SLR writeup in Automobile

I just picked up copy of Automobile and they had an awsome write up of the SLR roadtest in Africa. Sweet pictures too...I'll see if I have time to scan it in.

I will. My scanner actually just crapped out a few hours ago when I was trying to scan it, so I had to go out and buy a new one.

Prolly be up later tonight

EDIT: Alright, scanning these pages in is turning out to be a biatch...and the file are hugh. So, I'll see if I can find the article online. I prolly need some scanning basics on how to reduce size while still being legible. Anywho, here's the page with all the pics from the article:

Thanks for the link!!!The SLR is an awesome car and I think any negativity from reviewers(especially from the U.K) stems from the fact that they find it hard to believe that MB can actually make a true sports car-I heard the SLR has the same lap times as the Porsche Carrera GT on the Nurburgring in the dry but completely demolishes it in the wet!
