This might not exactly fit into the 209 forum but it's something I want to share with my fellow MB e-friends.

I was in Kuwait today, flew back to Abu Dhabi (UAE) then connected on to Doha (Qatar). The hotel in Doha always sends a car to pick me up at the airport, a S500, stunning ride but tonight I got a real treat, they upgraded. I was driven to the hotel in a brand new S600 V12 This is the absolute pinacle of any production car limo I've ever been in. I adjusted the rear set, put the massage on and told the driver (my usual guy) to give me a V12 demo - OMG, did he ever. One word - a beast from a refined family.

Anyways, I'm loaded up with bubbly and JD so I'm off to bed, but hell ya, what a ride!

 

you are right, it doesn't fit in the w209 section

 

on a similar note, ive been driving a CLS63 for the past week and for the next week as well, now thats a ride

 

That's a nice ride indeed

 

Gotta love those back massagers/recliners We have the w221 S600 in my family as well!

 

I wonder if we could retro-fit the massaging seats into the W209 CLK? (now it fits )

Yeah man, that is one bad a$$ car. They have two new S class here at the hotel, the S600 and an S65 AMG, I asked for the AMG to take me back to the airport tonight

 

See if you could steal the tips off the S65 and send them to me....lol

 

Umm, no. Not a good part of the world to commit a crime!

 

lol, very true

 

Mind you, the CLK is automatic so I could drive it with stumps... Anyways, directly regarding this topic, I'm off to check out and head to the airport. Catch you on the flip side.

 

Well, Maybe not a question for the 209 thread, with all due respect, but what the heck do u do? That is a nice service to have.

 

Gotta love that V12 motor.

 

Work in the oil & gas industry, Regional Technical Manager for Africa, Middle East, Caspian, SE Asia and Australia. My company looks after me very well, nice compromise for the 300+ days a year I travel and some of the less than stable countries I often have to visit

 

You are a brave man Kev. Had me scared a bit when I didn't see any posts for a couple days and the last I heard you were about to cross the Iraq border..

 

Even though CNN wouldn't have it, there are far worse places then Iraq. And besides, I have a deal with my wife, if I go missing or end up the star of one of those internet terrorist home videos, she'll update my online status...

 

lol,
