    Well, Jana looks great, but, anorak* that I am, I could tell you a lot about that car… ;D 😉

    *Anorak is a UK word for which the nearest US word would be "nerd", but it tends to refer to people in non-IT fields.

    Haha, yes I do!  Of course, I forgot that you liked cars as well.

    Correct, though more usually termed the 300SLR.  It won the 1955 Mille Miglia and Targa Florio, plus the TT at Dundrod in Ulster and probably would have won at Le Mans that year as well had it not been for the team being withdrawn following the Levegh disaster.

    It was an SLR before it was modified Uhenlaut Coupe. The SLR was an open cockpit racer. There still are 6 of the SLRs in existence, I think.
