Rocket Ronnie does a donut

New Fifth Gear started last night on TV here in the UK.

They had Ronnie O Sullivan (Snooker Champ) choosing a new car, seems he went for the M3!!!

Anyway he did like the C63 and here he is doing the donuts, sounds pretty awesome too......

You have a C63 on order? Did you go for the performance package upgrade? Will it include everything (steering wheel, brakes, suspension, etc)? Some people on this blog are saying if you order your AMG now it won't have the
P30 performance package until December!! that can't be right.

Replied....


Hi, sorry no I didn't order the P30 or any performance package with mine. However in the UK you can order the car with a limited slip diff as a standalone option. Which I have done. I also ordered with the multispoke alloys.

I,m collecting mine from Stuttgart next week... and I have sorted out a factory tour at Affalterbach...... Can't wait next Friday.

Mark

Cheers
Mark
