lothrian · 12-20-2007, 12:27 PM

That is ... making me yet more envious! I seriously need to start selling crack to kids or something so I can get one.

I still say the only other super estate that I prefer will be the "08 RS6 Advant, purely for the turbo'd gallardo engine.
