Hey Mate!

Welcome to MBworld! Thank you for the introduction!

I would check out the (R230) forum for help concerning you plans.

Welcome Tony, from London!

I picked up an SL500 a number of weeks back and loving it so far. I was torn between the 500 and 55, but picked up my 5000 for a decent price on eBay. Needs a bit of work here and there, which I am happy to do in my spare time.

See you around
