They are an agency that supplies vehicles to the film world etc.

They say they can even change the colour of the vehicle if required by the client !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you really want other numbskulls driving and abusing your pride and joy ??????

Suggest you see their web site before volunteering..

yes we are a vehicle supplier but we pride our selves on the care we take with owner vehicles and if we change a car colour its on one we own re numbskulls driving and abusing your vehicle this is also non correct mercedes benz have given us vehicles to use before and still do a lot of people and owners get great pleasure in seeing there vehicle on the big screen its sometimes here on the big screen where a love of a vehicle begins the world would be a sadder place if everyone was to think like you its easy to call people bad names and slander there charecter a person who does this has lost his right to comment faithfully john

That's one thing that concerns me. And redlining the car from cold if they have to make a quick getaway in the film.
you make out that our drivers are stupid and not experinced
there is no getaway scene in this film and if there was we would know how to drive a vehicle correctley narrow minded springs to mind

let's chill guys and gals

at least we're not being addressed in Txtspk, or whatever they call it.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy one of the many classic SLs available, use it, and then sell it after the film. Or chalk it up to production expenses. Or sell lottery tickets for it, or shares in it. Hang on, they did that in " The Producers" didn't they.

It must be a remake then.

John - I have looked at your web site, with some interest. You seem to own, or have access to, a huge range of vehicles. I am sure many of the members of this forum would at least give their back teeth to have your job. You are clearly successful at what you do and good luck.

However, perhaps if you post on a forum in future you might take a breath and give some thought to any response you put up. Many of the comments made here were done with some humour, and even if critical perhaps should have just been taken on the chin. Some members even posted pictures of their SLs, and may have been at least open to reasoned discussion on the matter.

Acerbic responses have failed to create a positive image of yourself and your company, and being a public forum are there for the world to see.

Good luck with finding your SL
