I have just returned from a cruise down the East Coast of the USA and Florida. One of the destinations was Tampa where I got to meet Jeff Banks and ride in his immaculate SLK55. Jeff kindly picked me up at Tampa Port Terminal 2 and drove me some 25 or so miles to his home where we spent sometime. He kindly took me to his local Pizza Restaurant where I also sampled some local beer. I also got to meet Jeff's wife Marsha. He then took me back to my ship. During the driving part, Jeff demonstrated several times the performance of his car which is very impressive.

Jeff was very hospitible and pleasure to meet.

I include some pictures of his car and also of the man himself. Thanks Jeff

Jeff's car certainly has loads of grunt.No Mustangs were engaged. However. a BMW was shown a clean pair of heels and quickly became a speck in the distance.
Great meeting Jeff in person and experiencing his car.

Fabulous, Martin. What a gent that Mr. Banks is.
Takes me back to my visit to Tampa a few years ago. Lovely memories. 🧡
And a mustang did feature in that visit - but not raced.
