Directv is playing a full hour on AMG right now. I just stumbled upon it now. It's amazaing. They will probably replay itagain if you miss it. It's a great show. It's called AMG TEST DRIVE.

im pretty sure this is a rerun unless it featured new 63's and what not the show is nothing new and could probbobly be found for download as a torrent file. Copy's of this were handed out in gift bags at AMG Fest 2006. Deff a cool show but no worries, it'll be on again.

I saw this yesterday and I couldn't move from the TV for the entire show. Although it was pretty obvious that it was just a very cheesy sales pitch i didn't mind it at all. The best was the SL65 and the 2 SL55s drifting around the track a few feet apart.

Don't get too excited guys, it was a re-run! I saw the original episode 3-4 months ago. SpeedTV probably shows it once a month or so, so just keep checking and I am pretty sure that they will air it again. They also have a similar show for the BMW M-cars (saw that one too) and if I am not mistaken one for Lexus (all presented by Tommy Kendal). I am not completely sure for the latter one I saw the end of a show and it was Tommy Kendal driving a Lexus and I assumed that he might had done a similar show for Lexus too.

Guy was badass with Ford in the Trans-Am circuit until a contract dispute. Then commentated for CART. Really great driver and commentator. I followed CART until all the good drivers moved to IRL and CART was left with new comers and FORD.
