Hey all! Just picked up a 2005 SL600 w 21k miles on it, and happy to join! Long time Porsche guy and Rennlister but fiancé said next droptop (this is my 39th car in 20 years) has to be able to fit 2 sets of golf clubs in it with the top down. 911 was pretty much out at that point, and I came across this steal, V12 power with almost no miles and like new inside and out.
See you in the funny pages, err I mean forums!
Congratulations! You will be happy with your decision, it is a great car. Any plans for the new MB or going to keep it how it is?
Head unit seems to be a must change, but I really crave the OEM look. I have the unit without the wood trim around the top so it's kinda tough to find a good looking unit without the "square peg in round hole" look. I'll post in the R230 forums, someone has had to come up with something! I know if I had the wood trim around I could do the chinese OEM looking units with all the features I really want (BT streaming, backup cam, etc).
That being said, I head Fabspeed makes a V12 tune that adds like 150HP so maybe just possibly that might be on the horizon as well!
PICS of the new baby when I bought her! Believe it or not, even though these are the dealer pics it looks EXACTLY like this when I picked it up. Well cared for, only 21k miles, every piece of wood looks brand new.

Only things I wish it had are Distronic (I tend to do a lot of highway driving for work) and Parktronic (I'm an Asian driver... LOL)
