Mercs - our MD & Chairman bought his'n'hers new Mercs a few weeks ago - E320 estates. The day after picking them up, one of them wouldn't start...that went down rather well with the underpaid overworked workforce! ;-)

Scooby's - I took my (140K miles - owned for 7 years) for it's first trackday a couple of weeks ago - 160 miles of redlining & squealing rubber. Didn't bat an eyelid (except maybe for some new tyres in the near future & I think a bit of warping of front discs....got a little bit bumpy when they got V. V. hot., but they needed replacing anyway!!). Bulletproof.

Rover - never considered, never will be considered...
