Another very nice photo NJ! That one would make a great desktop image.

If you use a Mac and iPhoto - you should think about compiling a coffee table book of your 550 photos! (via the iPhoto book tool).

Obviously, I was a little late. But this one does something for me artistically.

Thanks Reach

I have done a couple of those iBooks, one a hard copy and the two other small ones on other subjects and was very pleased with the results. I just may take your suggestion and see what I can come up with. You can also convert the book into a nice slide show with music.

What I appreciate most is that this person likes Chick-fil-A as much as I do! They were there the whole time I went through the drive-through. Anybody recognize this 320? (Uh, Danno, is it you?)

Heh - on first post I forgot to scramble them! Whoops!

Nothing like a little PhotoShop magic to confuse folks.

Just got back from the NAIAS...I couldn't resist taking a pic of the 550.


The Verde is beautiful in person.

Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction

There were a few Mercs at the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction. The lovely blue GL450 was on some sort of scissors lift that I think was meant to show how you could park one car under another or something. Notice the gal in front of it is looking at the price list, not the lift!

I would like one of the SLR's but my opening bid wouldn't cover the commission on the sale...nice shots Steve.

Few more from motor city. The first few are the GLK, next two are interior shots of a beautiful Maybach they had. The last one is my personal favorite...Corvette ZR1.

Nice pics, guys! My Dad normally goes every year to that auction, but due to health reasons, couldn't make it this year. This is the first year he's missed in over 25 years.

Was yours at an auction or a show? You could buy the one I saw.

It's funny, sometimes MB makes something with a style that just turns me off, and sometimes (like with the SLR), it's just spot-on! (Oh, and like the two GL styles being sold now, with difficulty deciding which I like better.)

Okay, so maybe there was a red rope separting me from it. But I would have to sell the house to buy one, so no biggie.

GL550 iBook

I received the finished iBook today of the GL550. Looks excellent although I see some things I should have done differently. They do an excellent job.

Here is the Cover...

It rarely snows in southern California, but here is what I woke up to this morning

X164 GL-Class Unofficial Picture Thread-mb_snow.jpg

Not a lot of snow, but the windshield was a solid sheet of ice.

Ugh! You can say that again! No snow tonight, just a lot of rain. Just a lovely situation with 3 dogs who love water.

Pupsickles? We've not had snow in Scottsdale in probably six or more years.

They played a bit last night in the snow. This was the first snow for our newest Lab, Carver. He's a yellow, so you can't see the snow on his fur. He seemed to enjoy it but was very confused when we threw snow ***** that disintigrated!.

Pics after detail

So I decided to get mine detailed the day before the "SoCal Storm of 08" hit. Yup, I am like that

John, my detailer, took these and did an excellent job as usual in the detail. Of course, he is no NJ when it comes to taking pics

Enjoy.
