  • 120hp, a lot of kerb weight and only four forward gears. But I had an ex- Formula One driver with me, so surely we wouldn't be the slowest car out there? Let the fun begin.

    First time I've seen this side of David Coulthard. Had no idea he is so witty and funny, what a cool guy! If ever there could be one, he would make a great replacement for JC on Top Gear!

    the man with the crazy face made me so happy. im not sure why. the pureness of the competition, the joy you can see in his actions. i know your grin was also massive Mr. Harris; mine sure was.

    That is almost [racing stuff aside] what my step-grandfather brought back from his '63 trip to Europe, and drove well into the 1990's. He served with the Marines in WW-1, and later, in 1941, he became a Drill Sargent for the US Army, as the Marines didn't accept recruits older than 40. Thus he was involved with both World Wars, yet only served in the first.
    His Mercedes was his pride and joy, and I was lucky enough to ride in it a good 20 times in the late 60's-early 70's as a kid. The Vertical Speedo/Tach was always fun to watch, and the seats were incredible. I can't say much of the handling, other than it made my dad's Fords seem, um, sluggish in corners. I would later find a similar ride in my parent's Volvo 240 DL, in the mid 70's..
