Hi All,

I was a member several years ago but I forgot my User ID and password so I'm coming back as a zero post count newbie. I recently bought a 2009 SL550 that will share space with a '03 Jag XK8 and of course have questions that aren't addressed in an owner manual that forum members will certainly have answers to Past Mercedes cars have been a 230SL and a 450SLC.


Back when I was more 'in a hurry' than these days I had three Cobra's (one was an original), lots of Corvettes (my Dad bought one of the 300 original Corvettes [new] in '53 and many other really fun performance sports and drag race cars. Always broke, I maintained an ear to ear smile playing with all those wonderful cars I couldn't afford. Last year, after years of searching, I found Dad's '53 Corvette (#133) in Long Island! It is receiving a ground up restoration. I look forward to learning more about the '09 SL550 I just picked up as well as sharing what I've learned from the assortment of past cars that have spent time in my garage.




Best to all,

RFB

Might be good with a wrench but being able to post pictures on forums doesn't compute (intentional pun). I was amazed I got a side shot of the MB in as my avatar! My picture skills die if I can't drag and drop.
