We saw one of those being unloaded from a trailer at the Mercedes test track next to the Brooklands Museum a little while ago-looked very nice too.

In April a showroom in Fukuoka, Japan had SLR, Porsche Carrera GT, Fezza 430 and something else, I think a drop-dead gorgeous Aston.

I had a flat nose and lips for ages after being dragged away from the window.

I was in Monaco the other week and there were lots of the Mercedes McLaren along with Ferrari, Lambo's and every other exotica you could mention. Apart from a Veyron, I spent my time trying to find one!
