The McMerc exposes you absolutely: there is no windscreen and no roof, it looks utterly exhibitionist. Wiser men would have brought a helmet – I did not. It does give you a good idea of how exhausting it must have been driving the old SLR. In the new one, accelerating feels like standing on the wingtip of a 747 – the wind pushes your glasses into your face and your hair assumes a silent movie look as insects spatter your teeth.
