Mannn.....that was like watching ****!!!!

I am always the one driving so never see her cruising around. WOW.....just so beautiful...and STILL classy even though she was put out in 03 and designed in 02.

Great show.....a must see for any AMG fan.

Course I am a little biased as that was my exact same car they featured....wheels etc.

Going back to watch the SL's now.

This is great....way to go Benz!! Got a clue from all the Bimmers shows they have been showing over past 6 months.

(sorry, in case you are lost...AMG special on TV)

I really have to say though .. it was nice but more like a commercial .. how could you have those legendary drivers and not run some hot laps in these cars! I wanted them to run that SL65 on the track and really get into performance! They are beautiful and fun to watch, but they really should have stopped the pacing and let those drivers show what these cars can do.

IMO ..

How bout that 6.3 though .. torque numbers are interesting .. I will bet a TT comes along in 08! I'll bet they're waiting to retool the V12 first .. if you TT the new V8 and it matches the TTV12 they'll hurt themselves.

Of course I'm just a novice compared to most of you on this board!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

can drive 55 proves that you can't keep a good man down!

Race Announcer One: ClayJ has noticed the grim determination in can drive 55 - who just pissed on 131 posts in just the last 17 minutes of this race folks - and I think he's realized that he is going to have to step up to the plate in this last 70-odd laps of the race despite the fact that he's limping along on two rear flats.

Race Announcer Two: You know, Biff, I think there's smoke coming out of ClayJ's two ears as well as his two rears!

Race Announcer One: Well it's obvious just looking at his pace that this is going to be a long finish to this race for him-

Race Announcer Two (interrupting): You know, Biff, I think there's smoke coming out of ClayJ's two ears as well as his two rears!

Race Announcer One: You just said that 10 seconds ago!

Race Announcer Two: Well it seems to be working for can drive 55!

LOL You're an animal!

Race Announcer Two: Who is that coming around turn 3? Well, it looks like can drive 55 is back in the race. Things must be slow at work. Get after that new guy. One grand is just ahead.

Race Announcer One: But 50 laps are a lot to make up. Can he do it? He may need a little help from Ricky. After all, they are both Texans.

I was a little disappointed. I was watching the show to see the cars...not the ponderous interviews with great european drivers struggling with their English.

I didn't see one camera pan of the georgous interiors.

It was OK, but it left me wanting to see more of the cars, not the drivers.

NOOO! I totally missed this! I'm in Morocco and there is no such thing as American TV here although every single household has a satellite dish. It is quite strange. What channel was this on?

Just wanted to give out a public THANK YOU to Jim AKA JakPro1.

He was kind enough to burn me a DVD and ship it next day air. He wouldnt even take any money for the shipping.

Thanks Jim! I really appreciate it and can't wait to see it tonight!!
