IMO, the car looks like a Camry, but only with the side markers integrated into the headlights. The European version doesn't looks so cheaply build. Maybe MBZ should've kept the markers in the bumber, just like they did on the S.


Here's the Peugeot ad I was writing about earlier:
It's sooo goooooooood!

Just wait till you see it in person like I did. Look at it from the front. Have a look at the way the hood line runs down towards the front grill just like a Volvo. It does look better in person.

I would have thought the thread titled "East Coast AMGfest 2006 Registration Open...Aug 26 and 27" that was started months ago and got over 200 posts before the event would have given you some idea... sux cus'a the rain there was light turn-out and it would have been great to have you.

I had my wife dig out the extra battery from her bag under duress that I knew had about a 1/2 a charge (we just got back from Hungary last week). Sure enough I left if home! However, it wouldn't have done me much good. We're not allowed to tak pix when out on the course doing cone duty, and since there wer so few people, we had double duty so I had no breaks to eat or take pix of other cars going around the course.

I'm glad you were there Dave, so a) there's proof, b) I knew how I stacked up since I didn't know anyone else's time, c) I felt a little love from the MB krew.

Carl, I saw you sitting in your cozy dry warm car for a few minutes while I was standing out in the insane rain picking up any cones that got run over (very few did). I waved as I was walking to my car when you were coming around leaving as I was coming back to do my 2nd passes; you missed some serious beatage on the C43.

LOL! You got me there!Yea I was being a wuss! But you were'nt gonna find me standing in that crap! LOL!

Steve I gotta hand it to you.Your car is impressive to say the least. Especially the comments by Dave pertaining to your car. Good job!

I'd like to do the suspension but I wouldnt be able to handle the wait.

I'm gonna have to bring my Eagle Talon down so I can enjoy the autocross as well.For some reason I don't think my C43 would do to bad but certainly not as well as you.Dave has a very good handle on his C43 I must say and it looks like he has the stck suspension.Impressive as well. I did notice that the anti-skid is a real *** saver around those turns on wet grnd.I love it in that case.Fun fun fun!
