    That is absolutely hot hot hot. I think I'm in love. I had a 1:18th scale of the original. One of the most beautiful cars ever made. And the new one is just fantastic... I want one... better make that two.

    yer a massive contender for next bond car i reckon!

    and agree ange, teh retro work is grat.

    they have kept the original styling but have brught it into the 21st century.

    the best thing is when you look at it, you can immediatly see its origins.

    a big thumbs up to merc for the design

    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    He was fanging it around some town...it's his new favourite car ATM he reckons...

    I also love the AMG SL600 that's the one he was fanging around the track that couldn't be controlled due to too much power and torque from a monster twin turbo V12...

    Even the new model C63 is HOT !!!

    I see them on occaision here in Soutbank (Merc/AMG/Brabus) dealers all located next door to my work and being fanged around, those new Merc 6.2ltr V8's sound absolutely awesome !!!

    Also got a BMW dealer next door here and see the occaisional test thrash drive from people in 135i's, 335i's and even a new M3 once Click here to enlarge

    Note to all - never buy an ex-demo high-po car, especially the high dollar exotics !!!!!!!
