He still gets a go behind the wheel of a Mercedes Benz W196 though.

I quote: "I think that might be my favourite car of all time. I just love the sound of it, with its old V12 engine - I'd love to have a road car that sounded like that."

"- I'd love to have a road car that sounded like that."

If he thinks it's a V12 he could buy an old XJS. But what could he buy if he wanted a straight-8 ?

You want gangsta and straight eight, how about my pal's Pontiac? He's got a 6-cylinder one as well...

Maybe he got confused with the W154 - I'd guess he's driven one of those before as well...
