I heard that both the SLRs broke down due to alternator problems. And it was the most unreliable car of the this years gumball. Oh well MB still kick *** in style. Oh I also heard that there was a big Lambo crash in the Thailand leg from my F-car club buddies in Bangkok.

Yeah, but McLaren flew in mechanics with replacement parts and while at it also checked the other SLRs that were in the race.

Now that is old-school-style service.

Rob,
.
well, only from vegas thru death valley...... on my yamaha fjr 1300 motorcycle... then thru Panamint valley on to Palm Desert for bike storage and a hot tub..
.
i did see you guys though, several times....
.
i was following the lead bentley, ford gt and ferrari F50 for 50 miles at least, until i got bored cause the F 50 was so loud and i didn't want to run that particular bike (sport tourer) over 130.. (wind buffeting) .. so i stopped for gas, as i was going into death valley and wanted to run with some other cars..
.
The lead cars would get ahead of head of me but i would catch them in traffic and in towns.. (good acceleration!! especially for fast passing)
.
next time i will bring a faster bike..
.
and next time after that, a fast car..
.
lots of expensive speeding tickets but none for me .. yahoo..
.
it was a blast, you should try it on a motorcycle..
.
i have learned that it's the journey not the destination,.. so i stopped numerous times to take pictures and enjoy life and the scenery..
.
what a blast..
.
JR
