    We're driving around the west coast of the Scottish Highlands at the moment in the 300TD (which is behaving faultlessly) and came upon a police roadblock near Glenuig. Turned out they were filming the SLS AMG Roadster advert. I just happened to have my video camera to hand... [YOUTUBE...

    Merparts - probably the best independent specialists in Scotland?
