Kickdown is for "S" mode..... I use "M"

Although it can be a b#tch to up-shift in time before hitting the redline if you're not paying full attention to the RPM's.

1st is somewhat violent.

Haha.

There's actually not many CLK63 videos out there.

I spent ages looking when I was waiting for mine to be delivered to me.

See.... exclusive.

They are unable to reserve cars without taking payment.

I was alittle annoyed at the tone of the girls voice and was annoyed that she wasn't willing to help in any way given the exceptional circumstances of your visit.

She said that their lines are open between 10am and 6pm and that people should be able to get through to them easily.

You'll have to keep trying and ring them between their opening hours.

Sorry I can't be of anymore help.

Thanks for checking Rash!
I'll try calling them tomorrow. As Kev asked what prefix do I need to dial before the number?
It doesn't matter if we don't get any cars, I want to visit the museum and for the sightseeing in London

That's what I've been using, maybe I'm calling outside of the operating hours. Anyways, I'll try again tomorrow. Maybe I'll bring my new helmet along and get some pics of it sitting on top of the MB World UK SLS

Great to hear from you.

Glad to hear all is good for sunday!

I'm looking forward to meeting you guys and enjoying the day with you and a few of the guys over here.

Good to hear that you will come equiped with a suitable memory stick... Brooklands has many visual delights.

Keep my calipers clean?.... lol, cheeky bugger... they're always clean!

Unless, of course...... it rains on the way down to Brooklands! Ooer

In which case, I may have to drive sideways, to allow the rain to rinse them.


LOL!!!


See you on sunday and ring me if you need to.
