Shmee150 - SLS Black Series

[Steve@Avantgarde]

So for the last few months we have had Tim's SLS Black Series in our workshop. It was delivered to us as it would crank over and not fire into life.

If you would like to see the video which includes a bit of a look around my workshop here, then the link is below.

I still prefer the SLR to the SLS and good to see that you made sure it was outnumbered the day Shmee visited

Yup but that YOB number plate is awful (Even if it is the owners initials)

I have to be honest, I have so much emotional involvement in the SLR because I had a hand in building prototypes and then building 1000 of them that I just love it. I also love the SLS.

However they are 2 totally different cars. The SLS is much more nimble, responsive, aggressive and gives you more feedback. However it lacks the mechanical and aerodynamic solidarity of the SLR the comfort at low speeds together with such surity when planting the throttle or cornering at speed.

In short, I would have them both.

Same here. It's a shame because I just watched Jonny Smith (Late Brake Show) interview him, and when he's not "Shmee150" he comes across soo much better!

I'm sure he's a nice bloke but his persona on YT makes my teeth itch.

I started watching the same Late Brake Show ..... I think I only managed 5 mins on that too

Maybe ask Youtuber Manny Khoshbin if he can spare one of the 8 he owns. He's apparently going to stop at 10.
