Oh well...at least it was fun to watch Hammond and May sliding all over the place while the interior was falling apart.

The S280 never was a performance car. Weighing 2 tons, it's only able of 0 to 60 Mph in 11 Seconds. So you can imagine how it would perform with another 2 tons of cement. The "S-Cottage-Class" now weighing 4 tons did 0 to 60 Mph in 35 Seconds. Hey! That's not bad for a cottage!
