I had a nice treat last weekend...
My mate Gary doesn't want to use his 993 turbo over the winter , so he bought a new "daily driver" (yes really :frustrated: )
His "good" cars are all in a secure lock up 5 miles away, but he wanted something he can leave outside, and not worry about leaving out if it rains.
I went with him to Mercedes Guildford , he bought the ex demonstrator, <500 miles on clock , fully loaded.
The treat was that he let me drive it the 75 miles home. What a weapon . 507hp. 4 litre twin turbo, 0-60 3.7 secs. I read up on it , the technology is incredible with regard to the engineering. E.g. Quite a few "firsts" which I assume filtered down from F1 :?:
Very fast, the noise is addictive, but wow it's HUGE ! The width, the length of bonnet.... got back in my car and it's like a go kart. Was more fun throwing it about the country roads :thumbs:
