I Have to Get Me One of These

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing Pardon my grammar, but wow—what a car: It goes about a zillion miles an hour, looks tougher than jailhouse steak and has explosive bolts in the doors, but before getting to the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing, if I may, a nod to the old (1955-1957) Gullwing. Some years ago I drove a Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing in the Mille Miglia, the 1,000-mile road rally...

2009 Gullwing-America 300 SL Panamericana

Another iconic vehicle is about to be reborn and brought into the 21st century. This time it is the Mercedes-Benz 300SL that is getting the make-over treatment (that’s the car with the batman-esque doors to you and me, or Gull-wings as they are known in the car business). This beautiful badboy, first introduced to the roads in 1954, is to be modified by Arturo Alonso and his company, Gullwing...

Summer 2005, my plans for a Vintage Car Rally Vacation evaporate as my funds allocated for the purpose are vacuumed out of my wallet rebuilding an very poorly rebuilt engine.
