Was coming off Hanger Lane roundabout in west london, into 3rd and floored it for some fun. This merc just blasted past as if I was standing still!! Pretty impressive, sounded good too.

interesting as Andy was all over the back of one when we were on the way upto WRC for the rolling road day

Hmmn...Andy's has got more power than mine though. Or it could be that I cannot drive!

they are pushing about 400bhp i think mate, so its hardly suprising that he went past you!!

you got the clio yet carwash man? ;)

367bhp... 0-60 in a claimed 5.1 seconds. :) nothing to be ashamed of mate.

Not ashamed, was just surprised when this thing shot past!

Clio not here for another 5 weeks, still not built. Will never take it to a jetwash!

Odd you should ask about the Clio, this happens to be my 197th post!

Dont feel to bad mate. I got wasted my an BMW M6 Yesterday he even slowed down so I could catch up lol.

Now those things are seriously fast.

when i worked by gypsies corner i had a 182 and got done by one of those 535/530 diesels. ****ing well quick!!

amusingly i was all over the back of a merc E500 and S500......shame they wernt AMG's

probaly just an e220 with a 500 badge:) dont know why they do that:confused:

More amusing is when greasy B roads are the order of the day. Only thing that sticks with my Cup easily in those conditions is an RS4 - the Nobles and a mates GT3 are all too much of a handful to make swift progress in as the potential for falling off is far too high.

Of course on track it's a slightly different story ;-)

^ its amazing how confident and responsive this car is over difficult roads, i doubt much can touch it regardless of power.
