I'm riding along with a buddy of mine who's bringing his milan brown 6.9 out to Illinois for long-term storage in two weeks.  We'll be sorting through piles of old Mercedes parts and I'll be admiring his collection of Adenauers...  You should pop over for a visit. :)

I love fishtailing the rear end around corners like that, though it's hard to do without a more powerful car than I own.  I think it's for the best that I don't have a 6.9 - I'm pretty sure I'd get myself into a lot of trouble...

Love watching those big American sedans slide 'round the corners. And that engine sound............. 'eargasmic' !
