@morris I don't have any issue at all with *how* the car was driven, only that it wasn't warmed up first. I kept hoping the temp gauge was broken... until it was clear that it was rising during the video. If I drive any car at more than a very sedate pace it's my habit to get them to operating temp first I owned a Euro W126 280SE for a number of years. That car was much happier when it was warm. Pretty car & GLWS.
I really like this car but the driving video put me off. I wouldn't want to own a car that someone is willing to drive that hard when the driveline is dead cold. :-(
