It might be in China. No wonder most of them ride bikes.

Wouldn't have had as much dramatic effect hitting a bike with sticks though.

I think the man in question has watched too much Fawlty Towers. He put it on the line to the car time and time again etc etc etc

I know the SLK's got a trick hood, but halfway through that article it manages to turn into a "S320". Damn, Stuttgart's getting clever.

Reading it myself I interpreted it as the original d***head persuaded his friend d***head no.2 to do the same to his S320 = 2 scrapped Mercs.

Found it very funny - I wish I had the money to a Mercedes and ruin thier reputation but I can't imagine ever buying one of the vile things in the first place.

Whats the statistic again - "there are more millionares in China than there are people living in the UK".

As a percentage of the population it is significantly smaller, but due to the sheer size of China the numbers are huge! Makes you think though....

It is a funny article, but it gets a bit sinister when they threaten a company with legal action for daring to suggest that Taiwan is a country. bit scary when there's 1.2 billion nationalistic nutters over there!
