    You are not boring us Styria. We are interested. The other car that kind of tempts me at the moment is a Jaguar XJS V12. I suppose I should be responsible though; it is a recession. Regards, Benz-Boy

    Here 'tis, especially for Styria. Sighted today at an RROCA event I organised and so I took it for a ride. Great ride comfort and very nice handling. All round, a very appealing car. No wonder Styria likes them. Regards, Benz-Boy
