540k Mercedes being driven hard video

There is nothing more Classic (in my mind) then a 500k/540k Mercedes and here is the all time best 540k/500k video. At the 47 second mark the driver engages the blower. He is driving this 1.5 million dollar car ($10,000 new in 1936) harder then I drive my truck. People love to brag about how they drive their cars. I'll bet none of us are doing what this dude is doing.YouTube - M.B. 500K in Sweden

I wouldn't say "none of us.":D Although my car isn't worth quite that much.

I think the Cab A is the best-looking M-B ever. This one is especially good looking because it doesn't have those silly spot lights hanging off the windshield posts.

West - you drive sideways on a dirt road???

I go back and forth between the the 500k Cab A and the first series 540k Cab A as to which is better looking.

As for the silly spot lights I have always liked them. They are your best bet if you want any kind of side view mirror. You could mount mirrors on the sidemounts (which isn't an option for this car) which really wrecks the lines or you could put something non-factory on.

I do not speak Swedish, but I think that the guy is saying "Drive it like you stole it".

I believe the Swedish slogan is, "drive it like you hate it."
