damn those people are really crazy......

so wait, someone bought this car, bought the slr, and put the slr engine in this car and basically "abandoned" the slr?

i dont' think you can just buy a slr engine right?

Maybe got it outta that crashed one? Who knows, this guy is very rich. As I see it, rich enough to convince MB to let him buy an SLR engine, or rich enough to just buy an SLR and leave its shell somewhere to chill.
