I have to agree with the above, for the last 8 months I've been hiding my
new car, an 88 MB which today reached 50,000km & is superb in every
respect!  This has been a very wet year in Queensland, so its been perfect
for exploring the new cars abilities.

The torsen makes a huge difference to these cars,  I'm only just coming too
terms with just how fast you really can push the beast, which is faster
than anything I've come across, which includes the wrx & gtr that the
worlds press seem to be so enarormed of.

gotta learn some of those, I've been content with scaring passengers  um
