Thumbs up Old Benz and Fifth Gear

Wow - simply amazing!

I began to shudder when she did the bit with the baseball bat - then it kept getting worse (more abusive).

That car was worth MUCH more than "695 quid" which I think is less than $1400 - don't know the exchange rate now, but a pound sterling in 1977 was worth about $1.75 USD.

Great Post!
