That is a thought - Leon is usally a good 10mph down on me so if I put 102 in mine do I hit 208?

I suspect Rods with race fuel might have been a high 190s bod, too.

Not sure what effect Schoo-makker juice in regularish road car lumps will have?

Mark's Kleeman is just the absolute f@cking business, though, is it not?

I mean here we are, flapping around every 3 months like a bunch of demented demi Lufftwaffia, spending £x/n-1 for the odd mile an hour and yet this unassuming SL quietely lopes in, sets up camp for a few hours and by any moral standard, makes off with 90% of the tea & biscuits, all the while exhibiting more composure than a female monarch during the letting orf of a fake pistola whilst marching amidst the plebian mass.

I many ways, the argument for a big, modified Merc for VMax and something lithe (RS, GT3, Noble, Evo, Scooby) for the weekend hills seems a more logical approach.

Will this profound logicality have any sway on the sufferance described?

Not even slightly...

Ah come on David, stop mucking about,,,Jungle juice IN,,,Rear wing OFF,,,Leon in new Ruf...........2nd...

Now what about me,....Mr Kleemann...Help Needed.

Mark.

help ? he's gonna need a serious bag of tricks to come good next time round...

If Leon brings an RT12, you might as well forget it - the challenge will be to see if anyone can replicate Guy's original 200 busting feat and/or which is the second fastest chariot.

The only way from that, is via Veyron.

i disagree, i think mark has a good chance against the RT12 .....if he drives around the other way to the finish line (oh no, i forgot there are a few gentle corners that way, i.e merc sl plus turns = no joy )

that said, mark must have a lot of experience with driving sl's, since the late 1930's isn't it mark? maybe he knows a few things that we don't... such as how to drive an aquamarine sl and not be mistaken for a hairdresser ...or is he ?

Mark (sorry for poking fun, only there is nobody else who deserves it as much)

Why thank you young Leons,as always you youngsters underestimate; experience, ablility and knowledge.
I look forward to our picture on this V-Max forum to decide which of us looks more like a hairdresser..
Driving the SL with so much power and so little cornering ability should only be attempted by experts such as myself,I doubt 'Shoemaker' would do any better.
You young boys stick to your 'cornering on rails porkers'
Now in 'The Palace' I have some special rooms I havent looked into yet,so while your learning how to deal with 700bhp lurrid wheel spin, I shall altering my power output into the 190mph plus range.
Remember it might be horisontal rain at the next V-Max.

Mark.

horisontal ? rain would be fun...just don't forget to close your roof as it might get a little wet in the palace (and I'm not referring to sweating my new car)
