Great show, it was nice to see our CLS fly around the track. I enjoyed seeing the AMG factory, something we weren't able to do while in Germany.

I got a chance to check out the factory and it was a really nice experience. Last time I watched this video was when it first came out. Watching it again earlier today made some good memories come back.

Was it the MBZ factory in Sindlefingen or the AMG factory?
I was amazed at the size of the MBZ factory, we toured the S class building in May.

Just the AMG factory. Maybe next time I'll check out the MBZ factory.

However, I was only shown the 2nd floor where the V12's and SLR engines were being made. Nonetheless, it was a nice experience.

Very cool, I bet that was neat to see. What was intersting to me was when we were at the main MBZ factory, there was nothing advertising AMG what so ever. Even in the gift shop, you couldn't even find a AMG hat. It's really 2 separate companies.
