'The only other production car I can think of to have the same guvnor effect is the Phantom'

Rod Stewart is following us. Seen him twice today sloping around Miami in a black Mercedes CLK AMG convertible and both times he's pretended to be looking the other way. But the cockatoo-haired crooner's fooling no one: we know he's been checking us out.

Can't blame him really - everyone else has too. That's because we've been cruising the Art Deco streets, warmed by blasts of hot air skimming off the bath-temperature azure blue ocean, past crowds of walking melanomas, in a car with a more potent sex appeal than all of the gravel-voiced rocker's wives and girlfriends put together. Rod, to mangle some of his lyrics, definitely thinks it's sexy and clearly wants its body.
