DailyMail has to have some of the trashiest and sloppiest reporting, but its still free and updates all the time!    This G item got my attention.

Comes with the predictable pointless sledging saying it is an ugly car :)

Each to their own.  I knew the car and had absolutely no clue who she is (ouch, there I go).

Re: In the news - ugly car...

 Errr - Someone please put me straight here?

You can get an AMG
You can get a Brabus
But can one get an AMG BRABUS? I always thought they did not get on and they were two different tuning houses.....

Anyway - who is she? I have no Idea..... Though she would be welcome to the Wood and Leather Brigade ;)

Ian, 

Many thanks for clearing that up for me. LOL No wonder she needs a G, so she can get up there to kiss him LOL. Sorry - No current footballers or media types or z listed celebs please :)

Though have tried to get the Blond Tv lady to join in, as I could be flying solo for the AGM :) but no luck :(

"twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V-8 and a seven-speed automatic gearbox", that would be a one-off, might have more power than a G65 and definitely more expensive than £150k, trashiest and sloppiest reporting at its best.

Well one learns something every day! Aparently one can purchace an AMG and then get Brabus to tune it up more!

So in future I think I will ask for Heston Bluminheck to garnish my Nigella Lawson Chicken Corma? Because that makes it better....... not

Guild that lilly.... God dam Muppets.....

Rant over

Crazy money, but I do like the interior.  All perfect except the drivers floor mats don't seem to fit the Auto pedal arrangement?  Nearly 600BHP too.
