SteveR Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 As long as you're not going to be dissapointed, going in that bus/tank of yours big guy. You should definitely lap in it. Does it have a 'sport' mode for the suspension? Body roll in things that high scares the crp out of me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henk Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I never did tell you guys about the test drive before I bought the ML55. My friend Duncan came to check the car / engine over (He's a Senior Technician at McLaren Mercedes) he's really embarrased about the video they uploaded (Top right: http://www.mclarenautomotive.com/interactive/video.php ) So 1/2 way through the test drive Duncan got behind the wheel and started driving HARD, we approached a roundabout and, unbeknownst to me, he turned off the ESP..... He 4 wheel drifted the ML round the roundabout with me seeing asphalt through the passenger window! Needless to say I screamed like a little girl and in a nearby layby he got out and we swapped places saying "Yep, good quality car mate...."

Ark Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Ferry out (Dover - Dunkirk) Thurs 23rd JULY at 6am £21 Ferry in (Dunkirk - Dover) Tues 28th JULY at 4pm £19 Ferry is at least 4x that price now Might go the whole hog and use the tunnel instead.

SteveR Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Ferry is at least 4x that price now Might go the whole hog and use the tunnel instead. The tunnel/ferry costs do tend to align if you don't have a long notice period, unfortunately. Don't forget that although the tunnel is much quicker (and not subject to adverse weather and French port blockades) you don't get the opportunity to rest quite as much (or eat/nip to the loo) but also it lands you 20 miles further away from the Ring than getting the ferry to Dunkerque.
