John and fellow 4/4 owners:
Yesterday the Houston area Morgan and Mercedes Benz clubs had an =
autocross together. I could not wait to get behind the wheel of a 4/4 =
and see just what would happen on the course. I compete with my Benz =
(300SD) all the time and do fairly well.
The results were kind of interesting. I ended up competeing with the =
SL's. I know a 4/4 with a bunch of 450, 500, 560 SL's, your all =
thinking I must be nuts, but I came in with the second best time in =
that class. It says something about the 500SL's, I'm not sure what, but =
I had fun with it. Just goes to show the little 4/4 can hold its own. =
Hope this helps defend the honor of the 4/4.
The funny part was I also beat their times in the SD with the windows up =
and the air and stereo on. =20
