Mark,

I can't believe I came to the meet so late and missed meeting up with you. haha It's all good though, I still had fun with the guys who were still there. The wheels look completely sexy on the 500. For some reason, your car looks so much different from when I last saw it last time I was at your house. Anyways man, hit me up soon and lets get some starbucks and have a photo shoot session down in NB.

Very nicely photographed.

Gives perfect comparison of slope of hoods (bonnets) and windshields.

W211 is a bit harder to park as front fenders are basically invisible from driver's seat.

W124 was an aerodynamic revolution in its day, but clearly W211 is following on nicely.
