Three can be plenty!

Long ago, I remember overtaking a BMW 635 Csi on the M4 at around 125 mph in my Colt Galant turbo, and feeling great...only to think the engine had stopped as some big Mercedes screamed past me in the outer lane, so fast I could do nothing but stare in awe at its rapidly disappearing rear bumper...

So my passenger said pull off here John and we'll visit the big Mercedes dealer just off the motorway, near Swindon. Perusing the cars in the showroom, we spied the one that left us for dead - and sure enough, it was an automatic with just three gears!
