This guy has basically copied the formula the Estonian guys used when they built their W123 diesel wagon drift car/monster.

Big turbo, huge diff and lotsa fuel and listening to the video is an experience that raises goosebumps

And this backs up my submission that we should widen TK focus to the W123 (they're just a little W116 after all)!!!!

Seems this year they are running a VOLVO diesel! Tremec box and even a custom front end also Volvo...............

TRAITORS!

Not so excited now... But at least it LOOKS like a classic MB! A bit of free advertising for the cause.... and the crowd seem to love it!!!!

First time I watched it and they still had Benz gear in it I got huge goosebumps mate, then i hunted for more and spent the best part of a sunny afternoon watching them. Having 2.1 ch speakers with a decent sub helps as well with the aural enjoyment (everyone enjoys good Aural enjoyment) and even my Wife demanding I do some work didn't dampen the show.

But the best part is that this wagon just keeps reeling in the competition and eating those Skylines, Beemers and Honda's with shameful regularity and hell, it makes me smile..... And wonder how a wagon would go at the local hillclimb circuit.
