Guest morpheus2702 Posted May 16, 2004 Report Posted May 16, 2004 Sunday morning, 10.30am doing the dreaded Tesco run. Just about to turn right into Tesco Kingston MK and what comes hammering round the roundabout? A Merecedes SLR McLaren! OK I only saw it for maybe 5 seconds, but boy was it LOUD, LOW and perhaps the most penile vehicle I have ever seen. The bonnet goes on for half a mile! A nice start to a sunny Sunday...
Guest superkingdave Posted May 16, 2004 Report Posted May 16, 2004 its on top gear now! Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest Vector Posted May 16, 2004 Report Posted May 16, 2004 Fastest car ever around the top gear track :) they look just lurrrvly, shame about the 300k+ proce tag :?
Guest superkingdave Posted May 17, 2004 Report Posted May 17, 2004 TBH i think they look a bit cr*p would rather have a TVR
Guest PritenC Posted May 17, 2004 Report Posted May 17, 2004 You may think it ugly, but imagine you come to a fierce halt at some light, at night and your brake discs are glowing - how cool would that look!
Guest morpheus2702 Posted May 17, 2004 Report Posted May 17, 2004 This thing sounded like a Tuscan, mixed with the De Lorean from Back to the Future.
Guest nedge2k Posted May 17, 2004 Report Posted May 17, 2004 Yeh i noted the De Lorean tones...nice But at the end of the day you can get any old american V8 (70's muscle cars only)...bolt on a charger (if not one there already!), port, polish, lightened crank, forged pistons, nos etc etc etc sort out the handling (americans dont seem to know what corners are :roll: ) get it looking mint with a decent ice install and enough power and torque to rip a hole throu the ozone and viola...an slr beater for a fraction of the cost, alot more unique and alot better to look at :wink: My weapons of choice...Plymouth Baracuda or Pontiac Trans Am
