I just drove an SLR McLaren + video

That's me behind the wheel

Sorry for the Dutch talk in the video, but the sound of the SLR makes up for that

I want that car real bad

Hehe, yeah. It was pretty cool to drive the SLR.

We reviewed the CL65 AMG too the other day. Same leage, but a whole different ballpark.

And the CLS63 AMG amongst others.

the mclaren vid doesnt impress me, i ALWAYS knew that was a great car. MAN that M3 video is crazy though. you wouldnt need a sound system, you could just listen to that engine all day. just out of curiousity, are you American? It sounds to me like you would speak english very well

I loved the M3 video and the SLR video, you should definetly sub title the SLR Video. I do like the AMG sound better than the M3 though. Although I'm bias.

Good stuff!

Yeah, subtitles might be nice, or an English layover/transalation. Just don't cover up those engine sounds!

Hehe, thanks for the compliment. We learn English over here out of necessity since Dutch generally won't get you anywhere in this world.

Your written English is great Sprins

The reviews look great, I love that you guys show off a lot of the exhaust note goodness these vehicles have

Can't wait for more subtitles.

Thanks guys.

Here is a subtitled M6 convertable video my collegue made.

And here is one in Dutch for the sound lovers of an Aston Martin V8 Vantage roadster. The conclusion is simple: a cool and beautiful car.

Yeah, we always review convertables at the end of summer

Amazing sound. I see before me how women cover their childrens ears when that car comes barelling towards them in full tilt. Words cannot describe how that car sound: the exhaust, the supercharger whine sprinkled over that glorious V8. Amazing. Mercedes should sell that on CDs.
