Default OT: COTA AMG Driving Academy Pics and Something Special for Eduardo

Was at one of my favorite clients this morning. As I emerged from a meeting and looked out our conf room window, a bright green AMG caught my eye. The AMG driving academy had taken over and mobilized over the couple hours I was in my meeting. Pretty efficient, impressive. Went down to take some quick pics of the new GTs on grid, etc. For our green lover Eduardo, I took a few pics of a special AMG at the event... sorry only had iphone

Also saw the Porsche/PCA rigs starting to show up. Will be out there tomorrow and probably Sunday, if I can figure out how to swing that on mother's day...

The G was stunning. Hard to capture with an iPhone. Eduardo - you need to buy this and tow your GT3 behind it on a trailer!!!!

Even the inside had green stitching. Hard to see in this pic through the window, but it was so sweet.

Jonathan: You cracked me up! Now that is the proper color for that Mercedes! I guess I am going to have to get rid of my PTS 'Gelbgrün' Jeep® Wrangler Sport....

Thanks for the pics! Glad they got rid of all that gear in the paddock and the half wall in pit lane that was there for Speed Ventures!

I drove one Sat, KY you'd hate it. It's a 'fun' car, but hardly a serious car. I think it's the perfect wife car...they would look cool in it and you can drive every now and again. Buddy who got his (for the wife) feels the same way It was a gray color and looked good, but in a cute way.

It's about the same price as GT3 and completely different. No way I'd pay $140 for that car.

they were a bit unimpressive in person, aesthetically... I haven't driven one so cant say on performance... but they looked like little baby jaguars... maybe with a black series treatment they could look more serious and appealing...

Looks like you and I were at the AMG Academy 5/2 driving their cars together.
Too bad we missed each other.
I posted my comments on the AMG GT-S on RL here:
