AMG Event, Croatia: CLK DTM, SLR's, SL65...

[komotar]

Ok, this event took place about two months ago in Cratia's circuit Grobnik...

I had the chance to get a ride in the SLR and the orange DTM, but we had to leave early....... :x , that's a chance I'll never get back, lol


I did to get to drive the 350 CLS and the new S class. Nice cars 8)

Anyway, here's the fast one. The sound it makes is just unreal....

Now this was the real treat for the day. The 300 SL and his "topless" bro.

The sound it makes is soooo nice. Compared to the SLR's deep and not so loud rumble it's like poetry! The car really is one of the most beautifull machines ever made. The attention to detail is stunning....

lol, I didn't. She came across like she's something else. Like she's miss of the world, not giving a fuck about the whole car thing, like, let's get this taped and go home, lol. I think she is sexy like hell!

The first time I saw her, was in Italy on the Impreza presentation, where she acted the same way and was then the only one, that went off the track. The instructor ( a pro rally driver ) had to pull the hand brake, lol.

When they came back to the pits she just disappeared, lol. Ah, the shame....

But she is a looker and she has an ass of a goddess.

[pzgren]

ok, i see. so she's only for our eyes and that's it, but that's fine too :wink: i hate arrogant people only because they're good looking...

[Shinigami]

I thought the SLR's brakes were good? A minute of cooling, that's not much at all, brakes can stay hot for 30 minutes...

JC spoke about the SLR's brakes lasting longer then a Carrera GT's on track driving...

Nice pics, any SLK 55's in there?

Well, I don't know what kind of brakes JC had on the test car, lol, but the SLR is having HUUUGE problems with brakes. And I mean huge, really, the AMG department need all the help they can get.

In fact, I don't know, if you saw this in a nother topic, but my boss has connections at amg and they gave us ( my boss and his partner) an SL55 for a few months to do tests on some new ceramic brakes. This guy here in Slovenia has developed some new brakes that could fix the problem.....

Something to do with nano technologies and stuff, anyway and if they'll work, we may have a deal with AMG on our hands....

The PR people will be saying that the brakes are good, but inside there are some serious problems with them.

[dingo]

Umm, mate you have disappointed me! Why only 1024x768????? :? :P

Anyway a nice lineup of cars, especially the DTM. :drool:

I aslo love that colour on the SL65 - looks HOT!!!!

Nice chick too, but why is she wearing underwear? :?

ask away 8)

[MIHALS]

wow, another KOMOTAR's day :shock: :drool: :love: :clap: :good:

congrats for the meeting, ride and that babe - she really is hot :twisted:

I wish you the best with the contract with AMG!!!! so if you "pass", you will get your own SLR as an apreciation ???? :roflmao:

Thank you for sharring your pics!!!!

[stmoritzer]

Wow, another nice event coverage from komotar!

yeah, the picsize is quite small :?

but the cars are great, the vintage oney as well as the SLR's
IMO the black one is stunning, but the SLR shape is not visible , so the perfect color is still silvergrey :D

The orange CLK is spotted in several places atm (Dubai, Croatia,...) :wink:

if I understood correctly, you didn't had a ride in the SLR and CLK at the end :( , sorry to hear that

No problem dingo, I'm having some stuff to do right now, and I hope I'll be able to put them up tonight. 8)

[TT]

Damn nice event!! The 300SL Gullwing really stands out! But I also appreciate some more pics of an SLR which isn't black or silver :good:

Thanks a lot!

[MIHALS]

oh yes, I can't read.....

you missed the ride.... what a f*cking shame!!!!!!!!! :cry:

cool bananas.....thanks. :D

hmm, when speaking with a McLaren representative, they told me that the ceramic brakes of the SLR were created, installed and treated by MB and McLaren, not by AMG.

I wonder if AMG were testing some non-SLR brakes and that they were producing the "big and huge" problems. A bit more clarification would be nice as I don't really know what the problems are from your post. Was it brake fading? Bursting up in flames? You know, that kinda stuff... I've read and seen so many reviews of the SLR and the brake system that apparently, whilst a bit too sudden, is extremely good at stopping the car. Perhaps there's different brakes for the car depending on the market?

So anyway, from what I spoke with the McLaren representative, it's not AMG or MB that works on an SLR, but usually a specific technician using their own tools and bits and pieces. So I don't really know where the AMG team comes into this... *confusion*

The pics are sweet tho', keep 'em coming :)

[Wyclef]

I love G-class 8) The new GL looks :roll:
Thanks for the pics - do you have more pics of G-class?

[Pehtren]

My bad, by AMG, I ment the whole thing. Mclaren, MB and AMG.

The whole thing was set up by Wolf Zimermann, who is a thechincal director of AMG, or something like that. If the results were succesfull, the brakes would then also be used on all AMG range.

The problems among other things were, that the brakes can catch fire and they start to fade too quickly. That's what they said.

I don't think that the brakes are different from market to market.

But I will look into this and report what I found out.

[Shinigami]

Okie dokie, cheers for that.

Yeah, I've heard the brakes go up in flames, but I also heard that they do work quite damn well and lasted longer then many equivalent ones...

[martin100]

OMG that must have been an amazing meeting. So many SL65, SLRs and even oldtimers like the 300SL. This is true paradise for me :twisted:

[callen]

great pics thanks komotar! the reporter is very pretty indeed, but it seems like she knew you were going to take the picture and made the "im too cool" picture so i can tell what you mean about this girl! btw what the hell is with the Dodge SRT 4??? LOL :D

[bmagni]

lol at the brakes of the slr, didnt top gear set them on fire ???? mclaren sucks :P

[sentra_dude]

Sweet pictures, that's a lot of 65 series cars...and the SLR looks great with those wheels and the silver color.

That truck is a monster. :twisted:

[ferrari550]

The clk and SLR pics are very sweet!!

And is that an insanely huge turbo on tha truck?

[corvette97]

SL65 :wanker: :drool:

[Wutputt]

Awesome event, too bad you had to leave so early. The orange CLK DTM test mule looks just so hot and I like the dark blue SLR, nice to see it in another colour as the standard silver and black which where available since the launch. And good to see the 300SL in action on the track.

[Dubai]

Who is going to see the CLK next, last week it was in Dubai... ? :D
