I just watched AMS on TV, and they had a great drive report on the DB9...some sensational sound when revving the engine.

I have got it from the VHS tape to my PC just in case, has it already been provided by AlienDB7 before or is it new?

I have an Auto Motor und Sport DB9 video... so I guess the answer is yes

Its on a local community channel, called Channel 31 (not cable, its free-to-air). They show AMS on Saturday afternoons and Monday nights....on Monday is a report on a tuned version of the new Golf.

Oh i forgot to mention: Last Sunday AMS-TV Germany tested the Lotec Sirius :shock: If you don´t know what that is here are some numbers:
6.0 V12 engine with 1334hp

Torque: 1300nm
Weight: 1280 kg
0-60mph: 3.6 sec
0-120mph: 7.8 sec

This car is truly insane

You have to cap it when they show it in the US since this is the only review of this car to my knowledge

Go here for some pics: http://www.supercars.de/index.html?s...&modell_id=708

And do a search on the mag section for a short evo article about the Sirius

It's nice that you've thought of me, thanks for this video. Those cars aren't the most exciting but I did my internship and had a chat (he shared the same room at my internship company) with the general manager of the company where they produce these cars. So I started growing interest in these 2 cars. IMO the smart is too much of a legobox looking car for me, the colt isn't too bad but not really my first choice.

Thanks TT will do that now

Yesterday AMS-TV tested the new SLK55 AMG and the CLS55 AMG

Awesome cars and an excellent vid :shock: And again some insane driving through the woods with the SLK (Awesome sound of course) These cars are again a dream for me

Hey, first of all, I know it is late to do this, but thanks for ripping the show and sharing with us. I saw the one on the Colt and Smart last week on Detroit Public TV, but had a hard time staying up cuz it was on so late. Anyway, wonder if they've covered the SL65 yet?

AlienDB7 · 10-04-2004, 06:14 PM

martin100: I'll definitely look out for Lotec Sirius, it seems like a good car.

Got a bad news. The TV station moved AMS to a different time slot without properly updating the schedule on their website so I missed tonight's episode. But don't worry, it was mostly repeat of previously shown features anyway.

But there's good news, I got other videos to post

Myth Busters - Car Capers.wmv

For those of you who enjoyed the Top Gear Toyota Hilux destruction feature, you may enjoy this Myth Busters one. Basically they took a caddy from a fan of the show and tested a number of car related myths on it. From pouring sugar in the gas tank to shooting up the gas tank, you name it. Won't spoil it by telling you the result, you have to watch it for yourself

Motorweek - 2005 Ford Mustang.avi

Just an average review but it's the first one I've seen.

bmagni · 10-04-2004, 11:47 PM
