My new Ride

Hello everyone,
It's great that we now have a forum for the R231 AMG SLs. Much appreciated.
I thought I'd post a picture of my new SL63, picked up with the European Delivery program about 2 weeks ago in Singlefingen.

Congrats! Picked our up last Sept at the Factory too. Was an amazing trip.

What's odd is that our tags aren't that far off from yours - makes you wonder what the naming scheme is for assigning them. There have to have been more than just 50 or so cars between us (probably the day I picked up mine!)

Nice car. The way I think they count the plate numbers, there were about 940 plates issued by this township (BB) between yours and mine:
50 with the letter U
100 ea. the letters V, W, X, Y, Z, A,B,C
90 with the letter D.

Thanks, and yes - when I looked again at my plates I realized I had a U in my sequence....

So what are your car's specifications? What options and/or packages did you get? Details please!

Hi John,
No change from the answer I gave you a while back on the R231 SL forum.
Best,
Bill

Thank you. I'm down to my last 14 days of having the car here in Europe. The SL is currently at the local MB dealer to have the rear axle oil changed (required at 1850 miles).
