Yep, a great vid. Notice the rollbar pop at 55 seconds in.

I drove the SLS a few years back at an AMG school event at road Atlanta. it was late in the day when I was taking some laps with the SLS and my partner riding in the passenger seat got sick. I pulled over quick so he could do his thing. I posted the story on the E55 forum and a bunch of guys said I must be a terrible driver if I made someone sick. I posted the Damon Hill vid and said "thanks guys, i am in good company then."
