So do I Paul.

No I haven't inspected it - yet. I suppose they lengthened it, and added a
vestibule to reduce the noise to NR class levels. I suppose they also put in
the most basic of amenities - a toilet. How about a silent brake valve,
climate control air-conditioning, CD player, a decent fridge, in-cab fuel
gauge, shall I go on.

I suppose I'm cynical from previous C class experiences. I don't think much
of engines where the only way to keep warm is to turn the hotplate on high.
They look mean, and sound great - I just don't particularly want to drive
one. (Nice paint-job though).

Have you get your $64 yet ??? :-))
