The rear driver was a Merc C32 AMG with the supercharged V6 - 354bhp and went like greased weasel sh1t - but as soon as the roads were wet & I wanted to "make progress" the thing suffered from over-intrusive traction control/ESP or whatever you call it - plus if I switched the TC off the wife & kids didn't really enjoy quarter turn opposite lock manouvres :lol:

Fortunately, the Uberbarge is only slightly heavier, but has all 4 wheels driven which makes things far less dramatic, thus reducing the chance of getting a clip round the lug from the pax seat :roll:
