    Bang on with the silver wheels.Black was too chavvy for the Merc,especially as they looked rattle canned. Loved the run in with the Golf driver.Nearly crashed but got a new subscriber and potential new customers in the process.Good work there👌🏼

    Quick reaction there Calvin. Always expect the unexpected when out driving. Full respect to you for not flipping your lid and respect to the guys for not kicking off and trying to blame you, as very often the driver at fault try to pass the blame regardless. Another vote for the Sliver wheels. Keep the great content coming Calvin. 👍
