Thanks for the post - Tommy Kendall is the host! Last time I saw him, he was in the driver's seat of an SLR ... and I was the passenger! Can't wait!

I believe that would be JakPro1. Maybe we could get a group buy going and let him make a little cash.

"Excuses...we don't need no stinking excuses!" LOL

"One of the most important things that a man has to learn - and one thing that every man who is a man has learned - is that one must take care of the important things first. Everything else can wait."

Sixth gear, 8600rpm...moovin'!

(and don't forget - a true bro always takes his friends with him in his success)

[I think that's 990 - 10 laps to go!]

I don't believe this I do a little work, drive home, and you have the checkered flag in sight. Well, it could not have happened to a better guy. Now quit dilly dalleying around and floor it. The finish line is in sight. I am peddling as fast as I can

Be Honest Now !

Honestly, wasn't that orange CLK63 the star of the show last night ? Did you hear that engine ? It almost sounded like the "race prepared" version of the SLK55 at the start of the program. Can anybody copy the engine sound for a clip on here, so everyone can hear that high rever ?

It was really a special show, the cars were really cool, although they could have been drive'n a bit faster from what everyone is claiming, but when Claus hit 300k that was pretty cool!
