So who's the chap with the pale pastel blue/green XK8 with huge blinging chrome wheels and 4000w of music pumping out of the blackened windows?

Also a seriously 'winged' Merc cruising around. Looked a bit like one of those fancy DTM jobbies with all the stickers and advertising on it, but more likely a kitted up CLK.

A nice AM DB7 GT on Winterstoke Road (sounded lovely).

Plenty of chavved up 'cheap-n-nasties' blatting around too.

:D

I spot the DB7 around a lot, he must have non standard exhausts because it sounds amazing!

It's their demo car. Wasn't massively impressed with the finish up close. Looks good from a distance though.

Don't know the others...

I've heard there are one or two real ones in W-S-M.

Bizarre choice of colour for a Jag. Certainly not my taste!

Could have been the real deal. Didn't get enough of a look as if flashed past in the opposite direction.

I've certainly not seen one. Any ideas who the suspects are...? IKAIK, they'll be only a handful of people who would be in a position to have one.

AMG have limited production to 100 road cars. I've been told that one person in or near W-S-M has bought two of them.

I know that they are Uber Rare. In which case, I have a feeling I know who it is... The same chap who has an SLR, rumoured to also have an Enzo, his wife drives a 575M, and they also have an Ex F1 luxury trailer for when they go to race meets...

Fair play to the car nut!

Thought that this was about the advert in todays Times for No 1 of 100 CLK DTM AMG advertised at £270,000 yes that's right £270k.
Did anyone else see this, i know they are cracking cars, but that is a staggerring amount of money.

Has got me thinking about these rather exclusive Mercs!




Very nice, but why buy two? Just because he can!?

I am familiar with the owner (but have never met him personally), he has at least 2 but I have heard 3.

Can't complain, really...

Wish I'd seen them around though!
