The black series would be nice. I'm looking at an 09 SL63 AMG on the weekend.

Next time you rent a moped on vacation, try this. It really impresses the rental agency guy.

Only a few pilots understand you can only tie the "lowest flight" record.

But I bet most of the rodents hiding in the grass did. Note the 'Hoover' line on the ground after the first jet has passed!

Someone once asked me, if you were to write your own epitaph for your headstone, what would it read:
I answered: (morbidly)
"Look Up"

Awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEvpnKRLDO4

It would be even more awesome if we knew those walls really were concrete.

Kevin, is it just me or is the 1 Series the only good looking BMW made today? Or any German made car for that matter.

All the Audis, Porsches, Beemers and Mercs just seem to be trying a bit too hard. Every surface has a crease, chrome accent or Christmas lights nailed on without much care thought through to the look.

Only Opel/GM seem to make well designed cars at the moment. ???

Are the Christmas lights on a Opel are better than on a Audi?

One of my favourite cars is the BMW 5-series and I'm waiting for the new 3-series

The traffic in London during the summer is a real jam.

In the vein or oops and creased sheetmetal: this was one of our cars until about 2 months ago (pic is from yesterday)... there's really only one way to learn not to lift a Porsche's throttle mid-turn!
