Checking in

I have been a member for awhile, 2002 CLK 320, original owner , Blk/ ash, 81000 miles. 2017 Gls 450, 68000 miles. Retired / sold E320 Blutec, 180000 when sold I suspect still going.
I wanted to post pictures of my newest Mercedes, a 2012 R 230 Sl 63, one owner no accident all Maintainence records, only problem was she was in Canadaand it was a 6 week ordeal going thr customs due to international red tape. Bottom line is I have had her one month now and I smile every time I take her out. Fantastic V8 growl, responsive throttle, gteat shifting transmission, comfortable, and in my humble opinion, one of the best looking vehicles on the road. She has new Michelin pilot sports and handles fine. The brakes are also incredible. The SL has been on my list for a very long time and I am not disappointed. For the naysayers, I purchased. Fidelity plan just in case, I plan on many years of driving her.
