Here's a vid of a 560SL tearing up some curvey hills somewhere in Cali I think. To truly appreciate, should be watched with sound to take in the engine roar and the tire squeals:

YouTube - San Pasqual Valley 1

There's a second part too.

Now if I could just figure out how to download and loop it as my desktop background...

Meh. Cheap tires. Lousy pavement.

We got some roads near here that make that route look like the Pennsylvania turnpike! But I ain't telling where exactly they are...

I'm guessing your talking about the hill country northwest of SA. There are some pretty sweet roads out there. If only it was a little closer to me. Just a lot of flat swampland over here in houston. loveable swampland, though

A truly terrifying experience,

driving that fast around sweeping corners on the wrong side of the road.

No, we drive on the right side of the road. In every sense.

Nice video. Kind of takes away from it that its sound is dubbed though. I would have really liked to have heard the actual mercedes engine.

The short movie is call Rendezvous, and is one of my favorite car videos. I have it on both VHS and DVD. Do a google on the movie title to buy it or to find out the details. I love to show it to friends who see it for the first time and watch their reaction!
