Over the bank holiday weekend by chance I was lent a g55 amg. It has to rate as the most amusing car I have ever driven and is worth the mental asking price just for the noise!
As I no doubt won't be getting another chance to drive one I thought I would take a quick video with my gopro around town and at a local runway :wink:

I was just watching one of these on a re-run of Top gear this morning

Aren't they about 492bhp or something similar?

Quite the urban warrior :D

Great wagon, you can almost see the petrol guage moving as much as the rev counter & speedo.

Technically not exactly. I live near Colchester, and was originally from a place in Bucks..

Plus living near Colchester gives me a good insight into what is council.. :)
