Well done! Was that a built LB7 in an 06 truck? The video showed the guys wrenching on what I thought was a motor with LB7 valve covers etc

Very interesting, not much of a trailer (what did it weigh?) but still very interesting.

it was a Mercedes with a small trailer...

South Africa now holds a new Guinness World Record, thanks to Eugene Herbert recording the fastest towing of a standard caravan by a standard production vehicle.
Herbert, with the support of Gypsey, achieved the record late last week by clocking 223,881 km/h in a Mercedes-Benz S600, whose twin turbo 5,5-litre, V12 engine is arguably amongst the most powerful in the country.
The previous record (205,7 km/h) was achieved with a Dodge Viper GTS and the record for modified vehicles stood at 207,38 km/h.
“Last year, an attempt was made at Mafikeng airport, with a Jurgens Fleetline towed by a Mercedes Benz ML500 that achieved a best of 174 km/h. Tests showed it was possible to reach 200 km/h within 1,5 km, so with a 3 km run way available at Hoedspruit we were confident of reaching 210 km/h and still having room to stop”.
While the recommended maximum towing speed for a caravan is 100 km/h, the Guinness World Record should make caravan owners feel even more confident of the towing characteristics of South African designed mobile homes.
