Hey LIONHEAD...great to hear from you. Don't talk to me about changing wheels... a SL65...zoom!!!! And that XKR ain't no slouch either!. I was about an inch away from a XK Convertible in Radiance Red and my dealer in Denver made me a deal on the SL550 I could not refuse.

I am looking for a SLC next. Saw the outline of if under canvas in Denver when I picked up the SL. Wonder how long it will be to get a used one...:-)

Good hearing from you and if you ever get out to the wide open spaces, send me a note.

Somehow I see you in an SLR ... on the Autobahn. Passing Jeremy Clarkson with a big grin on your face and a pair of 50-cals facing rearward.

But I digress ...

Please tell me you are joking. Right?

I may wig out if you get rid of that SL that you just got just some 60 days ago.

The SLR is the $500K model Brian and has been around a couple of years, although they are releasing a convertible version. However, the SLC is a new hardtop coupe but is "only" about $275K. But have no fear... I will not give up the SL for any of these.

Unless however, Megabucks is in my future.
