Sweet! Their site doesn't say much except "AMG Models" .. but should be awesome.

Does anyone know if this is available in the UK, on Sky perhaps? I have looked, but it doesn't appear to be.

thanks

On the promo it showed 2 SL65's Going at it on a road coarse.

On past shows they would take 2 cars of a model like the new Dodge Charger
and put them up against each other on a oval, road, and drag strip.

Lately -- they got bought-out or sold, I think it was last year, and now it's Nascar 'cause they figure that's where the audience and the advertising dollars are....
Used to be a LOT better channel...but you take what you can get, right guys?
Welcome to the dumbing-down of America: Chic*****, Kid$****, Dumb***** -- 'cause that's who they can sell to with TV ads.....

Go to www.speedtv.com and look at the other times for January under programming. It comes on about 5 more times.

It comes on again, but I wonder if its repeats or a series? I think its repeats because it doesn't say "new" next to the rest of them.

Anyway, I'm recording it to DVD and then will rip it on my PC and finance my next MB purchase by selling it to you guys for $5 per download j/k .. I'll put up a link to it once I'm done.

It was fun.... Wasn't as good as it could have been -- but that's TV in a nutshell.

If anyone recorded it to TIVO and is willing to put it on VHS or DVD, I'm happy to pay for the costs to get a copy and I will encode it and put it up on a server for MBWorld users to leech.

No longer car shopping...
Just a word of caution for you guys - Don't discuss prirating stuff on a public forum. It could come back to haunt you in the future. If you are interested in these types of activities, it would be best executed via PM.


I'm not a MBWorld mod but I do play one on other sites...
