AMG Test Drive on TV Special Tomorrow!!!

I am watching the SpeedChannel on Cable right now and noticed that tomorrow they will have a Special Program on AMG cars. Pro drivers, all models. Should be good. It will be at 2PM EST.

It's a rerun - but a good one. Was on about two weeks ago. Could have been better...but if you're a fan, watch it!

LOL, everyone is watching the Barrett-Jackson.

I just saw a 1970 Chevelle convertible (LS6) go for $1,150,000.00

Looking forward to the AMG show...

Just a quick correction, Alex: that was a CLK DTM - not a CLK GTR.

I saved it on Tivo a couple weeks ago. Seen it a few times now....just one mistake as far a I could tell:

When Tommy Kendall is driving the SLK55 F1 Safety Car, he described a performance package that includes raising the speed limiter on the SLK55 to 186mph. The corrected figure should be 176mph. The 186mph figure is for the SL55 and CLS55 with the 030 package.

I really liked the footage of the old CLK GTR and W208 DTM cars.

It is great fun. I could not get my dvd burner to work so a friend is duping it for me.

I loved the older CLK DTM stuff too. It makes me want to buy a CLK55 with realy high miles and gut it and make a pure track car out of it.

In this show, Tommy Kendall got a ride in "The Taxi" (the DTM race car driven by Klaus Ludwig).

Just wondering.....how does one get invited (or pay for?) to become a passenger in The Taxi?

You can get a ride in the "Ring Taxi" at the Nurburgring. A BMW M5.

I drove an Audi S3 for 2 laps!!!!!!!!!:-)) THE BEST!!!!

And sounded so sweet, also. I thought it sounded like Richard Petty at Talledega ! You gotta love the roar of the naturally aspirated V8 !

I just watched it off Tivo as well. While the show didn't really have that much information in it that most of us on this board didn't already know it was sweet to watch. Just seeing professional footage of all those cars makes me drool.

Alright boys and girls I looked up the time for anyone who missed it. It will re-air on Friday Feb. 3rd at 9pm CT on Speed channel. This is a week out, so hopefully we can tell all our friends so nobody misses it.
