I think if I bought one of those and didn't get that reaction from someone I'd be asking for my money back

No-one does loud and offensive quite like AMG - I love it.

r8byb - was it your lot that ran Ben Winrow in the Fiats last year?

And how the hell were you having handling issues with your Beemer when you're working in that environment?

Are you mad??

If I had millions i'd probably not choose an S2000 to travel big miles in!

We did run a fiat 500 yep.

I had a tyre issue, slicks in the wet just don't cut it.

What is Anthony Hamilton famous for again?

at BB and his 'unerstated' comment, that particular S2000 is anything but subtle and understated, I do however agree that the AMG screams 'Look I have a fast car just like my 'famous' son has one'.

The merc is not my cup of tea, I prefer the sleeper look myself, Mr Hamilton may be well known in motorsport circles but famous, Nah.

Around here (where he lives) he is famous for managing to park his Carrera GT in a field, 50 yards from the road.

Jealousy is a cruel mistress.

So life didn't turn out quite as well as you'd hoped.

Get over it.

Could be worse...... it could have a Type R badge stuck on the grill.

Pots and kettles etc.
