Hello, welcome to the Edmonds podcast podcast. I'm

moderator, DeAndrew, here with Alistair Weaver. How are you? Welcome back. Thank you. It's been a, it's

been quite a full on couple of weeks. I went down to the Gigafactory, the Tesla Gigafactory last week

even as practical as a new Mustang. You know, Mustang being a little bit easier to get in

and out of and, you know, decent ride height from the factory and good features. But there's just

something to say about those cars. I don't know if if there's a long-term place for it, you know,

like an LC-500 and Mercedes SL, but they keep hanging on

and they're a joy to drive.

I just, I just drove the Mercedes SL, not the SL, it's the AMG GTCoop, which is basically

the coupe version of the SL this week

without giving anything away which may have been at the UDrags course but that was

yeah I mean beautiful beautiful car I mean it's the same thing isn't you got the else you know
