Something Stupid...

Hello you

I saw something really stupid today. I was cruising in the town, and I saw a SOOOO BEAUTIFUL black '04 CL600 taht i stopped.
AMG bodykit, Brabus wheels, full white brabus leather interior... And the badge at the back of the car was : CL 3000...
I wanted to say to the owner that it was really a pity to see that (except if the engine is really a 30.0 liters but... that would be impossible)

Didn't took any pictures, beacuse I didin't have my digital camera

The infamous Kimble is the one who drove the CL3000 in this years gumball.

Go to his website and click on Kims pictures and Gumball 3000 and you'll see it there.

yup, that's Kimble

He is from Belgium so it must have been him. Don't know how he drove that thing as fast as he did on the Gumball but he swore it was stock.
