Just an FYI that I found amusing to read. Article includes Coulthard and a familiar photo of his 280SL:

On a similar topic,

Legendary driver Stirling Moss, as interviewed in the recent Automobile Magazine, doesn't like to drive much anymore.  If needed he takes a taxi or has his wife take him in her Smart.  When asked what he did for the new SLR Stirling Moss, he said, he let MB use his name.  Doesn't much like modern cars.  The only car he actually owns is a race car.
