lol, i was typeing something for the other thread then u locked it images/smilies/sad.gif

Don't blame u though. it was the answer to what was on this show.

"

Em, if i remember correctly;

Cabrio's, two sets;
Mazda MX5
New opel Tigra
Fiat Barrecha (sp?)
Toyota MR2

Second set;

New Merc SLR
New mini cooper cabrio
Audi S4 cabrio
(think i'm missing one here)

Then they try to parracute into a SL. images/smilies/smile.gif

Special guest is some english ex-sas guy (he was in the news a few months ago for doing 7 marathons in 7 days in 7 continents after bypass heart surgery.

They catch up on the cool wall.

Ow, and the most interesting thing is that they take the CL65 from lasts show around the track, not a pretty sight images/smilies/oops.gif

Might have forgot a few things.

If so, that'll be a waste of time. Do they even sell a V6 Vetter over here?

I don't think so...the 'worst' vette would still have a 5.7Liter LS1 V8

Looking forward to the CLS track attack!

Also the MX5 v Tigra v Barchetta comparo (pfffttt to the MR2, says I). I'm still a massive, massive fan of the MX-5. It is pure bliss to be behind the wheel of one of those babies, even the underpowered 1.6 engined models. I haven't driven a car where I've felt so 'connected' to the road. It always makes one take the long way home.

Yes, the Miata is also known as an MX-5.
They are absolutely incredible cars, but other than the brand new MazdaSpeed version they really need a lot more power. images/smilies/sad.gif
