watching all three in one work day and you will be the employee of the month since your boss would think you are super diligent

Test drove the C63 yesterday (And my mate having the new E63!)
All i can say is...what a BEAST!!

The power is relentless and seems it wants to slides everytime you put your foot down the throttle!
The handling is great but the grip is poor and very easy to get the back ends out.
M3 definitely has more grip and better handling but the power on C63 is insane!

The E63 is even more awesome! The sound is from the hell and its like nothing i have ever heard before!

The instructors are great,have been taught how to power slide throught the wet track, although still got alot to learn!

Will post pics when i back to HK

He is still a legend!
w/o a doubt, one of the best races in my book was when he was still driving for beneton in which, the gear box stuck at a gear. he changed the racing line and continued to win the race.

loads of fun so the trip was worth it in the end.
now go and find a track-day any were.
MB power is mad and over powered.
every 1 that owns 1 always say it is a hand full to drive unlike the M3 which is much easier.

when are you back?
